I want to quickly share a few videos and sermons that have come to my attention since I wrote the last article. It is my opinion that theologians would best address questions that were raised in that article about the nature of God. Some of the following links address this question. I’ve also included related videos. There is one criticizing Zionism and the latest pro-Palestinian protest. Also included is a Christian service from St. Peter’s Basilica and a video of Royal Hours for the Nativity of Our Lord from the Holy Resurrection Orthodox Church in North Dakota. Happy Christmas 2023.

I would also like to share a Bible verse from Bishop Barron that is an important addition to the article Political Zionism is an Anachronism. That article related that Hebrew nationalism was made extinct after a Babylonian monarch, Nebuchadnezzar, destroyed the Jewish state. As a result, the Hebrew religion changed. It came to worship a God who was no longer tribal and confined to a specific territory. Now God was universal and concerned for all mankind. The experience of exile and the new understanding of God that accompanied the exiles cut the bond between religion and nationality.

The verse from Bishop Barron is Hebrews 13:14. I’ll share verses 9 through 14.

Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats; which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.

We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.

For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.

Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.

Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.

For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.
Hebrews 13: 9-14
