Subject: How do we open eyes to truth? |
Bible Note: 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 |
