How about the Arabs residing in the West Bank now? Drive them out? That would not be right either.Originally posted by breytonhartge:The land was given to the Jews by God. It is rightfully theirs, according to the bible. And I second John and Ironside... the land should not be divided and handed back, what was handed back belonged to the Jews.
But Palestine was never a sovereign nation in the past? I thought it was always under some colony .. from the Ottoman Empire to the British?Originally posted by maggot:The land belong to the palestinians, not the israelis.
If you based on history long time ago....singapore land belong to Indonesia then we should join back Indonesia
Pat Robertson is a man who only seizes world events and twists it for his own advantage.Originally posted by Icemoon:lol .. I read the wiki of Sharon and tele-evangelist Pat Robertson said God gave Sharon the stroke for dividing Israel .. and why Rabin was assassinated too.
They were punished by God.
Don't u think we shouldnt play around with almighty God? Whether they were punished is for God to decide. Would you like it if according to an earlier post, our pm agrees to secede some land to indonesia bcos last time we belong to them?Originally posted by Icemoon:lol ..

Move back within the borders of 67?Originally posted by Repented John:But how about the jews living there now?
It's quite unfair to them when the radicals dont want to let up their bombardment of settlements with missiles. Anyway, the land belongs to the Jews since Abraham's time & David's time & Solomon's time.Originally posted by nukewatch:Move back within the borders of 67?
The Israelis hadn't been exactly fair to the Palestinian either.Originally posted by Repented John:It's quite unfair to them when the radicals dont want to let up their bombardment of settlements with missiles.

Last time, this land we call Singapore belong to the natives of Malay Archipelago, specifically, the Sultan of Johore and his subjects.Originally posted by Repented John:It's quite unfair to them when the radicals dont want to let up their bombardment of settlements with missiles.

But the world hasnt been fair to the Jews either.Originally posted by nukewatch:The Israelis hadn't been exactly fair to the Palestinian either.
I was quoting the spiritual aspects to this issue. As I am a Christian, I believe Christ Jesus will set foot on Mount Zion so we cannot divide the land.Originally posted by laurence82:Last time, this land we call Singapore belong to the natives of Malay Archipelago, specifically, the Sultan of Johore and his subjects.
So how?
Americas belong the natives Indians, and Australia too.
If we all use this reasoning, we are looking at a possible massive migration worldwide.
God is greater than any human land boundary.That's what I believe.Originally posted by Repented John:I was quoting the spiritual aspects to this issue. As I am a Christian, I believe Christ Jesus will set foot on Mount Zion so we cannot divide the land.
But in genesis & revelation, it's stated precisely where Abraham's descendants will dwell & where Christ Jesus will come. He is the beginning & the end. The alpha & omega. The aleph tav. God is the God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob & many from the east, west, south & north will join them & Jesus is the bridegroom! Hallelujah! Amen!Originally posted by LazerLordz:God is greater than any human land boundary.That's what I believe.
Rubbish reasoning.Originally posted by laurence82:Last time, this land we call Singapore belong to the natives of Malay Archipelago, specifically, the Sultan of Johore and his subjects.

Well, a literalist and an allegorist will never agree.

Wait a minute .. I seem to remember Muslims believe in Jesus coming back to judge mankind also ..Originally posted by Repented John:But in genesis & revelation, it's stated precisely where Abraham's descendants will dwell & where Christ Jesus will come.

Ask you something .. if the Jewish state kicks the poor Palestinians out .. where do they expect the latter to stay?Originally posted by laurence82:Americas belong the natives Indians, and Australia too.

The state of Johor was a sovereign nation before it transfer its sovereignty to the new country called Malaysia. I dont think the interest of the Johor state would diminish with the transfer of sovereignty, meaning, I dont think the Malays as a whole wont stop thinking that the Chinese and Indians are just immigrants to their land.Originally posted by Icemoon:Rubbish reasoning.
You conveniently forgot the Malaysians kicked us out and LKY even wept over the issue
The Sultan of Johore was never a sovereign nation. But Malaysia is.
Similarly .. Palestine was never a sovereign nation .. but Britian and Ottoman Empire were.
Paiseh .. I take liberty with the term .. cos Empire is not exactly a nation-state heh.
Isnt that what i was trying to say in response to people arguing for the case Palestine belongs to the Jews only?Originally posted by Icemoon:Ask you something .. if the Jewish state kicks the poor Palestinians out .. where do they expect the latter to stay?
If we twist the problem and the Jews were kicked out .. where do you think they can stay? America? This is what I call a mass migration lol.
Hah?Originally posted by laurence82:The state of Johor was a sovereign nation before it transfer its sovereignty to the new country called Malaysia.
Palestine belongs not to the Jews .. but the state of Israel.Originally posted by laurence82:Isnt that what i was trying to say in response to people arguing for the case Palestine belongs to the Jews only?
Well, we are supposed to treat the bible as literal as possible. Yes, i agree. Godd day to you also.Originally posted by LazerLordz:Well, a literalist and an allegorist will never agree. Good day to you.
Yes, they believe. So we have muslims also believing in the second advent of Christ.Originally posted by Icemoon:Wait a minute .. I seem to remember Muslims believe in Jesus coming back to judge mankind also ..
