Why America is losing in Afghanistan. -
01-28-2011, 10:19 PM
As we approach the ten year anniversary of our involvement in Afghanistan, I was praying for our troops. I asked the LORD to show me why the world's most powerful military can't secure a virtually unpopulated country with 100 year old technology.
The Holy Spirit, as it usually does, led me to the answers in the scriptures. I had a eureka moment. How could it have escaped me in the past? The reason we are losing the war in Afghanistan is because we are not pursuing it according to Biblical principles.
We all know war should not be approached lightly. Christ himself told us to turn the other cheek, but it was proven in the aftermath of the 9-11 attacks, that the Taliban was an imminent threat to American freedoms.
Having said that, there are a number of things we are not doing as per God's commands for warfare.
- First of all, we are not slaying all the men over there.
Numbers 31:7 And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.
- Secondly, we should be slaying all the male children and the non-virgin women.
Numbers 31:17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
- I am also not seeing enough Afghani child brides coming back to the U.S. as spoils of our soldiers'. This would be a huge morale booster for our fighting men.
Numbers 31:18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. The rules for taking women captives as your wife can be found in
Deuteronomy 21:11-13 And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife; Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house, and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails;
And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.
- We are making deals with the natives over there. God does not want us to do that! God calls for their complete destruction.
Deuteronomy 7:2 And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them:
- We have wrongly respected Mohammedans' religion. God calls for the destruction of their temples and alters. This would completely rob them of their will to fight.
Deuteronomy 7:5 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.
I hope any of our fighting men in the U.S. armed forces reading this take it to heart!
Christians are superior because we possess an understanding that unbelievers lack. It is through the Power of Jesus only the converted mind is able to understand what is going on in the world; what the Communists are really up to; what Satan's intentions are. Most unbelievers do not even believe in Satan and cannot understand his tactics.

Are we losing?
What's the point of wasting all our young men there then?

Dear Levi Jones,
Your analysis of Obama's total failure in Afghanistan is very accurate. It is clear that Obama is aiding the terrorists instead of defeating them. Why else would it take so long? If George W. Bush would still have been in office the Taliban would have been completely crushed by now. If only we had a president who took God as serious as you do. "But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." (Matthew 4:4)
Yours in Christ,
Pastor J.C. Manning, M.D., Ph.D.
How to Study the Bible - About HELL! - The Miracles of Jesus - Biblical Facts - Scientific PROOF
THE BIBLE SAYS THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO HEAVEN!
Jesus said: "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6
ONLY JESUS CAN SAVE YOU!
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him
from the dead, thou shalt be saved." Romans 10:9
1. Admit you are a worthless sinner. Romans 3:10
2. Be willing to turn from sin (repent). Acts 17:30
3. Believe that Jesus Christ died for you, was buried and
rose from the dead. Romans 10:9-10
4. Through prayer, invite Jesus into your life to become
your personal Savior, Boss, King and Lord. Romans 10:13
| What to Pray:
Lord Jesus, I know that I have sinned against you.
I know that I am not perfect and that I can never
please you through my own efforts. I know that I
deserve to be judged according to my sins. And, I
know that I have absolutely nothing to offer you.
Lord Jesus, I ask you to forgive me. I do not rely
on myself but only on you and I receive you as
Lord of my life and as savior of my soul.
Lord Jesus, please save me!
| Accepted Jesus as your Savior?
Now you need to:
1. Study your KJV Bible every day
to get to know Christ better.
2. Talk to God in prayer every day.
3. Be baptized, worship, fellowship,
and serve with other Christians
in a church where Christ is preached,
and the Bible is the final authority.
4. Tell others about Jesus Christ
until the day Jesus finally kills you.

Why thank you, Pastor. If only people would realize that we must take the land to be our own instead of these silly little wars to prop up governments.
We will never be successful in warfare until we do what the Bible tells us to.

These are great thoughts. The Western World needs to collect all the ideas that are out there and use the best ones.
I've wondered why we don't kidnap members of wealthy families and demand ransoms for their return. We could finance the wars that way.
Isaiah 24:1-3 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty (2)...as the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. (3) The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken his word.

bin laden's family is loaded, maybe we could start with him.
1 Chronicles 16:15
Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations ... an everlasting covenant.
Proverbs 30:5,6: Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

Your references to scripture are so powerful, Brother Levi. It seems to me the entire problem there could be solved with one word, NUKE.
With on decisive action we could both win the war and fulfill and the requirements of the scriptures.
Isaiah 24:1-3 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty (2)...as the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. (3) The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken his word.

Jesus also said "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;"
We should be loving, blessing, and praying for the Afghans

Almost correct there, Ksevio, complete the thought:
We should be loving, blessing, and praying for the Afghan survivors of our attack!
Jud 1:15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are un Godly among them of all their un Godly deeds which they have un Godly committed, and of all their hard [speeches] which un Godly sinners have spoken against him.
