On the other hand, dont you think that believing in Jesus returing to Israel can have negative consequences?
Cause it completly ignores the fact that the state of Israel was created as a safe harbor for the jews, and not to provide a nation in case of the return of Jesus.
I'm afraid I may still be missing your point.
The return of Christ can only be a good thing, because it will result in the total reversal of all our problems (compare Genesis 2-3 with Rev 21-22).
Also I knew that the intentions for establishing Israel were nothing to do with religion- but I don't see how that helps your case at all? That God works through totally oblivious men only encourages my belief... it also defeats the point if people said 'we'll restore Israel just to fulfil prophecy', don't you think?
I'm kinda busy and don't have much time for these forums, so if you respond to this post, don't expect me to reply immediately- but I will try to get back to you sometime.
