Re: The Chinese Are Tearing Down Crosses. Are We Ready for War?

On Facebook I have brethren that live in China. Yes, in every country - except the Vatican - there are people that are truly born again. Even in the most ungodly countries (of course not in Vatican). Of course they cannot be happy. But it's better to waste this life than to waste eternity.

Luke 9:25 - For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?


Overall I can say China is a nice country, but Chinese people aren't.

...since the WWII the US has not officially declared a war on any nation. That's right - the Korean war, Vietnam war, Persian Gulf War, and all of the mess in Iraq/Afghanistan and adjacent areas are wars that have not started with a formal declaration of war...

Which was awfully handy for everyone involved, being able to wash their hands when it all went to shit due to half-assedness, corruption, and/or near-criminal incompetence, "but it wasn't really a war so we didn't take it all that seriously, oh don't worry if we'd had that piece of paper we'd of kicked some serious ass lemmetellya USAUSAUSausa... <pant wheeze gasp>".

Re: The Chinese Are Tearing Down Crosses. Are We Ready for War?

is Jesus not a pacifist?

Nope.

Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

yes he rose from the dead and then died again till the next coming aka the apocalypse.

????

no it has not become independent but it isn't attached to the USA last I checked.

Hawaii and Puerto Rico aren't either, and yet all of these places are part of the US, so I'm really confused by what you were trying to convey there.

and that isn't how war works, you have to send a formal letter stating that you're going to war with whoever is getting it and after that those laws don't have any legal holding.

I believe that when you are rambling about a "formal letter" you simply are referring to the formal declaration of war, right?

Well, let me enlighten you: since the WWII the US has not officially declared a war on any nation. That's right - the Korean war, Vietnam war, Persian Gulf War, and all of the mess in Iraq/Afghanistan and adjacent areas are wars that have not started with a formal declaration of war. So I'm afraid you are the one who doesn't know how a war works.

Re: The Chinese Are Tearing Down Crosses. Are We Ready for War?

I don't see how we Americans can stand by and simply watch the Chinese government tear down crosses. About 1,700 has been destroyed so far.

We invaded and conquered Afghanistan. Then we invaded and conquered Iraq. I cannot understand why we would not do the same with China. Are we going to sit on our hands and watch China destroy the symbol of Jesus?

While I don't disagree here, you do have to hand it to the chinks in trying to preserve their "culture" and at the same time ridding their country of the purveyors of wafers, Mary worshiping, and bead slinging. Those fat smiling Buddha's are another matter however.

While we have our own priorities at the moment, we could take a lesson from them in ridding our country of mosques.

. . . .

Earlier this month, Father Francis Liu, a Chinese priest, shared a video showing local officials tearing down crosses from the Shangqiu Catholic Church South Cathedral during a major raid in Henan.

The cathedral, which was sanctioned by the government, was subjected to five hours of occupation, during which crosses were removed from the building.

As Fu told CP, the government seems to be wanting to "Sinicize" religion, meaning it wants to promote and guide religion that is Chinese in orientation.

I'm sorry when was the last time a person survived over 200 years while being completely anonymous.

Protip: knowing what the Bible says helps when arguing about it.

Re: The Chinese Are Tearing Down Crosses. Are We Ready for War?

In a word yes. Jesus is not some panty waste.

Psalms 137:6-9 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy. Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof. O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones

Read that last bit: Jesus has commanded like a General since forever. If He told GW to smite those towel heads, they get smote!

Young lady, history was obviously not a priority in your (probably public) school?

I'm only a female, but my understanding of an act of war is that it is bringing own troops into another country's territory without their permission - and the same definition of war applied before, during, and after WW2.



Huh? Has Alaska became an independent country already? So we're back to 49 states in the Union? How come this didn't make the news?

Re: The Chinese Are Tearing Down Crosses. Are We Ready for War?

you did both against the UN and the laws made for war after ww2 so you couldn't take your military into a county without their permission(which you didn't).

I'm only a female, but my understanding of an act of war is that it is bringing own troops into another country's territory without their permission - and the same definition of war applied before, during, and after WW2.

there was even a study done that stated every county excluding America thought America was going to start the next war, while America/Alaska thought it was Iran.

Re: The Chinese Are Tearing Down Crosses. Are We Ready for War?

so you're saying that 1) a god who never responds to anyone nor makes themselves known and 2) a guy who has been dead for over 2000 years suddenly decided that they were gonna talk.
god is on no ones side not even his kin's. if he was so godly how come he didn't turn water into wine but instead metal into a death count.

Re: The Chinese Are Tearing Down Crosses. Are We Ready for War?

Not so. Godly GW Bush was told directly by Jesus to invade those countries.

That’s why we won. That’s why America always wins. God was, is and forever will be on America’s side.

Psalm 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

Re: The Chinese Are Tearing Down Crosses. Are We Ready for War?

America didn't go to Iraq or Afghanistan to conquer but to liberate the innocent which were under the control of a cruel dictatorship and to punish extremist groups in which you did illegally and against the UN. and their county isn't even Christen in the first place, plus you have no say in what their country does anyway.

Re: The Chinese Are Tearing Down Crosses. Are We Ready for War?

YES! 'Murrica NUMBER ONE! Police of the world!!!!


Great to see the young ones of today getting it right!!!





Unlike China, who is under a extreme democracy regime...





So it is ok to invade a country to remove a government and install a new one, but not to invade to eliminate a terrorist thread.


Call me what you will, but the first thing is a domestic problem, and the second one has international implications.


Moreover, GOD told Bush to do it, so no one has a say in this, not the UN, not any other country in the world.







So USA has a say in what other Christian countries do? That is a step ahead. Thanks for letting us know.

you have twisted what I have said to fuel your ego. you did both against the UN and the laws made for war after ww2 so you couldn't take your military into a county without their permission(which you didn't). not the USA but Christians can say for what other Christians can and cannot do. so did god also tell bush to kill thousands of innocent people who hadn't done anything wrong in their life to warrant their death religious or otherwise.
and in fact America is not police of the world but the one most likely to start ww3 and destroy the whole planet, and there was even a study done that stated every county excluding America thought America was going to start the next war, while America/Alaska thought it was Iran.

Re: The Chinese Are Tearing Down Crosses. Are We Ready for War?

As always, you came up with a brilliant idea, Brother Mayor. China may seem like a large area to conquer

It only looks that big on the obviously flawed global Earth world view. From a more realistic flat Earth perspective the story is much more differenter, I expect.
