I've often wondered that myself. Why not arm them so they can at least die fighting, rather than being slaughtered like animals?
The Bible predicted over 2,000 years ago that Christians would be vilified and defiled and slaughtered for their faith and belief in Jesus Christ. What we are seeing is merely more proof of the Bible's perfect Truth as God's infallible Word.
It's only a matter of thime before it happens here, too. Chritians are already defiled and vilified for our faith right here in the good ole U S of A.
Why not arm them? Because Chritians are taught in the Bible that we will be hated and even killed by the world, and to not only expect it, but to embrace it. It is our way of sharing in Christ's sacrifice on the cross.
If someone tries to kill me or my family for our possessions, I have a Biblical right to defend myself and my family. If someone tries to kill me for my faith, I am to submit willingly in the precious Name of Jesus, and in His Blood. Christians only die from this life into eternal life with Christ. Muslims (and Atehists) die to an eternity in Hell. Death for a Christian is birth into life with Jesus.
That's why, Lesser_Satan. True Christians in America are no less Christian than those in Africa or anywhere else. We're just a little less persecuted... so far.
