Dana, I disagree with
you on some things. There seems to be two churches: one is the
body of Christ and the other is the wooden building church. The
body of Christ must hear from the word of God, the Bible, not
the wooden building church which may have a wealthy CEO wanting
more money.

Therefore, Christians have to think how to give and prosper the
work of the Lord, and which church they may leave a will and
give to, or to a CEO who may buy a jet with it.

It is something every Christian ought to take the time and
think about, and whether their givings are promoting the
goodness of God or evil works of adultery and other things.
Yes, the two churches must be discerned. Personally, I do not
give to the wooden building churches. I rather promote God
through the Internet and eventually develop a Christian ethnic
farm community.

As to Israel: Ancient Israel consisted of genetic Hebrew
tribes. However, today there are no known Hebrew tribes or
Jews.

The people that live in modern Israel are not genetic Hebrew
people and they are not God's chosen people. Christians are the
Israel of God (Galatians 6:16). The government ought to give to
the body of Christ (the church) instead of the nation of
Israel, which mocks the son of God (Jesus Christ).
https://www.hesedken.com/apartheid/hebrew_apartheid_one_state_sollution.html The
nation of Israel is in a process of transition. We must not
take the international policeman stance toward Israel's
problems. George Washington recommended the USA to stay out of
international affairs. Great advice!

Modern Israel is a religious (anti-Christian) country and our
own government is not allowed to favor Christianity in all
things even in America, so we (reasonable people) sure don't
want to get into a mess aiding an opposing, religious country.
We must not be partakers of their curses for not believing in
Jesus the Christ, whom God sent. Concluding, we do not have a
government or a wooden building church that cares for us as
they should, but if we believe in the Lord, then we do have
someone who will. Amen.
