Yea yea give me spin around, try to explain yourself away... it won't work... No I haven't come to any conclusions (about islam whatnot, I know what it is all about being raised in it) and certainly I haven't come to conclusions about any person and what they are talking about... I tried to tell you about your built-in feature and that you don't have to parrot your natural thought process results...
Truly a brilliant one you are.
Thanks.
But what's better is you tell me to "hush." That is the funniest thing i have ever read.
Obviously you also adapted the sense of humor of islam which is backwards...
YOUR religion doesnt hold anyone, and it doesnt need to, and it actually doesnt. Most people remain in the religion they are because.... blah blah blah... But be careful, it may shake ur faith.
Jesus has the answers to everything, Bible has the answers to everything. I may not have the answers right away, but no challenge of yours will shake my faith. We told you we don't have a religion... It is pointless talking to a wall.
agreed, i came to the wrong conclusion. However, I was correct in that you did copy and paste it from somewhere, I could tell that, but i am not surprised they were your own words. If i may give a brief desc of your paper: "A Christian's View On the Efficacy and Duty of Serving in the Armed Forces"? Sound good?
I am impressed... All I could ever hope is you shutting up when you think (if you can think) it is the wrong conclusion. By this way you wouldn't be parroting "all" of your conclusions but only those you think correct... I copied from my .doc file so what? No it doesn't sound good, it has nothing to do with it... Here is another paper on the topic but it is not my own...
1. Firstly the Bible says nothing against a soldier killing during war but the Bible does say that thou shall not murder. Murder is killing someone unlawfully with the intention of killing someone. Murder is a big difference from killing someone accidently or in self defense or in a war.
2. Secondly none of the prophets nor Jesus or His followers spoke against the vocation of being a soldier. The first followers of Jesus were centurions and soldiers and even they were not instructed to leave their vocation.
3. Thirdly the only verse in the Bible that Jesus spoke against taking arms is Mat 26:52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. However this should not be understood as one cannot be a soldier and fight in a war but against the attitude that one who trust in taking arms will themselves perish with the very same approach in which they trust their life upon. Kind of like outlaws who believe that having and handling a gun will keep them alive and prosperous but history has proven otherwise.
Therefore there is nothing wrong for a Christian to be a soldier. But as for killing, we look at the motive of why the soldier killed. If they are doing it outside their duty then they are not abding to the task that they are entrusted with. Paul states that clearly in Romans 13:3-4
Rom 13:3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
Rom 13:4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
Therefore for example when the US took arms against the Nazis or the Japs or Gadaffi or the Al-Qaeda, they are executing wrath upon those that do evil. What would happen to the women and children of Europe or Asia or the Mid-East if the US refused to intervene? Look at the Killing Fields in Cambodia when the US pulled out of Vietnam and Cambodia. Personally I find it ironic that the so called peace advocates who demanded that the US pull out of Vietnam never criticised with the same amout of tenacity when Pol Pot killed his hundred of thousands in Cambodia.
But note again, Christians in the military can do a world of good both as peacekeepers and to the people they are liberating. I personally know of a great number of testimonies of Christian soldiers that have brought out the goodness of God's people out from the insanities of war. From the dropping of handkerchiefs filled with chocolates by the USAF airmen to the starving and deprived children of EAST Berlin after WW2 to the prayers of British soldiers for the repentance of Hitlers top advisors during the Nuremberg trials (which some did repent). These are Christian soldiers, not bent on bloodshed but giving their lives so others might live and come to repentance.
Therefore it is absurd to say - show me where in the Bible where it permits killing. For there is none be it permit or otherwise. Because the act of killing must first be defined. Is it Murder then the Bible clearly says no, if it's war then Romans 13:4 states we are subject to God's agent of authority. Unless of course if that authority is of an evil source then we do not associate with it.
ahh, ur humor and wit knows no bounds, but we don't move our heads side to side or back and forth, it stays in one place when we pray and is a sign of humility.
Learn about your islamic sects and come back... And what does it matter if you move or don't move, you are cleaning the floors thinking your showing your humility to something you don't even know.
And there is biblical evidence that every prophet, including Jesus prayed the same way.
Another widely-spread islamic lie... I wonder why it is not in the Bible... Oh wait a minute, Bible was changed by men... Sure why not...
And I don't think I am going to waste my time, rereading the writings of someone justifying going to war with a twisted take on the bible.
If you don't think it is worth your time, you'd better shut your hole because without reading it, you are asking stupid questions and I won't be answering them. I don't have a religion, furthermore I am sure Osama is proud of having you sickheads ready to die for the cause of allah.
Then why did he tell them to do it. He obviously needed for them to do it otherwise he wouldnt have told them right.
he actually had other people going around doing the killing
Man this is getting ridiculous, show me the verse where Jesus ordered people around to do HIS killing.
Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. Mat 26:52 Is that how he orders do the killing? You have confused Him with your muhammad.
Might, its pretty easy tough guy, just go sign up. I am sure you will either be behind a desk or on the front lines.
You are sure? You are sure about many things you don't even know if they are true... I say you have a defect in that built-in feature you have.
ok, well ths is an easy one. There are no WMD,... blah blah blah
Do you have all these theories in your "Top Secret" folder?
Because I am not seeing any official statements or documents proving your opinions and the rumors you believe.
If it were 1400 years ago i might have joined in, but today is today soldier boy, and i have morals,... more blah blah
I can see that your kind hasn't changed a bit in 1400 years so why do try to spin around the statement... Today or 1400 years ago. Still same walnut-size brained muslims, behind the age as always...
But you don't even know what the word Mullah means, so we'll just leave it at that.
I know what mullah I know what imam and all that crap means... you are forgetting that I was raised in a muslim country and again coming to your built-in conclusions. But I must say, if the machine has a defect since it's manufactured from its factory, I am not suprised to see all these built-in results.
Yeah, i have read it and studied it extensively. Interestingly, the book of revelations was not included ... blah blah blah
So? If you had studied, you would have known the answer to the original question you asked... spin it around...
Ok, so tell me what it is
Now I will give you the spin around, you were a "so-called" Christian who supposedly studied the bible. Find your own answer. Look in Ephesians. I gave you the starting point. Also it is in my article. Waste of your time? Like I care.
Not my leader, and yes Osama is an idiot,
I was calling you an "idiot", monkey brain! How did you miss that?
My tax money goes to alot of places and my military is being used right now to pretty much fight only muslim places. And on top of that,... blah blah blah
And how do you know that Iraqis or "someone else" are fighting against the US right now? Were you there? Carry on reading your islamic scholars and their take on the US.
When it was the US who gave and sold Saddam the technology and chemicals to make the weapons to kill his own people.
And where did you get that gem of information? Throughout the years you worked for DOD or the years you grew your fat-@$$ sitting in front of a computer?
Kareem Abdul Jabbar is a beautiful name, but its funny that you think it offends me.
