Mike Huckabee, the US ambassador to Israel, on churches that distance themselves from Israel:
I would say they are really approaching heresy.
First of all, if you move away from the connection to Israel, you are really moving away from what is written.
Because whether you look at Genesis 12, and at God's promise that whoever blesses Israel will be blessed, whoever curses Israel will be cursed.
Or if you look at what he said to Abraham, that the world will know the way of Abraham and his seed.
