Political Failures

As an American, The Constitution supports freedom of religion. Allowing me to learn about Christianity taught me to Love God, who taught love one another. My comment wasn't referencing my love for my country, which I do; that is a political statement. Loving God from a Christian perspective is not to be confused. God understands the impossibility "to be" in our world without sinning. God sent his Son to die for us and, Jesus taught submission, as we submit to God's word. God is blameless for our hatred of one another. And the consequences we face by our free will. Again my post was a Christian view not, political and, we are having difficulty dividing the two. Christians submit to the Lord's ways. My suggestion wasn't to send the Military to teach God's word. An oxymoron is sending in the Military to enforce submission to the Word of God.

Is it time to play Actual Quotes From The Bible?

It's been a while.

Reading the Bible is an excellent idea. God Bless your journey.

"Hosea 9:11-16 Hosea prays for God’s intervention. “Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer. Give them, 0 Lord: what wilt thou give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts. . .Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.” Clearly Hosea desires that the people of Ephraim can no longer have children. God of course obeys by making all their unborn children miscarry. Is not terminating a pregnancy unnaturally “abortion”?

Numbers 5:11-21 The description of a bizarre, brutal and abusive ritual to be performed on a wife SUSPECTED of adultery. This is considered to be an induced abortion to rid a woman of another man’s child.

Numbers 31:17 (Moses) “Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every women that hath known man by lying with him.” In other words: women that might be pregnant, which clearly is abortion for the fetus.

Hosea 13:16 God promises to dash to pieces the infants of Samaria and the “their women with child shall be ripped up”. Once again this god kills the unborn, including their pregnant mothers."

What was that you were saying about love?

Bible study may comfort your confusion. Your meaning is out of context. The verse relates to a Nation and Restoration.
The name Hosea means "salvation." It comes from the same Hebrew root (hoshea) as the names Joshua and Jesus.
B. Israel's unfaithfulness and a promise of restoration.
1. (Hos 1:2) The command to take a prostitute as a wife.
When the LORD began to speak by Hosea, the LORD said to Hosea: "Go, take yourself a wife of harlotry and children of harlotry, for the land has committed great harlotry by departing from the LORD."
a. The LORD said to Hosea: God's first word to Hosea was something for his own life. This is how God almost always works. Hosea probably would have preferred it if God gave him a word for someone else. But before the prophet can speak to the nation, he first has to hear from God for himself.
b. Go take yourself a wife of harlotry: The word God had for Hosea wasn't easy. Hosea was told to take a prostitute for a wife. Why? Because the land has committed great harlotry by departing from the LORD. Please reach out to clergy for further comment. You will be provided with a better Biblical understanding. Take Care and Blessings.

Ahahahahaha!

Wait, you're serious?

Controlling the narrative about the Love of Christ is confusion about Christianity and is an example of fear to submit to the Lord.

Sorry for the deletion I repeated the same remarks. Not tech-savvy. It's been a while.

You can be first in line to go to Afghanistan and preach your beliefs. Good Luck.

... what do think the the Bible would have done in Afghanistan???

Ask those that found Jesus. Maybe, less would be persecuted as more converted.

You think the rate of religious tension reduces as the rate of conversion to Christianity increases?

OK, let's test that theory with just about every example in history at all in the last 2000 years..... aaaaaaaaaaaand...

.... the verdict is "Oh f**k no!"

You are correct. Read about Alexander the Great in Afghanistan. It did not work well for him. We should have realized the hostile environment. Amen to those preaching the gospel. Souls are eternal Military conflict is neolithic. President Trump understood how to promote peace as freedom. We now lost our vision.
Romans 5:10
For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

Alexander the Great was WAY before Jesus! By some margin!!

Alexander married a local princess and that still didn't help calm the restive province. It had been trouble for Iran too when it was part of that.

Your point? Two thousand years ago was your guideline. And Jesus was before Mohammad, known as peace be upon them. How did that work for the Muslims against the Taliban? The Taliban is a political party not, a religious denomination. Again political beliefs are invasive.

What the hell is YOUR point in all this gibberish?

Would you like a coloring book and crayons to spell this out for you?

It's nice that you're offering to share. 🙂

No probz, I'm always helpful when it comes to assisting the historically illiterate.

Maybe one day, you'll be able to offer to share your crayons without the caveat that your erroneous opinions are included.

Baby steps.

Lookatchu go with the Crayolas. Fine display of your refinined 'abilties'

Wait a minute, is this you trying to trick me into slipping into that secret now dormant other me with my ol' refrain of how I deal in facts, not pull opinions wrapped in faux smug out of the amazingly huge spewer of nitrogen injected feelz known as your bunghole? Well aren't you a clever one. Have Twinkie.

Would YOU require a GPS to go with them crayons?

But hey, Dobbsy, we both know you'll just disappear on me as you always do when it comes to refutin' time, so let's say we cut to the point, as muh bed time is about to beckon.

k, I get the feeling you're almost sorta kinda practically trying to pretend you're actually nearly attempting to make some sort of quasi-ish point, other than cringe white knighting the y'allster, sooooooooooooooooooooooooo......... un, what is it?

"Loving God from a Christian perspective is not to be confused."

So, this sentence by the op makes perfect sense to you but what I've said doesn't?

I merely expressed surprise that Jesus had been found, he's the internationally-recognized champion of Hide-and-Go-Seek, an important spiritual bedrock of the Christian faith.

What. on. this. planetary. plane. are. you. going. on. about?

That's literally discombobulatng ye olde Straw Man way past its own definition.

Are you feeling well?

Perfectly, thanks.

Wait, what was Jesus doing in Afghanistan?!

Right?

The context of my post is to discuss political intentions that are not motivated by the love of people. The biblical context of persecution was always politically motivated. Sidetracking the issue isn't my interest.

Fair enough, I'd just have assumed him being found was a pretty big deal and I hadn't heard anyone else mention it; I am neither a Christian nor a theologian though, so I wouldn't really know.

You haven't heard the origin of the orgin of the Savior?

Christianity has far greater connections to Iran than it does to Judea.

origin*

I wasn't talking about the origin, I was talking about the present; for a moment, I thought someone had won Hide and go seek.

Is that why I was the one who used the word? Or do I require a notarized statement from you giving me permish?
