Just by that admission, though Prax, Zionism does not require religious adherence. And that means it robs the term JEW of its religious connotation and waters the term down from its spiritual significance.
You cannot call a Jew a Jew unless he/she is Judaic. That means there is no JEWISH state without adherence to Judaism. The point is that it is not what God intended. God intended the Jew to follow Him, and Zionism does not require that. It thereby robs the Jew of God and puts focus on the land when
Deut 30 said the land is their's if they follow Him and keep His law.
The Land was SOLELY for Israel in serving God. That is why I think there is forever turmoil there since they are not there for God under Moses' Law, let alone acceptance of Christ.
Deuteronomy 30:1-5 KJV And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee, (2) And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul; (3) That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee. (4) If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee: (5) And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.
