Tribtrooper: You wholly misconstrue the post made: which is relating what the RCC's study paper (i.e. Christian Evangelicals' "use of Sacred Scripture..." ) for its ME assembly teaches; which, quite correct, is NOT what The Bible teaches - as you make very clear without citing actual passages. This is yet another demonstration of RCC's failure, and signal it is, to adhere to the teaching of Scripture Alone, auguring grave consequences for all, including ME Christians. Thus to attack as "toxic" the one body of Bible-believing Christians who faithfully not only spearheaded in the 19c-20c the Restoration of the Jews to their Biblical homeland, but also have stood with Israel and the Jewish People in their decades-long seething cauldron of Islamic animosity, sends a very clear signal that in the final analysis the RCC will opt for its own self-interests: which are both a Replacement theology AND, therefore, Replacement geography, and thereby offer up "occupied" Israel, if not Israel as a whole, as the sacrificial lamb.less

What a strange alignment - Evangelical Christians and radical Islam: must be their respective "use" of their respective "Books" that warrants this unholy alliance; albeit Jerusalem is not mentioned even once in the Koran, but 935 in The Book of all books - the same Jerusalem that Islam and the Vatican would divide!less
