So Christian brutality is more mild that Muslim brutality? Should we stand up and cheer? Christianity has largely been influenced by secular democracies--it is simply illegal to behead or stone to death someone because they violate biblical teaching. Not so with Islam--which is still largely sectarian and guided by Muslim theocracies where the brutality of the bible/Koran is both taught and expected. If Christianity was unshackled by secularism would it be any different than Islam? Why, if conservatives are the example both certainly seem to be guided by an equal amount to h**e!

You are missing the message here. You are too caught up in propaganda.
My aggression if you will for lack of a better term is against ISIS not the whole Muslim empire.
Yes turning the other cheek, etc. are good Christian principle that must be adhered to and I am glad you recognize this. However, no where does it state that we must give up our lives needlessly. No where in Christian teachings does it say we cannot defend ourselves.
Symbolically and according to Christian tradition and Christian teaching Christ took on all the sins of mankind, past present and future. And bore that punishment on the cross. However, he was innocent. He destroyed the paradox that existed, which was prophesied since Adam.
Now am I asking for aggression against ISIS?
No. I am asking that every American bear Arms and prepare for battle. I am asking every American to Pray to God, that this threat is stopped. That is what the title says and that is what I have been saying all along. I have never and will never waver on that. However, I am also a tactician. And the best defense is a good offense and not a preemptive unprovoked aggression.
I still hold true to the statement, "hold your fire until fired upon." ISIS attacked my oldest Brothers and Sisters. We have a duty and a responsibility to defend them if we can.
Therefore, it is a call to Arms! It is a call to Prayer! We must prepare for the worst! Hopefully it will not come to pass. Do you remember September 11th, Do you remember the people who died in the two towers and in the Pentagon? Were these people military targets? These people were Christians, These people were Fathers, Mothers, Brothers, Sisters, Sons and Daughters doing what they do.
They were k**led in the name of a foreign God. As a result we attacked everyone else except the responsible. Now these very responsible are planning to attack us again. Prepare yourself and Pray. These are the two solutions.
It is not against the teachings of Christ to defend yourself. But any action of aggression is against the teachings of Christ. If you study theology, and if you study world history as well as American history, you will eventually realize that God uses nations to bring about His Glory and Judgement. Just ask a Jew they know that lesson very well.
However, take a lesson from the Jews. Take the Israel test. How do you treat a person who through their innovation, rebuilds the land, not for themselves but for everyone. Do you treat them with envy, or would you want to be more like them?
If you want to be critical with Israel you will see since 1880 they resurrected the land that was desolate and put to waste full of malaria. When they had rebuilt the land and made it livable, the Arabs were jealous and Israel was attacked. Israel won! That win made the arabs even more jealous and the hatred continued.
Then while we were worried about Russia, Israel was fending off the terrorists. We were thus consumed into their war, in 1979 with the first real terrorist attack on the US. This would be the precursor to 9/11.
Americans were not attacked by terrorists prior to 1979. For the next 21 years the war would be fought over there. Then September 11, happened.
We need to prove to the World, to the arab ISIS, and the arab world, that this cannot be condoned. We need to prove to the World and the rest, that we will not just standby and let these evil people do this.
What is your resolve? Will you pick up a bible and pray for peace? Will you pick up a gun and defend that peace? or will you just lay down and do nothing? What will you do?
The answers to these questions will be played out in the next few years, as we are forced to go to war. A war that will make all wars look like child's play.
You forget they are using our weapons. They are using our tactics. They are using the training we gave them against us with even more brutality than we would use. To make the south surrender during the Civil War Sherman burned everything in his path, from Atlanta to the Sea. Years before, the battle of the Alamo was fought, where the Mexicans k**led Jim Bowie and Davy Crockett, where Sam Houston raised an Army and pushed the Mexicans well beyond the Rio Grand.
During World War II we were attacked again and we ended the war with the dropping of two atomic bombs on Japan. Now what makes the Mexicans, the Rebels, the Japanese, so much different from ISIS, Hamas, or Al Qaeda?
Nobody wants to go to war but ISIS! We need to prepare ourselves. Our leaders are so blinded by greed and power that those who see the threat are being drowned out by the powers to be, so to speak.
We need to rise up and remember September 11th. Remember September 11th! I cannot stress this anymore.
If you guys follow me in some of my ramblings and writings, you will see, I will fight ISIS harder and with more passion, than, I will fight against Obama and all of our politicians. I will even put the Obama, and liberal thing on hold to defeat ISIS.
I have strong values, and that gets me into fights, arguments and debates with people and for the most part its good entertainment.
But when you see the brutality of these Muslim extremists, Even Ned Stark of the Family Stark on Game of thrones, would say "Whoa!"
We must defend ourselves like our ancestors did. And this statement only goes back 200 years. Did you know they have been planing this since before desert storm? Did you know Osama Bin Laden took credit for the fall of the Soviet Union. Did you know that his plan was to do it to the United States and I for one thought the threat was controlled and all we had left to do was mop up all the evil ones and either bring them to trial and contain them. But now with the events of the world happening now. There is only one way to stop them.
We missed opportunities to end this many times already. We could have stopped it back in 1989, then again in 1991, then in 1994, 1996, 1998, 2001, 2003, 2006, 2009, 2010, 2012, and 2013, but the pacifiness of those years, just empowered them. And Yes, I go back to Bush Sr. Clinton, Bush Jr. and now the i***t Obama. I blame Congress and the President for being so selfish that their selfish ways are going to bring about one of the deadliest battles of all time. And I fear that this battle will take place on this continent.
I would rather argue about the gays, obamacare, the border issues, the ferguson case, or any other problem. However, they mean nothing and will be fought in vain, if ISIS starts attacking us here!
Wake up people, this war that is coming is going to be bloody, it will be in your face, and it may be fought over here, I pray to God it would not be, but the writings on the wall. ISIS got an inadvertent license to k**l from our President, when he said that America is no longer a Christian Nation. They were further empowered when the same American President bowed down to the Saudi King.
I stand for Christ, I stand for America. And in doing so, the first step is pr********n for the Arab Hurricane. We must weather the storm and fight back. For the American Spirit cannot be crushed unless we let it happen. Prepare yourselves.
Arm yourself, get others to arm themselves. This is not a call to arms against the government but inadvertently it is a call to protect ourselves and our government.
We can argue among ourselves later. Do not be surprised that on the 11th day of next month, as is their tradition, ISIS attempts to attack.
May God Help US!
