As a Christian, I am called to be an &amp;quot;ambassador&amp;quot; for Christ. That involves not being an actual citizen of the host nation (in this case, the world, which includes every nation). As a Christian we give up our nationhood, although of course, we still have to abide (live) here, for the time being. So to be &amp;quot;in the world, but not of the world&amp;quot; is what we are called as Christians to be. That means, the shed blood of Jesus covers us as we die for Him, whether by injustice or natural deaths, Jesus is for us so who can be against us?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no such thing as a &amp;quot;Christian nation&amp;quot;. Being a Canadian, you probably see the foolishness of my nation (U.S.A.) claiming to be a &amp;quot;Christian nation&amp;quot;. Well, the fact stands that all nations, including Israel, are antiChrist. That doesn&amp;#39;t mean that I don&amp;#39;t see that God has a plan for Israel. I do pray for her TRUE peace...and that peace can only come from a converted life in Jesus...and if it means to die a martyr&amp;#39;s death, all the better, for to live is Christ (persecution) and to die is gain.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/868768294910675606/2962608767002632630/comments/default/7632557420588903086'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/868768294910675606/2962608767002632630/comments/default/7632557420588903086'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.debbiehaughlandchan.com/2011/04/why-i-support-israel.html?showComment=1305128405228#c7632557420588903086' title=''/><author><name>Susan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00498627087140234765</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VsBA2Z-6YTU/TYomkzOVkPI/AAAAAAAAACs/iwVXAiXs7YA/s220/butterfly.yellow.black2.jpg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.debbiehaughlandchan.com/2011/04/why-i-support-israel.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-868768294910675606.post-2962608767002632630' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/868768294910675606/posts/default/2962608767002632630' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-898168670'/></entry></feed>
