That's quite a gift to people who hate us?
Ge 16:12.

 

Response to comment [from a "Christian"]: "Let's cancel everyone's debt and have a nice clean slate."

 

Let's run that by China.

 

"I think we have ways to persuade China."

 

Get right on it ....Meanwhile, in the real world.

 

Response to comment [from other]: "Who hates us?"

 

You're a Brit, aren't you? Your use of "cheers" gave it away--new best friend.

 

"Nope. I was born, raised and still live in Wisconsin. --cheers"

 

Oh.

They hate you too then, I'm sorry to say. We are the great Satan. By all means, let's buy their love.

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "Saying a whole nation of modern people "hate" the US, and then citing a biblical text written a few thousand years before the US was founded, as "evidence' is borderline psychotic."

 

When they tell you that they hate you they are lying? Ge 12:16.

 

"Who's "they"""

 

Descendants of Ishmael.

And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren [Gen. 16:11–12].

"Have you looked at this verse in light of about four thousand years of history in the Middle East? What is going on out there today? The descendants of Ishmael are wild men—that has been the story of those Bedouin tribes of the desert down through the centuries, and it is a fulfillment of the prophecy that God gave. They will tell you that they are sons of Abraham, but they are also sons of Ishmael. They are related to Abraham through Ishmael."
McGee, J. Vernon: Thru the Bible Commentary. electronic ed. Nashville : Thomas Nelson, 1997, c1981, S. 1:ix-71

16:12 a wild man … against every man. "The untameable desert onager (wild donkey) best described the fiercely aggressive and independent nature Ishmael would exhibit, along with his Arabic descendants."
MacArthur, John Jr: The MacArthur Study Bible. electronic ed. Nashville : Word Pub., 1997, c1997, S. Ge 16:12
