Splitting the Evangelicals from Israel
A new strategy seems to be emerging that seeks to weaken American support for Israel.

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
I wrote about this here. You won't like it.

Yehudit:
Thanks so much for the link. I don't focus on theology, rather on behavior. Getting into dialogue about "faith," with anyone is for me, just endless, usually fruitless, and subject to bottomless interpretations.

LOL!
Well, let's hope that never happens. We have enough enemies as it is.
