My point is that I don't understand what you mean.

As I understand your thinking, if Jews (or Muslims, as in the case of Turkey) are killed, it means that they had this coming because they didn't accept Jesus. If Maronite Christians are killed in Lebanon (there is another string going on right now about jihad against Lebanese Christians), or Coptic Christians are oppressed in Egypt, or palestinian Christians are thrown out of Jesus' birthplace of Bethlehem, or Assyrian Christians are oppressed in Iraq, this is somehow irrelevant.

What's your answer to Islamist terrorism? Ignore it, because those who have accepted Jesus are not going to be harmed?

I think that your religious beliefs, however sincerely you hold them, are not the answer to Islamist murder.

I also don't understand what your religious beliefs have to do with President Bush's policies toward Israel? By the way, he is a practicing Christian, and he seems to have a true love and admiration for Israel (except when he is selling it down the river). How do you explain that, BriarBey?

ok..this is what I think, hope I can make it sound right. I believe that Believers (some call them christians) are the sons of Issac. I believe muslims are the sons of Ishmael. BOTH were told they would be great nations. I believe people get lost and deceived and this is just the way it is, you can't wipe wickedness off the face of the earth. I believe we should fight for freedom and to see people free but they should also learn to fight for themselves. The sons of Ishmael have always loved fighting and wars from the start. That is what they do. As for people getting killed, no one has it coming for any reason, this is life, WE DIE, there are bad people who just don't care about the value of life, and they take it or we just keel over from old age....death is death, you can't stop it.
My Faith and my Hope is in God's blood sacrifice for me. I believe what he said, I believe in the gift he gave me, eternal life. Doesn't mean I have more privileges here or I do or don't deserve to die, I am just going to die. But you won't keep me down, I'll just wait. ALL you are seeing is the playing out of HUMAN nature devoid of the spirit of the living God. We are not puppets we have a freedom to do as we please and that is pretty much what we are doing.
Pres. Bush is doing what his denomination has taught him to do and that is defend Israel, according to church doctrine, protecting Israel will bring blessings..........ok.....what if all our protection doesn't make that happen. Did God actually say that the way we thought he did or was it a ploy by religion to protect something God cursed a long time ago. I Don't know....I have lots of questions, and sometimes we just have to watch it play out to know the truth of it. I don't even profess to have all the answers, I just have faith thay my Father will never leave me nor forsake me.......dead or alive. He never has thus far.
