A Biblical Perspective on the Israel-Hamas War

A Biblical Perspective on the Israel-Hamas War

Listen as Pastor/Dr. David Murphy answers these and many more questions from a Biblical perspective:

When you are quoting Scripture, can that be throwing-words at someone? I once had someone tell me that when I was sharing verses with them.

Pastor, I know that the people of the nation of Israel are God's chosen people. I know that God has promised them to have the land of Israel and area much larger than they control right now. I love and support the people of Israel. I know that some of Israel's enemies use innocent people as "human shields" and fight "dirty". With this current war in Israel and the Gaza Strip, how can a Christian best support Israel but not blindly endorse possible wrongs that Israel may do toward innocent people?

If someone is able to broker peace between Israel and the Arabs, specifically Hamas, are they the anti-Christ?

In the Bible, God told Israel to commit "war crimes" in battle, do they still have God's blessing to fight battles this way? After all they have to defend themselves against an enemy that is using even worse tactics.
