...the US military has been prohibited from helping the local Christians by the administrations of both Bush and Obama. Two years ago, the distribution of Bibles was banned in Iraq, and even the sale to the military of assault weapons with Bible verses on them was stopped. In Egypt, the new authorities helped and financed by the Obama administration and supported internationally by Hillary Clinton, encouraged pogroms against the traditional Christian minority in the country, the Copts. It seems that one of the main strategic goals for the US military presence in the Middle East is the eradication of traditional Christianity there. Which also gives us some foresight of one of the possible outcomes of a war with Iran and the occupation of Iranian territory. Iran has a large Christian minority which, while under oppression, is left relatively alone by the authorities. If Afghanistan and Iraq can teach us anything, a US military invasion will only lead to its extermination. Thats what so many evangelical voters who vote for neo-conservative war-mongers refuse to even consider. The conversion of a Kuwaiti prince is important news. It is shameful that the American church is not there with its missionaries to complete the task but supports the war drums banging of the liberal-progressive government in Washington DC.
The problem is that we live in very different times now. Other than for the domestic issues, a Ron Paul just does not work for America.
A sign that the good news of the Gospel of Jesus is going now to the four corners of the earth. Praise God.
But I have read that the Christian community in Israel is growing, because the Christians fleeing the Arab countries are going to there as well as the west.
Did not the Bible say that you are blessed if you blessed Israel?
Well it took a Reagan to liberate Eastern Europe.
Yep. And whoever curses Israel, God will curse. You do not want to be on God’s bad side, and we’re pushing it as a nation anyway.
