See now you just need to manufacture votes somewhere like California or Fulton county to swing Virginia. This is dumb.

Well, we know what they will do if they win the midterms and gain control of Congress and the Senate.
re: Israel is the US' biggest ally now

I don’t know, Trump’s hubris is such that he believes whatever he decides will succeed. I doubt anyone needed to convince him; he simply had an idea and ran with it. Everything we’ve seen from him over the years supports this pattern far more than the notion that someone else talked him into it.

Nobody can talk him out of posting on social media, but some guy half way around the world can talk him into bombing a country? If there is one thing we should all agree on is Trump does what Trump wants to do.

Feel free to educate those of your fellow Protestants who insist that they are Bible Alone/Faith Alone and yet believe that Scripture clearly teaches that Homosexual sexual activity is Godly and Good.
I agree with every point you made. Anyone who reads the Bible honestly, without projecting their own wishes onto it, would reach the same conclusion. That’s why most Christians agree on about 90%, with most disagreements boiling down to secondary issues. There will always be false teachers ready to scratch the ‘itchy ears’ of those who want to hear what suits them. So far, the Catholic Church has been fortunate to keep much of that corruption out of its core doctrines. But if it ever does become corrupted, would you still support the institution? Or do you believe it simply cannot be corrupted?

You are your own teaching authority. When you are your own teaching authority on what the Bible says, you can never be wrong, and other people who don't agree with you can never be right.
I do believe people can be persuaded when they hold a wrong belief. In my experience, most clearly incorrect beliefs stem from not having read the Scriptures in their proper context for themselves. Ultimately, it comes down to whether someone is willing to test their beliefs against Scripture, many simply aren’t.
That said, there are some issues where we won’t know the definitive answer until the time comes, and that’s okay too, as long as we can clearly distinguish between beliefs that can be settled by Scripture and those that cannot.

I want peace in the ME as well. Zionism has brought anything but peace to the region. Look at all the displaced migrants in Europe and the U.S. for example. If they always hated us on a religious basis, then we certainly fricked up by destabilizing the region. I don’t buy the “they all want to kill us” mentality. It’s just not the case. We somehow became fast friends with Japan and Germany after WW2. Japan was the “Iran” of that day. It’s all propaganda driven. We can’t even fix our own immigration system that allows third worlders to takeover our own cities but we have all this energy to focus on Iran and Syria and Libya and soon to be Turkey. We could be helping ourselves but we are bullying these piss ant Middle East countries on behalf of Israel instead:
I want peace in the Middle East too, but the region’s instability and threats to us predated Israel’s founding. America’s first overseas wars were the Barbary Wars against North African Muslim pirate states that raided US ships, enslaved crews, and demanded tribute on religious grounds, long before modern Israel existed. Islam, especially in that region has always been aggressive and contrary to our interests. You sound like if we do something somewhere else we can’t do something at home, we are more than capable of walking and chewing gum at the same time, the domestic issues are unrelated, those are just a matter of will.

Under your definition, yes, I support Israel and would identify as a Zionist. But I don’t rank that support any higher than our support for other key allies, such as Taiwan, Japan or any other longstanding alliance.

Are you America first?
Yes, without question.

More importantly, tell us why it’s in our best interests? Is it solely religious based?
Militarily
Israel serves as a valuable real-world proving ground for advanced military technologies. The Iron Dome missile defense system is a prime example: it has been extensively battle-tested against rockets and drones, providing critical data and lessons that benefit our defense systems and capabilities.
Intelligence
Israel maintains one of the most sophisticated intelligence networks in the region. It regularly shares high-value intelligence with us, helping to counter shared threats in terrorism and regional instability.
Culturally
Israel is the most Westernized society in the Middle East. This makes it easier for us to relate to Israeli perspectives, thought processes, and motivations compared to many other countries in the region.
Alliance
They have been our allies in the region since their inception, In an era when the we are facing challenges in maintaining partnerships and influence around the world, abandoning a long-standing ally in such a strategically important area would seem counterproductive.
Religious
If there’s a religious reason, it largely ties into preferring a Jewish democratic state over another Islamist-leaning regime as an a partner in the region.
quote:
Please tell us where American interests lie, based on your worldview? Does the security of our country take precedence over that of Israel?
American interests center on secure oil supplies, the petrodollar, and fighting Islamist terrorism.
Yes, US security always comes first. Support for Israel is strategic: it delivers intelligence, battle-tested military tech, and a reliable partner against shared threats in a tough region.
