To a degree every one has a bias whether conscious or subconscious . You could make the same argument from a different angles and perspectives as well. You could make the argument that America is racist and favors the lighter skinned people back in the middle east, and that we don't care about the people slaughtered in Africa or of different religions.
Why stop there, you could make the argument that Americans have a bias toward democracys and that our shallow exceptiionalism doesn't understand how these other cultures are superior to our way of life and that we should change our ways and adapt and accept, embrace,,,, say sharia law.
Of course you do understand that the other side just wants to destroy Israel, wouldn't this to create your rapture?
It doesn't quit make sense that we would as Christians deliberately stall or delay our lords coming.
So rather than Christians protecting Israel for their rapture it must be anti Christians delaying or ruining the true Christians rapture.
Of course it all makes sense.
Muslims are helping the Christians by trying to start the rapture, but the anti Christians have them tricked into protecting Israel so it can never happen.
Couple of things... Hare your are no professor. Definitely not a theologian. I would argue you haven't opened your Binle in a while based on your attempts at explaining Rapture.
First off there is not a single reference in any Bible about a "rapture". It simply isn't there and never has been. The idea comes from a verse in Revelation referring to a "taking up" which can be translated by some as meaning the word rapture.
Second... The idea of Rapture is being misrepresented. NO ONE can cause a rapture or help speed along the idea of a rapture. Those ideas are not Biblical.
Now the idea of rapture there are two basic thoughts:
Post-Tribulation which simply means the "taking" up or rapture happens after God is completed with the Tribulation Period (if you don't know what that is get off the tread and read Bookk of Daniel and Revelation. Those books are viewed as the two most prophetic books concerning these topics). The other Pre-Tribulation and is the most common. The obvious prefix of PRE refers to God/Jesus/Holy Spirit removes all current believers (those whom have accepted him into their heart and confessing by mouth. Look up John 14:6) before he begins the Tribulation Period.
So Muslims can try to fast track but the are only human. BW can put senseless and idiotic attachments won't change the Truth. Hare can say whatever.
These are sad attempts people... Go to school or even better read the Good Book. Better yet get the App. It's free and very informative. Oh and BW stop Googling and posting attachments.
Oh Hare I have to ask. What the hell are non-colored middle Easterners. You mean Jews right?
You see people US History lesson now. We have always backed Isreal cause we have always since the Pilgrams hit Plymouth Rock been a JUDEO/CHRISTIAN society. The Bible calls for all believers to stand with Isreal and you will be blessed. Until now our country hasn't.
