Bible Note: Hello charis, I invite you to read back over some of the responses to my message. And if by chance you do this...please do so with an open mind. I have been burnt at the stake here. Reported for posting my messages and told, "Arrivederchi, Coop1". Those messages have been restricted from the homepage and I have heard loud and clear..."we don't want to hear it". Why? Because I do not believe christians should uphold war, and took the time to explain...with scripture back up, why I felt that way. And yet, I was said to be the one who didn't want to hear another's veiw and was ranting about some political agenda. Their are many spiritual people out there who agreed with me however...and I thank God for them. I ask you to imagine God in heaven looking down upon us ripping at each others flesh and polluting His earth with smoke and fumes and noise and confusion...and His church accepting it and in some respects condoning it...without doing all they can do to end it and bring peace. We can pray and fast, we can speak up when the opportunity arises...we can take back our country and return it to God by getting involved in governing issues. We can nominate and elect those who profess God, and pray like crazy that we get more of God's people in office. We can vote "no" for issues that we know are against God. We can teach that war is wrong, show biblical evidence of it, and lead the way to victory. We can turn away from those who partake in blood shed, even if it is our own. And we can let our leaders know that we disapprove. We can go into the harvest fields with the breath of hope and faith and encouragement showing a new way to victory. A man cannot take his next breath with out the will of God. Why then would we need a weapon? Is not our God greater than the terrorist or the evil that drives them? Why NOT trust Him to do away with them and their evil agenda? All we need do is put on the armour of God, and that does not include any weapons of destruction. I am finished. May God bless All nations and peoples...coop1 |
