Is this the part where you come out and say Christianity is that nasty assed religion?

Yes it is. Japan were guilty of a lot of atrocities,only way to stop em was with a big fist. They corrected themselves real quick. You could probably add the Aztecs falling to Cortez despite having a huge numerical advantage as another. Too much human sacrifice bro

Like suicide bombings?

Your argument is starting to sound like the solution to a particularly dangerous religion in the middle east is to turn them into shadows like what was done in Japan.

Thats hateful, bro

The act of expressing strength. Its a primal drive. Even little toddlers will do it unprompted. And if you flex at them, they even flex back and maybe throw in a “Grrr!” for good measure.

Its just what we do.

Can u correlate being put under pressure to perhaps gaining strength through such a process. Man I’m going through issues at this time,and they haven’t been solved even through prayer. It’s like I’m being passed thru a fire of some sort. Question is,will I be burnt up or refined

That depends on if you’re the victim that was lucky to make it through, or the victor who chose growth amongst the circumstances

So u go to the gym but someone lifts the weights for u. I gave you a keyword,do the work amigo. Don’t make me have to look through the whole of 2nd Samuel to locate.

There is a parallel. Replace Islam with Baal,Molech,Ishtar,Dagon and a whole bunch of demon gods that demanded child sacrifice from the people that lived within their borders. They also wanted to spread

Are you saying you’re in support of glassing over the muslim populailtion in the middle east?

Hardly any here. We had 1 guy a few years ago pop over 50 of them in 1 go . Ran thru a mosque. I’m not as hardline as you,sure I’ve had a couple of dust ups but I’ve also got on ok on occasion. But some of the things they do are wrong

The way you frame your positions is very challenging to understand.

Because I’m somewhat ambivalent due to my location and not quite in agreement with you using the Israelites whacking demon gods as total justification for Ur crusade. I do understand your position and agree somewhat.

Ah, see I’m not on Israel’s side either. I think there’s evil on both sides and that the entire chunk of land ought to be glassed with all bad actors included.

Muslims enable pedophilia at the highest level. In fact they worship one.
Israel actively hides and protects pedophiles.

Muslims are often very open about their desire to wipe out and subjugate the west.
Israel owns all the banks, media, schools, and controls our government. They just do it quietly.

So to me, its like watching the slave master beat someones ass - but that someone also hates me for existing.

To me, both are bad and need gone.

Tempered. The heat and quench hardens. The tempering makes you tough. Tough is still hard as fuck, but not brittle.

We go through things and its hard to understand why at the time. Then the next thing hits, and you begin to understand the resilience and toughness that was built the last time.

The important thing to remember is that when you’re going through hell, keep going!

Fair points there

In the last few years, my family has gone through some shit. I’ve had a lot of prayers go unanswered during that time. Looking back on some of them, I’m glad they weren’t answered. God has his plan for you to prosper and succeed. We have no idea how that plan unfolds. We don’t have the big picture. I’ve gotten much better about being grateful for the great things I have been given in my life and trusting that God is looking out for me in his way.

You mean jewish people. Anyway, why is that you think?

This is just how things were before then. Not only Israel did it. It is justified by those enemies being extremely evil, an evil we all agree about probably.

Exactly. And the Canaanites were practicing human sacrifice as well, to accentuate the point. They were very evil people, also engaging in all kinds of sexual degeneracy. Leviticus 18 lists all of the evil deeds that the Canaanites were doing, and God says that it was because of those things that He was going to destroy them. These acts included incest, bestiality, and sacrificing one’s children to Molech. The latter of these we have archeological evidence of.

The Carthaginians also sacrificed their children. As Phoenicians, they were the “cousins” of the Canaanites, ethnically and culturally. What the Romans did to is remarkably similar to what God commanded the Israelites to do to the Canaanites. They killed everyone and completely destroyed the city.
