Aren't you protected by libel / slander laws?
Did you see the court system when Trump "lost" the election? No thanks.
Also, not trying to minimize it but its true. We were promised this kind of thing would happen by Jesus and we have a long history of it happening. We win in the end. Love overcomes evil and the wicked. I think we need to remind our brothers and sisters in Christ of these things. These people are deceived by the enemy. They are not the enemy. God will deal with the enemy. We must trust in Jesus and not back down.
Indeed. You have now hit upon my actual Israel policy.

I'm not interested in debating you but I am curious what you think about this on a theological frame because of your church.
Do you hold to the theology that the Church is now Israel and that the Church is grafted into the promises of God? Specifically in Romans 9 and 11 Paul talks about this.

I don't hold to anything other than the HOPE that we are grafted into God whoever "we" are, whatever those promises may be. Ultimately, He will decide which of His promises apply, and which do not to each person.
Paul is usually misapplied and misinterpreted. His audience was "non-Jews" mostly. The "Jewish" Church was James--the one Paul asked for advice from.

For sure. Which is what most of us are.

Amen. I wish more people were this open. Ultimately, I need to put one foot in front of the other and walk.

It seems to me that far too many of our brothers have their trust in politicians and political movements and not enough in Jesus and his Church.

Absolutely. Wrong focus gets wrong results. Focus on the Heavenly Kingdom, let the politics sort themselves out.

No, although we do hold some overlapping views at times.
