Methodists To Mull Divestment From Israel

Submitted by JoJean, Jan 27, 2008 22:17

One more event in the chain leading to apostasy and a one world religion. Apparently the Fear of the Lord has left these people and along with it WISDOM. They need to read His Word which states that Israel is the apple of His eye and that He blesses those that bless the Hebrews and curses those who don't. Zechariah 2:8 Genesis 12:3
