Do Christians Need To Support Israel? https://blossom.primal.net/43586202edb97bdda53006bebd59bd053118f8d8a06db0e960456d48a44f44d9.mp4

There is no moral obligation for a Christian to support the state of Israel just because of their ties to Abraham, especially if the government is doing something wrong. In general, however, my perception of the nation is that its values are closely aligned to Christian values, so I tend to favor the things they do. I think I would have an easier time living in Israel than in Iran, for example. Iran sponsors terrorism and stirs up trouble in the region, whereas Israel primarily fights to maintain their existence among so many who want to wipe them out.

Yeah, thinking this way has helped me cope with what has been a very challenging year.

Why should we believe in God (in 100 words)?

We observe three things in the Universe. First, everything we observe is temporary and changing. There must be some kind of foundation that is the eternal and unchanging cause of it all. Second, the Universe is full of beauty, mathematical precision, and unfathomable design that the greatest human intellects struggle to understand. Third, we human animals have lofty desires for love, justice, and meaning that goes way beyond physical existence and animal life. These three things point to an all-powerful, eternal, unchanging, intelligent, and loving Creator who made humans in His image for the purpose of eternal life with Him.

Lol! It’s a Xiegu G90. I got my general license at the end of May (and it’s so hot here that leaving my apartment to set up an antenna hasn’t happened very often yet) so I am still breaking it in.. but it’s fantastic!

I was probably the last American who hadn't seen "Interstellar." Pretty good scifi.

No, you are not the last. I haven't seen it yet. I am just now watching Blade Runner 2049 (in stages because it's long) that I checked out from the library. The problem is that I usually watch movies with my wife, and she's not that interested in science fiction. I occasionally see a movie with some of my work friends who like more nerdy fare, and the last time I did that, it was Oppenheimer.
