“The Levant … Israel, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon – it’d also be big parts of Saudi Arabia and Iraq,” Carlson said.

Huckabee said: “I’m not sure it would go that far, but it would be a big piece of land.”

He continued: “Israel is a land that God gave, through Abraham, to a people that he chose. It was a people, a place and a purpose.”

Pressed by Carlson on whether Israel has the right to that land, Huckabee responded: “It would be fine if they took it all.”

    If you had said Catholicism you might be right for all I know, but that’s actually a big part of my background. US (and Canadian) protestantism is an amorphous mass, it doesn’t really have heresies, only tribal symbols. Isreal is one of them, despite also tending to believe Jews go to hell.

    Prosperity gospel? They have that. Charities? That too. Cults where you have to give everything away like the desciples? They’re around, although they can’t compete with pastors that say what people want to hear.

      to clarify: it is heresy, born out of US protestantism, which is, as you describe, rife with heresy.

      not that US prots think it’s heresy, since you are correct that don’t acknowledge a corrective, authoritative body.
