Do the jaded Freepers jeering here represent to you "the example of Jesus, God, all the Prophets, and the Apostles?"
You speak for all of the authority that has ever influenced Judeo Christian thought, yet, you fail to acknowledge the horror of allowing people to die under malicious dictatorship. Instead you excuse the moral failures of South Korea - and by extension the US - on purely political grounds.
You argue that because God could end poverty and did not people of conscience should sit on their hands and do nothing?
The moral tone in much of the Freeper state is given over to politics. I could not be more dismayed.
Some of us have a problem with this thing called "false witness."
By the way, nothing is stopping you from stepping away from your keyboard, moving to South Korea or China near the NK border, getting a job teaching English, and then working surrepticiously to smuggle freedom tracts and Bibles into NK and spirit people out. Should be pretty easy, right?
But maybe you can do more good staying glued to your keyboard telling others what to do.
God went so far as to wipe out whole cities with fire who didn't follow Him and instructed His own people to wipe out whole races of people. He even tells the whole world that if we do not follow Him, He will send us to Hell!
You speak to me about the "horror of allowing people to die under malicious dictatorship." What of the entire example of God and Christ under the very contexts of which you speak? You are 180 degrees out of phase with the Bible.
I do not (and am not allowed to) excuse anyone's moral failings. However, I can identify what is a moral failing and for whom is actually at fault, unlike you in your words to date.
I am not responsible for your sins before God. Likewise, South Korea's people are not responsible for the sins of North Korea's people or government.
Death will happen, regardless of what you profess Sought Korea should be doing.
You seem to believe it is more important before God to some attempt to stop death than to convert people who are able to hear the Word, to God.
God allows millions to die around the world every week. Should we do any and everything to help someone survive a bit longer? The answer is a simple, "No". It was placed before us as the example of Christ and God throughout all of time. He did not make everyone survive in a similar light.
If you have a problem with my words, you must truly have a problem with God.
Life is less important than being with Him. Not all will be with Him, unfortunately.
God did not compromise with those cultures he eradicated. Neither should we. Instead, we need to offer an example and be willing to be there under circumstances in which our belief is not compromised. What don't you understand about that?
On multiple occasions during the Clinton regieme, N Korea was brought back from the brink of annihilation from starvation by US charity. N Korea has never been thankful, but instead has been busy building nuclear weaponry. IMHO, God might be performing his own methods of discipline on N Korea and our interference might only entice our own destruction.
Individual believers who seek Him are not denied grace and charity, but those who meddle between God and enemies of His plan are foolish.
