151. Christians MAY be Trusted
shirley kotsanos ,   Reynoldsburg. USA   (08.12.07)
David, shame on you for saying that Christians cannot be trusted! I am a Christian who LOVES Israel and the Jewish people, and have for 50 years or so!! I would love to sell all I have and take up residence in Israel, and love, and be loved by all the Jewish people there! I cried as a child when Hitler exterminated so many INNOCENT Jews, who were guilty for nothing more than to love their GOD!! So please do not say that Christians are wolves in sheep's clothing!! All the Christians, true Christians, that I know love the Jewish people, and pray that they are left at peace to worship the ONE and ONLY GOD!!!
152. Israel
Chris Aman ,   Surrey, Canada   (08.12.07)
Are you displaying the Holy Spirit in your advice to fight? Do you think that God is to small to exacute His devine plan?Read the Srciptures and pray that God through Jesus has a time table that is very near to the sound of the trumpet. No! the answer isn't in mans hands.Listen to the Lord and only He will bring peace to man. Pray for the Lords peace. Amen
153. Hagge
Frank Carver ,   Detroit, MI   (08.16.07)
First of all- let me state I am a christian. Second let me show you where most of you are wrong. As a christian the main importance is the new covenant. Jesus is the new covenant, not Moses or the old testament. How often did you see Jesus promote violence? He said to turn the other cheek! Not back up a fraudelent war against a country that was never an enemy to us. War is sin! And being behind war that is illegal to begin with is then a sin. Jesus did not come down out of a cloud and speak to Hagge and tell this is the holy war. Revelation will happen when GOD wants it to...man can not play GOD. It does not matter what man does or says or anything. I would like to question everyones Christianity who states that they are behind this war. I dont care if you pray 23.5 hours out of every single day. You, my friends and brothers and sisters, are severely misled by whoever is guiding you. These are men of violence and "no murderers will inherit the kingdom of heaven." And, remember also that many who come in the name of Jesus are not true disciples of Jesus, but rather the opposite. Dont be fooled by a big ministry, etc. Many have alternative motives my friends....seek God in a small church and listen to a pastor who speaks of loving your brother and lets you know what sin is. Not just one or the other. Amen, Frank
154. What the Bible Says About War
Rob ,   New York   (08.17.07)
What The Bible Says About War 12 Biblical Rules of Engagement in The Just War There is such a thing as a just war. Sin in the world and the unwillingness of evil peoples to live peaceably with those around them oftentimes oppressing and victimizing vulnerable people makes a just war to stop them a necessity. War is a horrible thing (see Psalm 79:3; Jeremiah 7:33; 15:3; 16:4; 34:20). But if peace and justice cannot be established by peaceful means, a just war is the alternative. The Bible does give guidelines for a just war and they are as follows. 1. Pray for guidance in a just war. Prayer is a declaration of dependence upon God and in the tension between attempting to avoid war as much as possible and also not appeasing foolishly an aggressor to try and maintain peace, God's wisdom and direction is indispensable. God's wisdom is obtained through prayer (2 Samuel 5:17-19). 2. Those fighting a just war should depend on God's resources, not just their own earthly resources. The resources of God are far more important than any earthly resources. For instance, God's angels are far mightier than any human soldier and He will send them to help when we fight in a just war (2 Chronicles 32:8; Psalm 3; 4:8; 35:1-7; Isaiah 37:36). 3. Always keep in mind that earthly wars have spiritual elements. Paul was inspired to write that our primary battle is not against flesh and blood people but against Satan and his minions and we should fight it as such (Ephesians 6:10-18). 4. As much as is possible, overcome evil with good. Even though military force is sometimes needed, mercy and goodness is to be shown to enemies as much as possible (2 Samuel 9:1-8; Psalm 35:11-16; Proverbs 25:21-22; Matthew 5:43-48; Luke 6:27-36; Romans 12:14,20-21). 5. Don't war vengefully but leave revenge in the hands of God. A heart of revenge can lead to atrocities in war. Those fighting a just war must release any thought of revenge to the Lord. Who better to dish out justice rightly than the Just One of the universe? (Romans 12:19-20; 1 Thessalonians 1:6-7). 6. Don't take pleasure in the demise or pain of your enemy. Even though the elimination of a ruthless enemy is sought, we should never take pleasure in the pain of another no matter how evil. Taking pleasure in the pain experienced by an enemy displeases God (Proverbs 24:17-18). 7. Understand there are those who will refuse peaceful means of reconciliation or problem resolution. Some refuse diplomacy (Palm 120:6-7). 8. Understand there are ruthless and evil entities in the world. These need to be dealt with for they destroy the peace and victimize the helpless at every turn (Psalm 41:5; 54:3; Ezekiel 36:5-7). 9. Those who persist in evil and refuse to live at peace are to be firmly dealt with in the Lord. We are not to sit back and do nothing or continually appease those who do evil (Psalm 109). We are not to be naive or pacifistic. 10. Allow the enemy to undermine and defeat himself if possible. Dictators and tyrants are often destroyed from within. Wait for this and facilitate it if you can (Psalm 57:6). 11. Forgive enemies once they are defeated. Jesus said, "Forgive them Father for they know not what they do." Stephen said, "Lord, do not charge them with this sin." We should treat enemies as God has treated us for we were enemies of God before coming to Christ and He forgave us (Luke 23:34; Acts 7:60; Colossians 1:21-23). 12. Fear God more than the enemy. This will motivate those fighting a just war to fight it according to God's rules and not their own (Matthew 10:28).

155. Pres. Bush
Carolee McNatt ,   Vancouver, Wa. USA   (09.05.07)
I've always liked Pres. Bush, but lately he seems to be "cowarding - out" and I don't know why? He never seemed to be a coward before, what has happened? We ABSOLITELY have to back our Jewish families and giving land for peace is ridiculous...history shows that! I keep praying that God will open Bush's ears to hear His ( God's) voice.
156. John Hagee
Susan in the USA ,   USA   (08.29.11)
I'd just like to say that people like Hagee and yes, myself as well, stand up for Israel because God has instilled a fervent love for Israel and His people, the Jews, WE are NOT the enemy..neither does the traitor Obama speak on America's behalf..he is a despot to my country and will be so happy when he, whom I believe is Islamic -gets out of our oval office.This man is an anti-christ. One more thing please - and that is there exists ONLY ONE who can save Israel - one of His names is "Redeemer" another is Adonai, El Shaddai,,,He is everything that is worth anything to a sinner saved by His Grace... As always my prayers are for Israel and for the Peace of Jerusalem, Shalom....
