There is danger in using any single verse of Scripture to defend any theological concept, (but it is far more dangerous to use one to defend one's politics, as I believe was happening here).

One needs to look at the whole of Scripture, and how one comes to Christ (through His calling and grace alone, and not through any human action), and it becomes very obvious that one human being cannot force Christ on another, nor one country on another.

Now if one is talking about forcing Judeo/Christian based political systems on other countries, that's another subject entirely. As is the subject of whether or not the United States is Christian at all any more......

The Saracens must suffer a level of destruction so great that they are convinced that Allah does not will that Islam shall prevail in this generation.



It may not take that much destruction to get their attention. Recall that Iran started a "mini war" with us, sending high speed boats out to shell tankers, sending their aircraft to spar with our fleet.

When they had an airliner take off from a military airport and fly towards one of our ships, and we shot it down, killing a bunch of civilians ... and the world did not condemn us for it ... they got the message and stopped their "mini war".

So noted, ohio. Indeed a monstrous issue regarding Christianity IS AND WAS raised when arthurus said Muslims must be forcibly converted to Christianity. I stopped right there to deal with that issue, upon which I was told that what Christianity is, is beside the point. Only what Islam is, is what matters. HUH??

It didn't happen with the sniveling RINO's in power either, which is why sniveling liberals are back in power today...

Sadly, we are NOT winning the war on terror. The American people just forfeited the war on terror by electing a congress that will stop funding the war on terror and make illegal, all of the tools needed to win that war...

We are not finished losing soldiers, but we are finished fighting this war in any serious fashion....

Wish there was a single reason to share your optimism.

I don't see the sameness in both parties except between RINOs and rats. All republicans are not RINOs just to be fair. I would imagine the mouthpieces of the RAT party (ABC,CBS,NBC,CNN, and NPR) had something to do with the re-emergence of liberals in congress.
