PEARL HARBOR AND WAR
As a vet, but more importantly as a disciple of Christ, today i thought about the 70th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor and the sacrifice of the "greatest generation" in the wake of "a date which will live in infamy." To the veterans and survivors of that fateful day, thank you. i also in my heart, wonder if any of the nations involved were led by GOD? Just because it is part of America's history does not make it righteous or just in the eyes of GOD.
JESUS said: "Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, but I say unto you, that ye resist not evil but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also." MATTHEW 5:38-39
Which wars have America fought in that were clearly and wholly sanctified by the righteousness and holiness of GOD through JESUS CHRIST our LORD??? Just asking.
"From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence even of your lusts that war in your members? Ye lust and have not, ye kill and desire to have and cannot obtain, ye fight and war yet ye have not because ye ask not. Ye ask and receive not because ye ask amiss that ye may consume it upon your lusts. Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands ye sinners and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted and mourn and weep, let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord and he shall lift you up." JAMES 4:1-10
i believe that only the arrogance and self righteous will of man would say that GOD fights with us when our nation goes to fight, and kill, and war against another. Where in the Word of God does it say that thou shall not kill, except...
i believe, in CHRIST, killing is never justified. We willingly die for our faith and stand in the whole WORD of GOD in CHRIST JESUS, not just part of it, not picking and choosing, not twisting it to justify our selfish lusts and desires, as individuals and as nations.
Why would a Christian fear (have a moral dread of being displeasing unto) anything in this world except our GOD?
Why would man live in fear of being displeasing unto other men except that he is living for SATAN and not for GOD.
The world is soon passing away, JESUS is coming soon. It is time to choose whom you serve. GOD or SATAN? The real war raging all around us is the battle for the souls of men.
