Except for Roo's statements, I see no reason given here why a Christian can not run for President.  The major problem as I see it why I would not want a Christian in the White House is that 99 % of all Christians today say Israel today is God's chosen and that means a contined constand battle over the land of Israel at the expense of innocents on both sides not to mention Palestinian Christians who are looked down upon and persecuted by Western Christians. I understand your point. With the exception of not wanting a Christian in the White House, I agree with you 100%. I am not pro-Israel, and never was, even before I was a preterist. Can you imagine, a preterist who is not pro-Israel in the White House?  |

Roo and Allyn, I can't agree more with what you are saying about Israel and the Dispys. I wrote in an article in the Public Forum of the Lebanon Daily News, when Bill Clinton was President that I don't think the White House should be controlled from Tel Aviv. You do realize, statements like these we are making can get us branded as "anti-Semite."  |

Roo But I have never hear the term "anti-Semite" use to describe someone opposed to Arabs. Have you?  - apple cider anyone. |

Didy asked:
I am only pointing out Zionist hypocrisy. They label people "anti-semites" who do not hold to their view of Israel in Bible prophecy. Yet they are against Arabs.
Just add the caffeine and we would have an illegal power drink.

Is it because they are also descendants of Abraham according to the flesh? - apple cider - - maybe we can mix them Just add the caffeine and we would have an illegal power drink. I sure could use that illegal power drink. ;D - hangover |

... Then I guess my next question is, what makes Arabs "semite"? Is it because they are also descendants of Abraham according to the flesh? From Wikipedia: In linguistics and ethnology, Semitic (from the Biblical "Shem", Hebrew: שם, translated as "name", Arabic: ساميّ) was first used to refer to a language family of largely Middle Eastern origin, now called the Semitic languages. This family includes the ancient and modern forms of Akkadian, Amharic, Arabic, Aramaic, Ge'ez, Hebrew, Maltese, Phoenician, Tigre and Tigrinya among others. As language studies are interwoven with cultural studies, the term also came to describe the extended cultures and ethnicities, as well as the history of these varied peoples as associated by close geographic and linguistic distribution. The term Semite means a member of any of various ancient and modern Semitic-speaking peoples originating in southwestern Asia, including Akkadians, Canaanites, Phoenicians, Hebrews, Arabs, and Ethiopian Semites. ... The word "Semitic" is an adjective derived from Shem, one of the three sons of Noah in the Bible (Genesis 5.32, 6.10, 10.21), or more precisely from the Greek derivative of that name, namely Σημ (Sēm); the noun form referring to a person is Semite. The term "anti-Semitic" (or "anti-Semite") overwhelmingly refers to Jews only. It was coined in 1879 by German journalist Wilhelm Marr in a pamphlet called, "The Victory of Germandom over Jewry". Using ideas of race and nationalism, Marr argued that Jews had become the first major power in the West. He accused them of being liberals, a people without roots who had Judaized Germans beyond salvation. In 1879 Marr founded the "League for Anti-Semitism". ------- There is more at the source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semite |
