I hope everyone in America realizes that in order to beat these savages, we, too, will need to put aside some of our morality and meet savagery with savagery.
The Crusades are often referenced as a point in Christian history where Christians “didn’t act like Christians,” but instead they were reacting to the savagery that was the Muslim world at the time.
Even our forefathers, in dealing with the Barbary pirates noted how particularly vicious those “Musselmen” were.
Many of us would lose our souls, so to speak, by meeting their savagery with our own, but in my opinion, the only way to win against Islam is to beat it back with the same level of depravity to which they stoop. Think Vlad the Impaler sort of stuff. These are truly the times that try men’s souls.
I do not think that “our morality” includes laying down and dying versus fighting for our freedom. Therefore, it really is not our morality. The book of Joshua details the kind of warfare the Israelites had to engage in against the resistant Canaanites.
You, Sir, are nut-so. Count me out of selling my soul.
There is a saying to get rid of the lice you must kill the nits.
Yes it is a savage process, but when you are facing an enemy that is using that process, you must defend yourself in that same manner.
Having all of my brothers serve in the military I came to the conclusion that God calls us to delay the evil until the time that Satan is allowed to rule the world. People forget that the Messiah that Israel is waiting for (the believers anyway) is a Warrior, not a servant (anymore). Christians have to follow God’s will for them, whether it be to take up the sword or to die by the sword.
Which got me to thinking about politicians and rulers. I think the only people who should be elected to a DC job, judicial position, or President, should have to have served in the military infantry or taken care of the elderly, widows, or orphans. Jesus had to do it and so should they. No more community organizers.
Jesus was the fatherhead of his family after the death of Joseph. He knows what it is like to raise a family and die for His kingdom.
