I know you see me as incrediably evil..nothing I can do about that.."Judge not lest you be judged " I guess or "unless you walk a mile in another shoes..."

I see those pictures as an attempt by the government to manipulate the feelings of people and to downplay the real cause of the war..This will do double duty because it will also help build public sentiment toward a division of Jerusalam..This is not christian charity this is political propaganda..

I have no problem feeding anyone that needs it..but why here and why now? You know the answer to that..if you read the links I posted you also know that Muslim men are out in force taking the packets meant for the women and children..

It is not wisdom to feed your enemy..scripture is not addressing National enemies..it is addressing personal ones..personal charity..not governmental...apolitical where there is no personal benefit to the giver.

Ask yourself why the Muslims in this link are not getting badly need food

Muslim starvation

The answer is there is no political payoff.....when there is a benefit to the giver it is not charity

This is a war..it is sad that people will die..but that is what happens in war..is this a just war? I don't know,but it is still war.

I have children in the military..this is very personal to me..I remember Nam where American soldiers offered chocolate to children..and the children blew our loving kids up with granades...

Think what you will of me Thomas..

No I don't. Just in error about what the scriptures teach us.

nothing I can do about that

Yes you can. Stop seeing yourself as the final arbiter of the meaning of the scripture and listen to what your Christian brothers and sisters are saying.

I see those pictures ...This is not christian charity ...

Now who's judging?

I have no problem feeding anyone that needs it..but why here and why now?

A New Covenant obligation as a Christian. Figure it out.

It is not wisdom to feed your enemy

No, its Love. The love of Christ.

scripture is not addressing National enemies..it is addressing personal ones..personal charity..not governmental

Here you go again pontificating. National or personal doesn't matter. You seem to be conveniently interpreting scripture to fit your needs. It's subjective exegesis. I forget the theological term, but basicly its putting meaning into the scriptures that is not there. BTW, who do you think the government is. It's people. Thank God that the grand majority of Americans disagree with you on this. In fact, I haven't seen many on these threads that agree with you.

Think what you will of me Thomas

I think you've stepped in it, Mom, and don't know how to get out of it. HINT. Humble thyself in the sight of the Lord.
