Christians United For Isreal - CUFI
A Night To Honor Israel - 30th Anniversary
CUFI is a group started in 1981 in San Antonio, TX by Christian Pastor John Hagee who has an enormous church in San Antonio. Last night they had the 30th anniversary of the founding of CUFI at which Glenn Beck was the Keynote Speaker. About 5,000 of my friends and compatriots attended and had a wonderful night of talks, singing Jewish songs and general peace and love. One of the speeches was given by the Israeli ambassador to the SW US.
My only problem is all of the walking we had to do around the enormous church. This morning I really know about my disabilities - I hurt plenty. Thankfully my Heavenly Father blessed me with a good parking spot or the pain would be worse. As I was dropping my wife off to get in line, a man in a truck pulled out of a parking space 8 spaces from the church.
Glenn's message, and the messages of all the other speakers were inspiring and give great hope in a time when hope is needed. It was amazing to be in a crowd of 5,000 Conservative Christian Believers all cheering for Israel. It was the first time I have seen Glenn Beck speak in person.
All in all, orthopedic pain included, it was a great night.

Wish the private Xian/Jewish groups would fund their pet country Israel instead of expecting American taxpayers to prop it up. USA taxpayer stopped being robbed to keep the place going, it would die on the vine. It simply isnt economically viable as a truly independent country.

We actually just talked about the importance of supporting Israel last night at church. That is why America is so blessed. We don't deserve it due to our sin, but our nation has supported Israel, and God honors that. I remember when Brother Hagee did all his teaching on Israel, and had that first big conference, but it doesn't seem like 30yrs ago. Time flies, doesn't it?
I'm glad you had a wonderful night.

You are so right. I pray others will see the importance of supporting Israel.

Plenty - what goes on in the world of a GOOD NATURE is excellent to provide a ray of hope to all. All too often there is just gloom and doom. And last night surely was a celebration of Christians United with Israel. What is wrong with happiness and hope?? Or is Hope just embodied in political rhetoric by the annointed one - Obozo???
The bible is quite specific when it talks about how you treat Israel and the Jewish people is how heavenly father will treat you.

However, it refers to the Israel of old. The modern Israel is one wracked by war, and is a small country that seems to be rather arid. If the religious could leave Israel untouched, it may start to heal. Until then, every religious nut will continue to tear it hither and thither.

Here's a provocative thought.
Which Christian in the example below has faith? Is one train of thought arrogant?
The Christian that thinks they can help Israel (financially or politically) and contributes such to the nation, or
the Christian that trusts "God's Will" will be done (concerning Israel) and keeps focused on themselves and their family.
food for thought....

Just wondering, what was the boundries in old isreal? The people that lived there, customs, beliefs compared to those close by at the time. Would things have a differant meaning today? Anyway, I really am courious to find out more. Seems to me that if everything is taken literally , then we shouldn't be eating pork, non kosher meat and a bunch of other things according to Deutaronomy (sp)
?

It's General Chat.
Maybe you missed a roadsign and ended up here by accident?

Perhaps some light reading on the New Covenant would help?

It really doesn't matter. The covenant of God stands. It always stands no matter what the sin of the people is. God is faithful. He remembers covenant.
It's like the bible story when King David looks to find Mephibosheth. It didn't matter that he was of a linage of Saul who was an enemy to David. David still honored the covenant because that is God's way.
Make no mistake, God will honor Israel because of the Covenant made with Abram.
It is very wise to be on the side of that conflict that God honors. If you are on the wrong side, you will be in danger.

God's Word proclaims His will. And it will never pass away. It's still the same today as it was in Gen 12-17. That covenant still stands.

So then, does being a feminist make me "on the wrong side of God" since, because they Bible quite clearly does not put females on the same level of males, I will probably then be sent to Heck?

If you believe that there is a God, why would you not want to be on His side, no matter what? It is all about choice.

Of course I do. I just don't think women are worth less than men. A sticky situation here...

Easy. The homesteader has the cow or goat which he or she uses for milk.
The state of Israel has the fundamentalist Christians who keep the "milk" (ie taxpayer dollars) flowing to Israel and help deflect retribution for their treatment of the Palestinians.
Makes it even funnier that the feeling isn't mutual:

Evangelical Christians have a high opinion not just of the Jewish state but of Jews as people. That Jewish voters are overwhelmingly liberal doesn’t seem to bother evangelicals, despite their own conservative politics. Yet Jews don’t return the favor: in one Pew survey, 42 percent of Jewish respondents expressed hostility to evangelicals and fundamentalists. As two scholars from Baruch College have shown, a much smaller fraction—about 16 percent—of the American public has similarly antagonistic feelings toward Christian fundamentalists.

I'm so glad you were able to attend the event with your wife and that you had a good time. I've heard a couple of small clips from Glenn's speech that night, the whole speech will be made available on GBTV on Nov 10, I believe.
I went to Israel in August with my granddaughter for Glenn's Restoring Courage events. We had a wonderful time touring the holy sites and making a lot of new friends. Pastor Hagee spoke at the first event on Aug 21 at Caesarea. He was awesome and is a powerful speaker. There were a lot of Israelis in the audience.
My husband and I also went to Washington DC on 8/28/10 for Glenn's Restoring Honor rally. Glenn is also a powerful and passionate speaker. He has no speech writers. He speaks from the heart because he believes in what he says.
I hope you are feeling better. I know about orthopedic pain. I had a total hip replacement the end of Sept and now have a torn cartilage in the left knee.

Sounds to me like you read the Bible with a chip on your shoulder. Nowhere does the Bible state that men are worth more than women.
