Bible Note: I know that satan has been given power over the earth. But as the anti christ, he will be in a position of government leadership-literally. I do not in any way consider the young men and women "evil" because of their place in the military. However, from the many comments that I have heard from government leaders and ctizens alike...there are those who DO take pleasure in this war! As for "karma", I do not even believe in such a thing. To me, this is a term used mostly in occult type converstaion. You are misunderstanding every statement I have made. These men are victims so to speak...however, they are victims of satan. "For if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world has blinded them which believe not, lest the image of God, should shine unto them. For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus, as Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus sake." (2Corinthians 4:3-5) Many are blinded by satan. Again I stress...this is a spiritual war, not with flesh and blood! Sit back and do nothing? I don't think so! We must do all we can do to win this spiritual battle. We win it by DOING God's word, so as to get our heartfelt prayers answered. We do it by praying for laborers, now that the field is ready for harvest. We do it by laboring ourselves and offering all we have to God. We are called to Do the word of God so as not to decieve ourselves. God created ALL men...including the terrorist. We are made in His image and to physically harm one another, is making a big intrusion on God's most prized creation...man. And I do not blame God...rather I understand that these things must take place so that the Kingdom can come. And I do understand that His will must be done...so that He can deliver all the promises set before us of peace eternally. There for I say..God's will be done. Any sacrafice that we make for Jesus sake, will one day be greatly rewarded...even so, we are called to sacrafice. Jesus set the example...He did not lift a finger toward the madmen, psychopaths that beat Him and hung Him on the cross! Rather, He prayed for them...which distinguishs us from the heathen. God sacraficed His only Son for us...and some of us will be called to sacrafice ours for Him...in this, we count our suffering for Christ sake, blessing. coop1 |
