www.whyisrael.org

This website is intended as a tool to encourage, stimulate and equip
Christians world-wide to gain a better Biblical understanding of God's
purposes with Israel, the Church and the nations.

The website is intended to be interdenominational. The editors encourage
contributions by all members of the one body of Christ, regardless of
denomination or Church affiliation.

The website, and all contributions submitted for publication, is governed
by the following guidelines:

1. The Bible is respected as the infallible and inspired Word of God. In
 these Holy Scriptures, God reveals Himself and His creative and redemptive
 acts in His Son, Jesus Christ, from the beginning of the world to its
 completion. The Bible speaks with absolute authority, both in terms of
 salvation and in terms of the prophecies regarding the redemption of
 Israel, the Church and the nations.
2. The Bible reveals a number of basic truths regarding Israel and the
 Jewish people, including the following:
o the Church has a unique calling; it has not replaced Israel
o the Gentiles have been grafted into the true olive tree, of which the
 nation of Israel is the natural branch
o God promised to Abraham that all nations would be blessed through - or in
 - him
o God has promised to bring the Jewish people back to the land which He
 promised to Abraham as an everlasting possession
o the return of the Jewish people which we witness today is fulfilment of
 Biblical prophecy
o the return of the Jewish people to the land is a necessary step in the
 preparation for the coming of Messiah and the establishment of God's
 kingdom.
3. The website is not a forum for engaging in discussion or controversy
 regarding matters such as eschatology, Christology, ecclesiology, salvation
 or the like, except to the extent necessary to promote the purposes of the
 site. It basically is an exchange of thoughts in a respectful way to
 further insights in these matters.
4. The website is not a forum for evangelisation to the Jewish people.
5. All contributions must be written in a language of respect, unity and
 brotherhood. The purpose of the site is to build the body of Christ, not
 divide it. All the different parts of the body need each other. None of us
 has the absolute truth. Only the Scriptures have absolute truth and
 authority. While pursuing our common goals we recognise and rejoice in each
 other's unique giftings and callings. "In essentials unity, in non-
 essentials liberty, in all things charity".
6. Contributions must reflect a spirit of humility. It is not the purpose
 of the site to dictate to the Church or to other Christians. Where other
 Christian persons or organizations are referred to, this must be done with
 respect and in a spirit of love. The site is not a forum for attacking or
 condemning other persons, organizations or institutions.
7. As far as possible and appropriate, statements or opinions should be
 based on the Bible.
8. All contributions will respect the intellectual property of others.
 Contributions derived from other publications will only be published with
 permission, or where appropriate with the necessary acknowledgements.
9. Christians for Israel International and the editors reserve the right
 without consultation to reject contributions submitted for publication on
 the site, to remove them from the website, or to propose amendments.
10. The website and all material published on the website is the property
 of Christians for Israel International.
11. Articles or other contributions published on www.whyisrael.org express
 the views of the individual authors/contributors. They do not necessarily
 reflect the views of the editors or Christians for Israel International.
 The publication of articles or advertisements on www.whyisrael.org does not
