1 | How do we open eyes to truth? | Deut 7:2 | Morant61 | 24413 | ||
Greetings Coop1! So, your saying that it is always wrong to kill! Therefore, God commanded people to do evil! I don't buy it! But, you have to the right to believe what you want! But, you are dead wrong comparing the terorrists and the US of A. We are targeting people who intiated a war with us. We didn't just lob a bomb into a public school! They attacked us! They will continue to attack us if someone doesn't stop them! What if they got their hands on a nuke? If there was not difference between us and them, we would have simply erased the entire country! You make it sound like America is evil in and of itself. There are wicked people, but there are also good people as well. There are things which need changed, but there are also many good things as well. I just don't share your dim view of our country. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

2 | How do we open eyes to truth? | Deut 7:2 | coop1 | 24427 | ||
Like you said, we all have the right to our opinion, and I am trying to respect yours also. I guess we are truly at an impass, with little left to be said. I do not believe we are the nation God intended for us to be and we have become an evil nation. I believe there are "good people" in all the world. And for their sake, the terrible things to come will be shortened. But I do not see a distinguishable difference between our countries sins and that of other nations. To the contrary, we are worse because we have been blessed all the more, and have turned on our blessings. "To he who knows it is sin, it is sin". I still contend that our loyalties are better rested in our adopted family, the family of God. It wouldn't be the first time God called His own away from their earthly family. It is not unbiblical to turn away from your own country for God, ya' know? Our patriotism is admirable to a point, but when it goes beyond God's word...it becomes sin like anything else. Just another god for people to focus on. Another means for the enemy to pull us away from where our focus should be. It almost seems to me that America has a new god...itself. Where our faith, hope and strength now seem to rest. Thanksgiving just passed. The pilgrams, new to this land...rested their whole trust in God to pull them through...to cause rain, to cause bountiful crops, to heal the sick, to protect them from dangers. That is our roots...what our nation was born out of. Child like faith. Why should it be differnt now? In my opinion, America will not go unpunished. For our sins, she will suffer greatly I believe. Why can't we just own up to our sins and mistakes? Why can't we just turn back to our roots and give it all back to God? Aren't we suppose to remove the log from our own eye before we remove the stick from our brothers eye? The terrorist killed 6000 Americans on september 11, 2001. Americans kill thousands of innocent Americans every day through abortion. And thousands more Americans daily via street murders, robberies and rape. And still yet thousands more through greed, capitalism, oppression, drugs, poverty and social unrest. How can we judge any one with a track record like that...before at least having the courage to step up and say..."well, we been mess'n up! Let's get back to the basics, put God back into our hearts, our schools, our government and our lives." Then and only then...we will be able to stand justified, able to issue true justice. Only thing is...then, we would not have to defend ourselves, cause Almighty God would be doing it for us! coop1 |
