god gave you Christ the Messiah too...seems to me, if you reject god's second covenant, then stop acting so sanctimonius about the first covenant there is no more important city in Christianity than Jerusalem, it is where god's only begotten son was rethlessly murdered by the Romans

yep, that's how it is and guess what, it's how it SHOULD be too

I could not bring myself to read your peice. I'll try later. If you want more history go to the old testament in the bible.Yea, I know that causes you to put up a wall but try reading 1st. and 2nd.Samuel, 1st and 2nd Kings, and 1st and 2nd. Chronicles.It contains alot of history of the middle east.

Israel was Jacob. He had many sons. One son was Judah. Many Jews today belong to that tribe, as also Benjamin. I am from Ephraim. He was a son of Joseph. I am American. So spiritually, Ephraim in present day Israel is as much mine as it is anyone else's. God has said so. Not a human. Politically, it is the US that has given Israel life and prosperity. If you do not welcome Mormons and Americans like me to "your" country, God will see to it you learn the Torah His way. Which means, understand who you are. One tribe of Israel, Judah. There are 13 tribes, and 12 of them have spiritual and physical rights in the Holy Land. You are welcome in the United States, another land of promise. Do not cut off you nose to spite your face, Judah. We are brothers. God is the Father. He rules, not man. Israel is my spiritual home just as as it is to Reuben and Dan.

Maybe in the protocols of the elders of Zion, or in al-Manar, but just so you know Rustum, Israel's study program includes the crusades and the Muslim empire, and there is no "Racist depictions of 'The Arabs'" in any textbook.

I mean you said: "Considering that arabs are in pretty much every part of the [Israeli] society, I'd say they are doing pretty damn well. Better than an Irishman in Britain. " What's your next joke?

I was born and raised in iraq, a family history there of 2000 years. Then we are forced out by the arabs. Now I am not allowed to return, or visit, or aquire property there, or have my property returned to me under iraqi law and punishable by death. What a country. Are you going to speak up for the compensation and return of Jewish property from the apartheid arab countries?

The lack of research used (and slight religious bigotry) makes me hope that Yizhak is a young college intern helping for the summer. Here is a short list of prominent Mormons that (according to Yizhak) "follow the dubbed prophet with no objection : ) " Secretary Mike Leavitt (former head of US Enviromental Protection Agency. Now head of US Dept of Health and part of Pres Bush cabinet.) Governor Mitt Romney (Governor of Massachusetts. Presidential candidate) Kevin Rollins (CEO of Dell Computers) Steve Young (NFL quarterback) Gladis Night (Gospel Singer). There are many more if you are curious, just google.

And which Jesus would that be? Mormons believe that Jesus is the brother of Satan (as taught in their Gospel Principles Sunday school lessons) and one of many gods in a pantheon of gods, of which each Mormon (LDS & FLDS) male hopes to belong to and to be a god of his own planet someday where he will procreate spirit babies to populate his planet with his wife/or polygamous wives (see the Mormon Doctrines and Covenants 132). Joseph Smith and other Mormon prophets said that all other churches are an abomination and that the Mormon church is only correct church on the face of the earth. The Mormons claim that there was a total apostacy and that for 1700 years Christianity disappeared from the face of the earth. The fact of the matter is, the Mormons attack Christianity continously, and everytime they go to someone's door and proclaim their "other" gospel, and talk about the apostacy and the need for a prophet, they condemn other people's religion. Christians and other religions have the right to answer back. God is not a man from a planet somewhere near a star called Kolab who exhaulted himself into godhood. There is but ONE God, the creator of all things. If any of you reading this don't believe what I have written, just go to lds.org and look up gospel principles. Also google "lds temple endowment ceremony." If you don't believe in the the same God, then you certainly don't believe in the same Jesus. Your current prophet even admitted that. So people, don't be naive, the Mormons always have an agenda.

You should re- read the scriptures. Love is the message not bigotry

Thank you Shmuel Sussman!! You pretty much summed up all my frustrations in one commentary! It's one thing when the people the Mormons broke off from (American "right-wing" Protestants) oppose and belittle them. But then when an Israeli does it, that's just sick and wrong! After all the respect we show them (and I'm sure many of them respect us back), it is just plain rude when one speaks of us so inconsiderately! I'm not asking for Israelis to believe our beliefs, I just want a bit of r-e-s-p-e-c-t (as Aretha put it). We don't even prosolyte in Israel, so there shouldn't be any tentions whatsoever.

And what agenda do the Mormons have in supporting Israel? (at least, what idea have you Evangelicals concocted to hate on the Mormons even more?)

Mormons don't condemn. They say that their's is the "most correct" religion (which I'm sure every religion claims, including yours). You have twisted Mormon doctrine in your comment to damage their image. Looks like you have an agenda of your own...

What a buffoon you are Patty. It is Either the Muslims, Jews, Catholics or Mormons. Get that through your thick, less minded, anti-Mormon head. You evangelicals are a shrinking minority. Get used to it. I have no more patience for your anti-everything but what you believe. You people have no respect for anyone else's teachings. Cannot see the good in anything except your own narrow minded myopic view. Growup.
