In man's court, to be declared innocent, you must plead innocent. In God's court, to be declared innocent, you must plead guilty.
God has mercy on who he will have mercy, compassion on whom he will have compassion. Political power will NEVER change that.
But you, and others of similar persuasion, will go through your life in fear of losing political power, never realizing that it is God who promotes one, and demotes another. Your priorities seem to be out of phase with God's priorities. I said out of whack earlier, which is the same thing.
I appreciate the theological ramifications and all, but most of us choose to deal with earthly forces. I'm guessing from your response that you think that war is unnecessary. God will demote the bad guy.
I guess we'll just disagree. In my experience, it's necessary to use the skills God gave us to win. And that includes thinking.
