When did the doctrine of Zionism enter "Christian" theology? From my reading this doctrine was "invented" in the late 1700's or early 1800's. Where do you find this doctrine before this in Christian writings? Everyone thinks he has the right to invent "new" interpretations of the scriptures, which is why we have over 35000 Protestant groups who all cliam to know what the bible says and can quote texts left and right to prove their intrepretation. (I once had an instructor in college who had heard a sermon in the '40's proving that rubber tires would be rationed during WWII.) The scriptures say that there should be "no private interpretation of scripture" which is the opposite of "corporate intrepretation". Zionism or the land of ancient Isral permeantly belongs to the Jewish nation is a modern invention (and therefore PRIVATE Interpretation) and such a doctrine is not found in the first 8 centuries. The early Christians believed that they were Israel and many of them lived in the land of ancient Isreal. The current nation of Israel continues to persecute indiginous Christians. Read the ancient writings of the Church (not Rome) and learn the history of the Church before 1000 AD and find the common ancient teaching of the Christian Church. Thanks jeb

Who is Israel according to the New Testament? The True Israel is the Church --not a nation state. It is the church who is the inheritor of the promises to Israel. Christians are the true descendents of Abraham. Read the NT. Sometimes to me the current state of Israel acts toward the palestian Christians and Moslems like the Nazi's did to the Jews. The Nation of Israel persecutes the indiginous Christians.
