In this episode, Brian Newman, executive director of the Isaac Ishmael initiative, shares his unique perspective on the Israel-Gaza conflict, exploring its historical roots, theological implications, and the role of faith in pursuing peace.Historical Context of the Conflict:Brian Newman provides a historical overview of the Israel-Gaza conflict, tracing its origins back to the mid-19th century with the rise of nationalism in Europe and the subsequent Zionist movement led by Theodor Herzl, which sought a homeland for the Jewish people. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the complex history that has shaped the current state of affairs in the region.Theological Perspectives and the Land:Newman discusses the conflation of biblical Israel with the modern state of Israel, highlighting the differences between religious claims to the land and the secular nature of the current Israeli state. He challenges listeners to consider whether the nation of Israel today can be equated with the biblical promises made to the Jewish people.Dispensationalism and Modern Implications:The podcast delves into the concept of dispensationalism, a Christian theological framework that influences many evangelical Christians' views on Israel's right to the land. Newman explains how this belief system impacts the political and religious dynamics of the conflict.Jesus' Role in Peacebuilding:As a pastor and follower of Jesus, Newman shares his theological approach to the conflict, emphasizing the need to invite Jesus into the conversation and the potential of his teachings to foster peace. He argues that the radical and revolutionary message of Jesus offers a path towards reconciliation that is often missing in the approaches of both Judaism and Islam as practiced in the region.Religion as a Facet of the Conflict:While acknowledging the deep religious significance of Jerusalem to all three Abrahamic faiths, Newman suggests that religion often serves as a smokescreen for the political, social, and military aspects of the conflict. He calls for a deeper understanding of the ways in which religious narratives are intertwined with and sometimes overshadowed by the geopolitical struggle.LinksChristmas Sermon by Rev.

J’s rebellion, R’s immaturity and harshness, even the civil war that would follow. This foreknowledge in no way takes away our responsibility.As with Isaac & Ishmael, Jacob & Esau, so with R and J—Judah and Israel—God was still sovereign and worked his mysterious will. That God is working through events never vindicates evil nor even condones compromise.There are extremes to be avoided in leadership.

1Corinthians 10:16 This cup of blessing which we bless…the communion of the blood of ChristThe good thing about an empty cup is that it can be filled. We can have three cups and pour water over all of them. One is filled and the others are not. Why? One is turned upside down and one is filled up with so much matter that it cannot receive water. It is about being willing to receive, being emptied of what doesn’t matter, and always willing, always receiving. The supply does not stop, just our receiving, or being filled up with other matters. Ephesians 5:18 … be (being) filled with the Spirit…Acts 4:31 After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly. Luke 11:13 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”There are many doctrines concerning the Holy Spirit (The baptism, anointing, intercession). We do not need more doctrines of the Holy Spirit, we just need more of the Holy Spirit. God wants us to receive the Spiritual blessings and they have already been given.Ephesians 1:3 All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ. Compare the blessings to Jacob and Esau. They represent to two sides of us, our Jacob self and our Esau self. They each wanted different types of blessings. Jacob felt empty until he reached out hungrily for the heavenly blessing. Esau reached out hungrily also, but for a worldly blessing. Jacob was filled and ended up walking with a limp, to remind him of his struggle to go through anything and to wrestle with everything, even God, to receive the blessing. (Isaac/Ishmael, David/Saul, Jesus/Adam.People cannot relieve the stress of the emptiness of their lives by focusing on emptiness and seeking to fill it with things to have, or things to do, or things to know, but only by having the emptiness filled up with God Himself in the fullness of His Spirit.How do we deal with evil in the world around us - can we eradicate it? No, we simply do not focus on the evil but we fill our world with the presence of God and his goodness. In a similar way, the experience of salvation is not the absence of sin in us but the presence of God. Light removes darkness. In the same way problems and difficult circumstances exist and are always with us. But they do not dominate our inner being. He does not always take our problems away but gives us the Emmanuel answer. How does this make the problems lose their power over us? They simply have to move over because we are not focussing upon them but upon a reality, the greatest reality – the Emmanuel reality. Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world. We cannot have our focussed attention on the two arenas of activity at the one time. It is from the place of realized Emmanuel presence that we receive wisdom to address the problems with faith and not with fear or unbridled imagination. Romans 15:13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. The empty cup
In this episode Jordan continues through Romans 9 and discusses Paul’s usage of the story of Isaac and Ishmael. Why does Paul bring up this story? What is he using these Old Testament figures to illustrate? How do they further his argument that God has chosen faith in Christ over works as the way to receive salvation? This episode answers those questions. Romans 9 is not primarily exalting “God’s sovereignty” but rather is exalting “God’s sovereignty IN CHRIST.” Though this may seem like a trivial distinction, it makes all the difference in accurately understanding the Spirit’s revelation in Romans 9.

The Arab/Israel conflict, or the Isaac/Ishmael conflict, goes back many centuries. It goes back to a family squabble between two half brothers, both of them son's of Abraham. It is a fight over what is sometimes called the Holy Land or the Promised Land. It is called the land of Canaan in the Bible, and today some call it Palestine.

Comics Therapy. No Reviews. Just Analysis.One comic from April 22, 2015. Yup, you read that right: just one.Show Notes:Welcome to A Very Special Episode of Comics Therapy. This week we’re looking at some of the themes of identity brought up in All New X-Men, as well as their implications for representation in comics as a whole. We've never deliberately spent an entire show discussing a single book, but sometimes things happen in the world that we can’t ignore, and the existing plan goes out the window. Consider this our Isaac & Ishmael, hopefully with slightly less pretension, but with many of the same intentions. All New X-Men #40 16:30
Abram & Sarai decided to take matters into their own hands and it hasn't turned out so well in the 4000 years since! The results are still raging between those who descended from Isaac & Ishmael. However our battle is not against flesh and blood but a spiritual one.
In this broadcast you will learn: 1. Why God changed Abram to Abraham. 2. Abraham was given the TITLE DEED to Canaan land. 3. God chose Isaac over Ishmael
The Bible described Ishmael as a Wild man. His hand will be against everyone and everyone will be against him. Also learn how is going to be towards his brethren.
The Conflict with Muslims against Jews goes back to Ismael and Isaac. Sadly, many Christians are not aware of this Biblical fact. Let's get to the bottom of it.
