36. Q&R #4: Israel and a Christian Response, Part 1

Christianity began as a Jewish sect, but its relationship to Judaism since then has been rocky to say the least. As we enter the sixth month of the Israel-Hamas War, Christians find themselves at odds with each other in their stances on the issue. Within the pages of the Bible, we encounter narratives where God commands the utter destruction of Israel's adversaries. Can we assume these ancient sentiments persist today, or do our scriptures convey a different message? Join us over the next two weeks as we reassess both the historical and biblical sides of this discourse. In this week's episode, we lay the foundation for the conflict by digging into the history of Israel and Palestine, exploring their dual claims to the land. Next week, we'll cover some biblical perspectives and offer a Christian response to the modern nation of Israel and to the ongoing war with Hamas. There's a lot to unpack here that you won't want to miss!
