The first thing that the likes of the ignorant Senator Ted Cruz should understand is that Iran is Persian not Arab, and represents an independent civilization going back to the times of ancient Greece. And that Islam is a religion not an ethnicity, as is Judaism. He also needs to go re-read his Bible, specifically Genesis 12:1-3 which says:
Then the LORD said to Abram, “Leave your country, your kindred, and your father’s household, and go to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you; and all the families of the earth will be blessed through you.”
This is Abram, the father of the three great Abrahamic religions; Islam, Christianity and Judaism. Israel is never mentioned, and it also very specifically states that “all the families of the earth will be blessed through you”. To misquote the Bible, explicitly misrepresenting the stated words of the Christian God, is to be a heretic. Ted Cruz should be reminded that he was elected to serve Americans, not to serve a foreign power.
Roger Boyd’s article is stupendous. Thank you for posting it.
America is falling apart at a rapid pace; we must look to the past to understand why. Selfish cruel leaders have ruled our nation the last 100 years. Millions of people died because of them. America must turn the page. Uncertainty lies ahead. I don’t want Trump to bomb Iran. I refuse to live in fear of authoritarian tech moguls who think they can rule this world with an algorithm. The Lord is my Shepherd – not Trump or Musk or Palantir or Blackrock.
Excellent summary
summary myass, more like a book possibly adn Encylopeidia.
“The Scofield Bible, a heretical reinterpretation of the King James Bible by Scofield,” Somebody is stretching the truth or intentionally misleading the reader. The Scofield Bible fell into disuse 40+yrs ago along with the KJV. Scofield did not re-interpret the KJB. All he did was add copious notes and connect verses from Gen to Rev. across the KJV Bible platform. It is an excellent study Bible because of those notes and verse connections. Is he wrong on stuff ? Absolutely. He was human and his notes are not Holy Spirit inspired, the same as all Bible commentators are not inspired. Pink, Bullinger, Pember, Denton, Spurgeon, et al, all have excellent material. But each of them is uninspired in the way the Bible is Holy Spirit inspired. Bullinger (1837-1913) as an example has an excellent study Bible and lots of excellent books. He believed the Earth is flat. You have to be smart enough to not be hoodooed into believing something just because some really smart guy wrote/said it. That includes supporting Israel just because it is Israel or believing the Earth is flat.
Excellent point!
