I go to a protestant denominational church that consistently avoids making political statements and does not explicitly endorse political positions.
So, I was surprised when today’s sermon was announced as part one of a three part series on “Israel” that included textually debunking the idea there is a biblical basis for sending tax dollars or military support to the modern political nation of Israel. The pastor took the main verses people cite and explained why it’s a mistaken interpretation. He established that the “Israel” established as a nation in 1948 is not the “Israel” of the Old Testament. He defined dispensationalism and explained why it both inaccurate and a modern theological fad, one which we do not subscribe to. On the present and future of this Israel, he said “The political nation of Israel may come and go, it has before…”
I found this to be surprising and noteworthy. I would call my church a medium size, uncontroversial, family heavy, buttoned up, affluent church. Just a report from the normie Christianity front

The debunking of ‘dispensationalism’ is going to cause one of the largest swings in Christian religious belief and political opinion ever. Some 50 million American Christians have been tricked into believing lies based on fraudulent readings of the Bible, including fraudulent rewritings of scripture. ABN
