I strongly disagree. We are to be light in the darkness. Celebrating the darkness is not the way. October 31 is Reformation Day. We should celebrate the light. We are to be a contrast to the World; not a cheap imitation of the World:

[15] Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
Another day older and deeper in debt.

I like it.
Do you ask that question to put me in a category so you can categorically dismiss my arguments? Is that an ad hominem argument? I prefer to focus on the issue at hand. Please don't take offense. I've worked as an attorney in litigation for decades and I've come to view argument as an essential tool to find the truth. It's basically the Socratic Method. It's been employed as a means of seeking the truth for thousands of years but I have found that it isn't very efficient if the interlocutors go off on tangents and don't stay focused on the issue at hand. We don't seem to be making much headway on the land grant issue. How about I just say, "Bless You Brother" and give it a rest for now?
Do that by sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ.
How can we obtain a copy?
Here's the point: [Jesus *is* Israel](https://www.ligonier.org/learn/devotionals/jesus-true-israelhttps://www.ligonier.org/learn/devotionals/jesus-true-israel).
Don't put words in my mouth. I see that you are acquainted with the strawman. I never stated, or even implied, that the promises were only about the land. As I recall, I started this conversation with a post about the land grant and it is my impression that you have introduced an assortment of other issues into the mix. Is that because there is no clear scriptual obviation of the land grant as it is clearly stated? You seem to treat the entire OT as an allegory in order to get around the plain meaning of the words. Do you think that the words were incorrectly translated, that eternal does not mean eternal? That the Jews were disciplined for a time by removal from the land does not obviate the land grant just as God's discipline of Christians does not obviate their salvation or their title to real estate in the New Jerusalem. God's gifts are irrevocable. Do you think there is a translation error in Romans 11, that irrevocable means revocable? Yes, the Jews were disciplined for a time but the Scriptures prophesied that they would be regathered in a particular parcel of real estate and indeed they have been.
I can't respect lies. Only the truth sets you free.

I've seen this too many times before. Hamas picks a fight it can't win and then retreats and hides behinr women and children and all the world calls a cease fire so Hamas can lick it's wounds only to repeat the whole process some time in the future.
There's no refutation of the clear wording of the perpetual land grant in Scripture. You construe metaphors too broadly in an effort to erase it and you don't deal satisfactorily with Romans 11 which makes a clear distinction between the root and branches. Furthermore, God is the judge of the worth of his promises not us but I would point out that land possession is very important when the rest of the world has proven too often that it would love to kill you. In fact, Scripture condemns the generation that would not enter the promised land. Do you think all that "kill everything that breathes" in Joshua was just metaphor? Paul says in Romans 11 that the gifts of God are irrevocable but you argue that God has revoked his gift of land to the Jews.
