There are two ways of viewing God. One is the religion of the soil, and the other is the religion of revelation. In one, God is a local, tribal deity, stuck in place. In the other is a God who is everywhere, for everyone, and who is not trapped by geography. Which God do you worship?

Are the dying children of Gaza to blame for something? Many Christians say yes, because their nation refuses to support Israel. Is this true?

Today, it is said that about 14,000 children have been killed in Israel's genocide in Gaza, prompted by the events of October 7 last year. Children, it seems, are the ones who suffer around the world, innocent victims of family strife, national neglect and war. The Christians who say that God is on the side of Israel say that it was Abraham who was told that any nation to bless Abraham will be blessed, and any nation which curses Abraham will be cursed. They, are, of course, wrong, but this whole tragic story begins when two boys are born to one man, and this man fails in his duties to his wives, and to his children, and today, this family continues to endure the suffering of the children.

Are the Palestinian people cursed by God? For many Evangelical, Protestant American Christians, the answer is yes, for according to Genesis 12, all nations must bless Israel or be cursed by God.

We are free, to stand with whomever we want, but the Bible nowhere prevents us from standing for children, women, and the victims of war. The promises of God do not contradict his character.
