== Gen. 12:3 abuse ==
"And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed."
I keep hearing right-wing "Christian Zionist" dispensationalist mouthpieces say over and over and over that this means one must bless the Jewish people or be cursed. That is a blatant distortion of biblical context—the seed of Abraham is Christ Jesus (Gal. 3:29), so the conditions for blessing pertain to whether one is of Christ, not whether one blesses a singular ethnic group.
{{cquote|Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: '''neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children''': but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.|||Romans 9:6–7}}
{{cquote|Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, '''a remnant''' shall be saved: for he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth. And as Esaias said before, '''Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.''' What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. '''But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.'''|||Romans 9:27–31}}
Literal Israel in the Old Testament was a typology for spiritual Israel (the apostolic church) in the New Testament era—for as the literal nation of Israel was marked by literal circumcision of the flesh, spiritual Israel is marked by the spiritual circumcision of the heart. Dispensationalism is a syncretism of "Protestant Christianity" with Judaized, "backwards" theology ignoring antitypical fulfillment in Christ. The literal nation of Israel definitely ceased being "God's chosen people" in 70 A.D. when their house was left unto them desolate. (Matt. 23:38)
"Christian Zionists" need to read and understand the Bible instead of regurgitating crap from Masonic evangelical loonheads. —[[User:LT|<code><span style="background:#FF8181">'''LT'''</span></code>]] '''''[[User talk:LT|<sup>Rev. 22:13</sup>]]''''' Sunday, 17:40, July 14, 2024 (EDT)
