Uh, interesting home page.

Turn the other cheek?

I lean more towards an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, cubed, in spades, times infinity.

They gave, in particular, of late, because "President" Clinton attacked Iraq with missiles and obviously (to the Mid-East "powers"), lost that war which he used to try and avert public attention from his Impeachment Trial in the U.S. Senate.

They gave because they quickly came to fear Saddam's effective victory in that "war," which lasted ... what ... 5 days?

They gave as tribute. Thank Bill and Hillary and all Clintonistas, here and abroad, such as in Cuba and North Korea ... and everywhere that the Clintonistas have made the evils of socialist power feel secure.

We must address this base of terrorism, which infrastructure was born in the former Soviet Union and East Germany; but which has continued under the auspices of socialists, socialist groups, and socialist states.

We cannot be "bi-partisan" with the political power which advocates the nourishment of the Nation of Terrorism. That is what constantly gnaws away at Israel, a country divided within, by its many socialists whose political views support the terror at its gates.

And are we going to stand up to London? They have been protecting mid-east terrorists for years and even refused to extradite those known to have planted bombs in various parts of the world, agreements or not. Sounds like nostalgia for the Old Empire. Ah! Afghanistan...one more time. Of course they want us to do the job. Funny how the article does not mention how the Brits are making a financial killing (no pun intended)of our misery at the moment...

Betty,

As Christians, we must heed Christ's DEMAND of us and turn the other cheek. Any attack on these terrorists is simply spitting in Jesus' face. Let us all bow our heads in prayer that Jesus' Will will be carried out. Amen


It's OK. You're not stupid, just a classic "disruptor". Moreover, you're undoubtedly a genuine "mental case".


A "gentle" suggestion, however. How about you exchange places with one of those Christian Missionaries recently captured by the Taliban, so YOU can "sign-up for the opportunity to be raped and slaughtered like the (non-moslem) Infidel Christian Dog-Whore you are ?


Hell, I'll even help you buy the plane ticket to Afghanistan.

And it ought to go a long way toward resolving their Chechnyan problem as well.

Gotta go thru Chechnya to get to Afghanistan. A buddy of mine said he heard an Indian reporter ask some US mucky-muck if we would be taking care of Pakistan while we were at it.

[Dosa26]

This is an excellent time to try to soothe the bad blood between Russia and NATOThis is my thought exactly. We have finally found a common enemy that both countries can agree is a threat. They train the chechan's and now they allow Bin Ladin to train the suicide pilots that attack us. If I had my tinfoil on I might even suspect a fsb connection, but it just makes too much sense the way it is. Bin Laden hates us, he threatened some thing would happen 3 weeks ago, he did it (most probably) and expressed happiness over the outcome (according to news reports).

Afganistan harbors him. Comrades may we sheik?

[mjf]

Whatever. Weak on terrorism? Well, now we find out.

Weak on a declaration of war? We haven't been before.

It's a united effort, although there are always some dissenters.

I think it is time to kick ass and take names!!!!

[HangThemHigh]

"Flatten Iraq and Afganistan."

Good start (can you spell carpet bombing?)
Next step, take the oil fields.

You are sick and pathetic. Go and defend your homosexuality on another board that cares. Thousands die and you redicule and mock Christ. Sick.

After being graduated from Duke University, I sold real estate for Harry Norman Realty in Atlanta, Georgia. After many successful years of showing multi-million dollar mansions in the dogwood speckled glens of Buckhead, I decided that I would rather live in opulence, instead of making it available to those less deserving. God called me out of pandering to the needs of the inexplicably wealthy and promised that if I devoted my fabulous business instincts to Him, I would one day never have to share a formal, Italianate living room, much less a German SUV, with someone more wealthy than I. Praise the Lord!

My, how quaint. Perhaps you can also devote some of your "fabulous business instincts" to raising funds for relief efforts directed towards the carnage in New York City and D.C.

Hi. My dear sister, I believe you need to read the Bible a little more carefully.

In the passage in Matthew where Jesus speaks of turning the other cheek, he is speaking to the Pharasees who twisted the Law of Moses to suit their own personal adgenda. In this case, they actually used the Mosaic Law to justify their own sinful acts of revenge. And they taught the people that this was what Moses taught.

Jesus was strongly attacking the false teachings of the Pharasees and the religious system they had put in place.

Jesus never said in this passage that justice should not be pursued. On the contray, justice is demanded. Also, as a follower of Christ, I have a duty to stand up against injustice. When injustice is being commited against innocent people it is my duty to intervene. Jesus never taught us to stand on the sidelines yelling at victims to turn the other cheek.

In addition, the Law of Moses (and Paul restates this in the New Testament) teaches that the State is empowed by God to administer justice.

Please do not confuse the concepts of speaking against scripture twisting and religion (as Jesus did) with the concepts of justice and revenge and self-defense. God bless you.

[mjf]

The 50 year war maybe?

Are we supposed to right all the wrongs in this world? Or are we just here to set one hell of an example of what is right?

Knock 'em down. Now.

Special forces, ready, go!

Leave no doubts.

"BettyBowers" is the one who is mocking God and spitting in Jesus' face, as her personal profile page demonstrates.

As individuals, we are to "turn the other cheek." meaning we are not to hold a grudge. But God gives government the authority to maintain order and Nations have the right to defend their citizens.

God did allow this terrible atrocity to occur as a wake-up call, and by His mercy he is giving us a chance to repent. At the same time, we must not allow the evil that perpetrated this attack to stand.

May God have mercy on us and bless us in this fight. May God bless our president and congress with great wisdom and courage.

FReegards,

[Syncro]

Sorry this country is fresh out of cheeks. We have turned all four. Thanks to clinton's legacy.

[Alpenkatze]

Let Nations like the Vatican turn the other cheek as Empires like the Hapsburgs fight on in their name.
