q2q3 wrote: Out of curiosity, how do you justify God's sending of his people into Canaan slaughtering everything living in sight and taking over their homes land and all? Good question for someone who asks a lot of questions themselves. I do not have to justify my God, He is the Creator and for that reason His Word is the end of all contention. I'm a creature, so are you, You're not a computer are you?Romans 9:21-33 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? Read to the end of the New Testament book for the rest of the story and pray for light from He who just says Let there be light and there is. |

You can never find what your looking for when you need it, but I'll do my best. For any war to be just in God's eyes it to meet Scriptural criteria. Isaiah 2:22 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of ? I believe it was something like: 1. The nation must themselves be just 2. The cause of the war must be just. 3 The cost of the war must not bankrupt the people 4. Eludes me at the moment but I do know that the soldiers all need one mind, one undivided heart, an allegiance to King Jesus as such and a vowed allegiance to the war waging magistrate who is building up his real church on earth. According to Isaiah 49 22Thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people: and they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders. 23And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for meThe whole Book is a good read for a praying people. |

CJW wrote: "In a way, the poll examined the age-old philosophical dilemma: 'If God is good, why is there so much disaster, tragedy and pain in the world?'" - from the article. There is no dilemma. The reason there is so much disaster, tragedy and in pain in the world is... (Rom 5:12)" [QUOTE]True, so true. I read in a sermon last evening that there are two reason a Good God baptizes his New Testament people in the Holy Ghost and fire. 1. To separate them from the world and 2. to refine them. A win/win for the elect and a lose/lose for the rest. |

jpw wrote: questioning, I meant the goal of insolvency. jpw I recently read news from the Middle East commenting on Amercia's core goals and bad leadership. I thought that it was interesting they thought they knew them. I didn't. I suspected it was related to covetousness which is idolatry. You think the US desires insolvency? Maybe for the poor oppressed real Christians and there are not many left. But money is power and those in power need money to stay there. Even a one world order needs money to sustain it. Apparently somebody has some. |

In another related new article, elsewhere I read that Mr.Obama was cutting his South American visit short. He would not be able to visit the Mayan ruins (Mexico)as planned. I was wondering what was so pressing he needed to return. This?jpw you asked what does congress have to do with this - Might I suggest their desire for a job and a nation. God is still on the throne and according to Psalm 2:4-He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. |

USA wrote: "Do not forsake the gathering of the called out ones." Must this be face-to-face or may it be virtual? Many would argue that this forum, for example, is a gathering of the faithful. You have misquoted the Scripture, for your own purposes.Let me ask you a question. Called out of what? Face to face is to be preferred but when providencially hindered one might use other means to keep the Lord's exhortation given through his apostle. We have examples of the faithful in church history in prison cells using writing implements. Computers were/are not always available. Can one sin with a pen and paper? I would not argue that point, this morning heeding the words of Psalm 5:1-3 "Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation. Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up." I said to the Lord these (on this forum) are all 'asylum seekers' under attack by the world, the flesh and the devil. Some are more aware of the battle then others but all are in the fray. |
