Killing Children-- Horrible or Justified?

This past week is verification that evil is rampant in the world today. The shooting of little children and adults by an individual who dressed as the personification of the Evil Joker shows us how far we have slide down the road of immorality.  I listen to the “talking heads” who tell us how horrible this action is, and then in the next news segment, they support the preemptive air strike of Iran, not caring that many little children will be killed.  Where is the sense in all this?

This attitude is no more than a repeat of the Iraq War.  If you remember this interview you will understand.  In a 60 Minutes interview, Lesley Stahl asked, Madeleine Albright about the sanctions against Iraq, “We have heard that a half million children have died.  I mean, that's more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?”  Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said “ I think this is a very hard choice, but the price--we think the price is worth it.” How can the death of 500,000 children be acceptable?  You have to be evil to accept this price for a false democracy. 

The Prince of the World has blinded the eyes of the every elect of God.  The same argument will be used to launch a war against Iran-- they must be STOPPED!  Who cares about the innocent that will die?  It matters not who starts the war, it will being soon at the cost someone's child.

This brings me to the change in Christianity from love to hate.  I hear the “experts” on world events tell us that we should “smite the enemies of Israel”.  I am amazed at the messages coming from the American pulpits of destruction, aggression, revenge, fear and arrogance and pure hate.  What happened to the message of hope, forgiveness and salvation?   The Church has come to the point that killing the “enemies of Israel” equates to destroying evil. We need to be more concerned about getting our own families within the Kingdom of God than protecting a country that only uses us for their own benefit.

The Church has forgotten the Sermon on the Mount.  The Church has chosen to live under the Law in relationships with those who are “enemies”.   Jesus changed the Law, to give us a deeper spiritual life.  The “eye for and eye and a tooth of a tooth is past,  …love your enemies and bless those who curse you--is something we have forgotten.  Christians were to be a people who would be known by the fruit of the spirit--love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, self-control; not with hate, sorrow, war, meanness, evil, abusive and immoral traits.

The Church has fallen victim to the manipulation of an evil media who are pro-Zionist.  Many of those in the national media are enemies of the Church and Jesus Christ.  They have only one goal, and it is not the salvation of souls.   They could care less the number of innocent people who will be sacrificed to accomplish their goal of world domination.  What is sad is the number of nationally prominent “evangelical” ministers who have fallen under the spell of the Great Deceiver.  Just as the national media has deceived our nation, the religious media moguls have preached a message of deceit and have joined with the synagogue of Satan to deceive the elect.   There are those in the Church who believe they are supporting the fight against evil as described by the national and religious media but are fight against God.

Have you ever wondered how you would feel if your family and friends were victims of military action, like that carried out by the US?  How would you react to a country that destroyed the water treatment plants, then restricted chlorine and other necessary water treatment supplies, because they wanted an explosion of water-borne disease?  America has done this with great results.  Disease spread due to the inadequate water treatment and poor sanitation.  On top of this we restricted medicines from being transported into the country; we bombed the vaccine facilities claiming them to be factories of WMD’s.  Our country deliberately created conditions for disease and then withheld the treatment, no different from deliberately introducing a biological weapon.

Where was the love of Jesus in all this?  The way the Church has been manipulated to support the evil acts of the children of Satan is unbelievable.  As a follower of Jesus I believe in the right to life and I believe this right is extended to the children of Iraq and Iran.  I know there are radical Muslims in both Iraq and Iran that are enemies of those who are Christians, but this does not require us to kill the innocent. 

Our Nation is appalled with the killing of a few children in a movie theater and moved with compassion toward the families who have lost their children but what about the killing of little children in countries we think are so evil and our tax dollars pay for the bombs that will take their children's lives?  I am all for the right to life and I feel that should be extended to all children.  It is evil to proclaim the right to life for the unborn and then support the death of young children, born in the unfortunate country we are at war with.

I am not opposed to the war in Iraq and Afghanistan because I am a Quaker, I am opposed because we are acting as evil as the evil we profess to fight against.  The very people who would have us fight the “terrorist” are the same people who deny missionaries into these countries to spread the message of hope and salvation.  Regardless how you look at the Middle East problem the Church—the Body of Christ should not be caught up in the evil desires of the elite manipulators of global control.  However, I am afraid the sheep no longer hear the voice of the Good Shepherd.  They have been led astray by the hireling preachers of prosperity and nationalism.  Yes, I love my country and I am thankful for the freedoms I have at the cost of many brave men and women.  However, I will not stand by and allow the elite manipulators of global domination to trick me into sacrificing  my salvation for nations that are filled with the spirit of the Antichrist and deny the message of salvation to their people.

Do I feel the problems in the Middle East needs to be brought in check?  Yes, I do not agree with the desire of Muslims wishing to coming into our country and change the way we live nor do I agree with the influence Israel has in changing our country to be used for their benefits.  I don’t like countries that want to change my way of worshiping the LORD and will not allow me so much as to share Jesus Christ in their country.  Both the Muslim Nations and the Zionist Israel will not allow Christian missionaries in their country, but does this give me the right to go to war with them and kill those who disagree with me?  No, this is not the way of the true followers of Jesus Christ.  And yet, we have been dragged into conflicts between two religions that both despise us and will kill and destroy us as quickly as they can.   We need to let them handle their own problems and try to show them the way of salvation through Jesus Christ.

I know there are those who think, because they watch the Neocons of Fox News they have the best understanding of the Middle East problem but most of the Neocons on Fox are  Pro-Israeli Zionist who have only the interest of Zionist Israel at heart.  They could care less what happens to America.  Those who watch the Progressives on the liberal news media are no less informed and they too are part of the media owned by the Zionist.  So why has the Church allowed itself to be pulled into a world-wide conflict that has plans for us to be the loser in the end?

What has happened to the spirit of our ancestors who did not resist their torturers and were drowned, burnt at the stake and flogged for their stand for what is right. These true warriors of the Cross followed the example of Christ, and their resistance against the catastrophic effects of the merging of church and state cost them a great price. Churches today have signed onto the government plan and have agreed to look the other way in exchange for tax free privileges.  We are more concerned about losing our 501(c)3 status than our standing with God.  We have sold our spiritual birthright to feed at the trough of a wicked and evil government.

If, for one moment you could step out of the box and look at what is happening in the Church in regards to the Middle East you might be surprised.  There are those in the Church who call themselves “Evangelicals” that are trying to force the Return of Christ.  Using patriotism and nationalism wrapped up in a concern for “Israel”.  If America starts a conflict with Iran it means we will be that much closer to the book of Revelation happening.

These Christians are looking for the destruction Israel and they will get their wish if Iran is attacked.  The Iranians are not going to allow Israeli or American military forces to attack its territory without a major response. Any significant counter-attack on Israel and American regional bases will trigger a much greater counter-response—some are hoping Armageddon.  The Christian Zionist preacher will get richer than they ever dreamed.  They will sell more books and CD's about the soon Return of Christ than ever before.  They will get rich from the death of thousands.

The time is ripe for all this to happen.  The Iranians have equipped and paid for, and trained, a massive unguided rocket and guided missile force in Lebanon (the largest such force in human history).   Who cares if they have nuclear weapons, they have the support of Russia and China who both have nuclear weapons. Right now they have missiles in-place as a MAD force (a MAD ~ mutually assured destruction ~; established to prevent the use of overwhelming military force by allowing a return "punch" of overwhelming military destructive force upon one's enemy). The total number of missiles and rockets in Lebanon are variously estimated at between 40,000 and 110,000. While many are unguided Katyusha rockets, many are longer ranged guided missiles. All are operated by Hezbollah Special Forces launch teams.  

Here is something to think about, the Muslims are looking forward to the final great battle that the Christians call Armageddon.  Muslim believe the end times have arrived when  (Sura 21:96, 27:82, 43:61)  there is gross materialism, women outnumber men, Muslims defeat Jews in battle; Muslims and Christians battle unbelievers  together, the Muslims defeat Christians in battle.  All this is preceded by an increase in bloodshed and war, contraction of time, religious knowledge decreases and there is a prevalence of the ungodly.

So, what do the Jews think?   They believe there are ten signs that will happen before the Messiah return. (Sanhedrin 97b)  The world is either all righteous or guilty (let guess on this one-guilty), truth is in short supply, inflation will soar, Israel begins to be repopulated, wise people will be scarce, Jews will despair of redemption, the young will despise the old, scholarship will be rejected, piety will be held in disgust and Jews will turn against Jews.

As Christian we do not have time to be caught up in the wars of the world.  The time is short and we must be about the Father’s business.  The mission of the Church is not to force the return of Christ.  There is still work to be carried out.  The fields are white ready for harvest, but where are those who will labor for the Lord?  We cannot afford to become distracted by the signs of the time, the Church has a mission to accomplish and the message of Jesus Christ needs to be a reality in the lives of those who call themselves Christians. We need to stop listening to the lying messages of those who serve Satan and get back to the message of the Gospel by lifting up Jesus Christ.
