True that.

I suppose, at the very least, it puts them on a level above the muslims. They at least aren’t looking for retaliation, but leaving room for God to deal with it.

He says, *Vengeance is mine, I will repay.*

Sometimes better to leave them in God’s hands than demand they answer to us.

Sometimes that taking the high road works. Sometimes it doesnt...like in Japan.

Genocide is genocide. One cannot exist if one permits one’s group to be exterminated. To not act in this situaion is to exterminate Christianity.

Sometimes I think that Whites and Christians have a brain parasite that causes them to run to the predator. Like Toxoplasmosis with mice and cats.

Awhile ago are pastor was talking about forgiveness. That it is a one-side deal - like Jesus on the cross forgiving the people. He also said that forgiving someone also doesn’t mean that you give them a get-out-of-jail free card. Justice must also be served if possible (like if they catch the bombers or the group in this case). But - that we can continue to forgive them and serve them in prison.

In other sermons he has talked about the use of force to stop someone in the act of doing something against you or others. Also a “Christian” thing to do.

I’m not sure about the whole forgiving somebody for what they did to others with those others being dead now. But the pastor can speak for himself, and it sounds as though his congregation (and victims relatives?) were behind the statement?
