Dear Tim, I read your Comment to "Who gave United States the right to judge unrighteousness?" You quote Romans 13:1-5: The taliban has his own Authority, if you mentioned that U.S. given authority by God it is the same as Afganistan. Please consider that they are Moslims, thier teaching are very different from us Christian. Bad for us could be good for them. Suicide for a Christian is a mortal sin, but for moslims, suicide and kill the enemies could make them Holy. Let consider if we are taught moslims or we are moslims. In our own perspectives as Christians what we saw in twin towers is very brutal or what strongest term could it be. But do we know what is in the heart of those Hijacker? Killing someone is a terrible things, but killing someone including youselves is very fanatic! Some can do it because of faith! Those Hijackers maybe taught that U.S. is an enemy of Islam, it is the mission that gave them of ALLAH! Did you consider that courage? Killing enemies including themeselves in the Glory of Allah! Maybe because of wrong teaching those Hijackers performed a terrible descisions for thier life. They maybe hope that because of what they Did they serve ALLAH! becuase of different teaching? (Maybe) Bin Ladin has his own reason why he attack U.S. you should saw them in International Television. 1.They consider U.S. as enemy of Islam. 2.War Iraq vs. Iran U.S. help Iran. too many civilian dies. 3.Afganistan vs. Russia U.S. support Afganistan because they are against Russia. (Now Russia helping U.S.) maybe with thier own vested interest 3.Kuwait v.s. Iraq, do you think U.S. will help kuwait without its own vested interest? U.S. want to stop Saddam because it is a big treat to US economy and peace. The really big reason is US help kuwait because they know that Saudi will pay for the Cost. US can kill saddam or arrested Him, why they dont? because there will be no treat in the Arabia, and American will out from there, big income will bo lost. 4. Moslims consider Israel as an Mortal enemy, US keep protecting or supporting Israel why? Israel has own big companies in the US, they are investors, they are a big help in the U.S. economy. 5.Taliban, would like to negotiate, US refuse why? Because Afganistan is just a uneducated and oppressed country. The US know they can easily strike afgan and defeat it. I dont think if some other Superpowers like China holding Bin Ladin US still want to do wars against them. When that airplane collided in China US apologize why? China is a big nation to fight, aside from that it has a big business relationship with US. Who is really rightous? Those are points that I dont want to think, it is sometimes bother my faith. I pray that God somehow justify those hijackers of why they do that kind of terrorist attack. God knows what really in thier heart. God knows the heart of that Hijackers of what is the reason why they done that? it could be because of faith or because of truly wrongdoings. I pray that God gave me the same courage what the Hijackers has. I will use that courage not to kill people but to performed a true Christian life in serving God, I dont have that kind of courage yet, that I ready to die just because of faith, and I pray for that kind of courage. God bless, Johnny |

Greetings Johnny! My point in using Rom. 13:1-5 was to address the question of who gave any nation the right to use force to punish people. Rom. 13:1-5 clearly states that this authority comes from God. Now, can nations misuse that authority? Yes, they can! If they do, they will be judged by God. Concerning Bin Laden and his motivations, they are simply thugs. They aren't courageous. They kill innocent civilians. Where is he now that the military is after him? Hiding in some hole somewhere, that's where! If he really believes that he is doing all of this for Allah, he should be out there on the front lines with the rest of the cannon fodder. Concerning your points: 1) The United States has fought for Islamic countries, so we definitely aren't their enemy! 2) Aren't both Iran and Iraq Islamic countries? How does helping one over the other make us an enemy of Islam? 3) I don't understand this point at all. If the US hadn't helped Afganistan, the Russians may have defeated them. Why we helped isn't really the issue! We helped! 4) Israel is the only democracy in that part of the world. I don't think we help them enough. They have been putting up with terroism for years and the rest of the world has said, "Be patient!" Now that terrorism has hit us, the rest of the world is concerned about their safety. 5) The Taliban wants to remain in power. They had the opportunity to turn over Bin Laden and they didn't. They made their choice! Concerning China, obviously we don't want a war with them. But, I don't think we would back down from one if it were forced upon us. We apoligized for the mutual loss of life in the incident your referred to, we never claimed responsibilty. Their jet caused the accident! Finally, I hope that you can find better examples of courage and faith than a bunch of ruthless killers! Let's put their actions into perspective. Let's say that I was upset at the Taliban for their policies toward Israel. Does that give me the right to go put bombs in all of their public schools (if they had any) and kill 6,000 children? Would that be brave? Would that be justified? I don't think so! Instead, we had a problem with the Taliban because they were supporting the people who attacked us. We gave them a choice - turn him over or we will remove you from power. They refused, so we have attacked the Taliban, not their children or their civilians. Watch the news Johnny! Even the Afghans are celebrating every defeat of the Taliban. In fact, it is the Afghans themselves who are fighting the Taliban - with our helps of course. Everyone seems to forget that the Taliban is not a democratically elected government. They are a bunch of religious fanantics who came into Afghanistan and took over. Most of the terroists are from other countries. They are the invaders! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Dear Tim, Thanks for the answer. I dont really mentioned that thier action are right. But I mean is if that hijackers do those things becuase of Religion, or they done that because of service to Allah, I still find that courage, but I mentioned maybe with the wrong teaching! I also mention "IF" they mayvbe do that as purely terrosrist attack, or maybe the taught or they believed that attack could make them Holy. So if I have that kind of courage, that I am ready to die because of my faith, I am be very thankful if I have that kind of faith not to kill people but to serve God. I made that example by thier courage being ready to die not because they kill too many innocent, but thier courage to be ready to die. (IF it is because of faith and not because of Money). You also not answer my points regarding the help of US to Kuwait, About the being treat of Iraq to the US, and about the payment of the Saudi. About the China, we know it is in thier Territory, if the News is true, the americans is there to a survilance because the Military of China is too strong right now, it could be the same of what happen to Saddam it could be a treat to the US. I am not hate Americans or whosoever, just the news. Concerning Bin Ladin Im not with Him also, I am a peace lover. He maybe hiding because he is the leader of his group! He is the one planning how to survive to this US attack, it is the same that you dont want your president to go to afganistan to find Bin Ladin himself. I believed Tim, if the Bible is true these wars will more worsen. I am not happy with wars, but as Jesus Christ mentioned it has to be happened as a sign of His second coming. God bless, Johnny |
