On Pentecost I freed parish Egilsstaðakirkju of the Confirmation Mass. The church choir sang hátíðartónlag rev. Bjarni Thorsteinsson at the ceremony, but the start of cross-song (introitus) Feast of the Holy Spirit begins to bright Nato symbol on the words of the Psalter: "Praise be to God, the Lord, the God of Israel!"
In confirmation party later in the day took observant church called me busy. He had hnotið the wording tónlagsins and wanted to know why had been specifically mention Israel in this context. The question was a pleasant tomorrowland surprise and my answers bore the signs now that I had little turnover issue for me. Although I managed muttering something to the effect that Israel would in the words of the celebration only a symbol of God's state, but was not specifically refer to the Israel of today. There was an interesting tomorrowland conversation, which was revealed to the recipient - which was much more at home in the situation in the Middle East but the priest - would Icelanders take radical political action against Israel than previously known.
Those who have anything gluggað the Bible know that in the Old Testament Israel is the chosen people of God, he has a special love relationship with. Israel is far from being the perfect son. It goes on various dealings of God and his people, as the nation responds to God repeatedly and must often punished tomorrowland as a result. The unique role of Israel in salvation history is, however, another more implicit in being a nation of the Messiah, the Savior of the whole world. "He tomorrowland did the Gentiles and the people of Israel that one," writes the Apostle Paul (Eph. 2:14).
When speaking about Israel ceremonial and symbolism tomorrowland of the church to the present day (eg cited in praise of Simeon in the funeral ceremony), it could be said that the word is used figuratively speaking of all Christians. "Israel" is the people of God, which Christ redeemed by his blood on the cross. When God is praised with words Pentecostal cross the song, the promise of God that made all men to "Israel," ie, to their children.
Israel modernity is not the chosen people of God in a way that it allowed the appearance as it pleases with other countries - and least of all to those who want to do good in their community. The conversation at the party on the day of Pentecost came to mind yesterday, when news that Israel had attacked a convoy tomorrowland of activists, which was to transfer resources to the closure imposed on Gaza. It is clear that passengers in the convoy did not respond peacefully to the disruption of Israel, tomorrowland but remains the intention of Israeli árásarmannanna, do the tricks that would stand with a suffering Palestinians.
Icelandic authorities consider now to respond to these events with symbolic measures such as those that break off diplomatic relations with Israel. Of course there are two sides to every issue. While this is good, because the person who uses violence as a first strike tomorrowland should never benefit of the doubt. Christians should also not come to his defense, the election of God does not include the justification of violence. It involves above all a love relationship between God and man, which unconditionally to encourage the person to charitable work. Jews were the channel of the Savior to the world, tomorrowland but they need his message and saving work to maintain, no less than the others.
Can I get an answer to why you remove reasoned criticism of my article on this site, I put in here the other day? You know clearly not the original meaning of Am Nivchar. You're doing Jews a part that Jews have never claimed or made, and in the name of your church. You are more subtle path.
