I feel very old and I know not how long I have to live so I'm in a hurry. At the moment I'm attempting to understand the history of the "creation of the state of Israel" and I came across the following.

I have a son in law of 51 years of age who is dying of Motor Neuron Disease. He is an active and committed Christian. With all the pain and worry he is experiencing he is helping me in a re- introduction to Christianity. During my studies I felt obliged to look for help in answering the...
