Title: Vatican Recognizes State Of Palestine In New Treaty
Post by: Moss on May 13, 2015, 06:06:08 pm

VATICAN CITY (AP) -- The Vatican officially recognized the state of Palestine in a new treaty finalized Wednesday, immediately sparking Israeli ire and accusations that the move hurt peace prospects.

The treaty, which concerns the activities of the Catholic Church in Palestinian territory, is both deeply symbolic and makes explicit that the Holy See has switched its diplomatic recognition from the Palestine Liberation Organization to the state of Palestine.

     Philistines = in Hebrew pelistim

Are the Palestines the same as the Philistines?

Let me get this straight, the pope is giving away land that belongs to God and Israel to God's enemies,  by declaration.

What does God say that he's going to do with those who participate in dividing Jerusalem? I suggest Pope Francis read Joel 3.

This is one of the dangers that comes from replacement theology.
