just a thought . . . a modest proposal . . .
I'd hate to get horribly off-topic here, but... the funny thing is, the Bible I read tells me that whether a person is liberal or conservative, a Muslim or a Christian, a Republican or a Democrat...Jew or Gentile...I should show him or her the love of Christ...ESPECIALLY in a time of need/suffering/loss.
THAT is an "authentic" Christian attitude IMHO, and it applies whether the rapture happens or not.
I CERTAINLY
AGREE WITH YOU 1,000% about showing Love to one and all . . .
feeding one’s enemies is pretty loving . . . and I’ve done a fair amount of that in my time, by His Grace and command.
HOWEVER, IN CERTAIN CONTEXTS, I’d also have no trouble being the God placed authority that ‘took em out’ . . . such as a war situation or bashing down the door to hurt my family etc.
