I'm glad to finally hear from another Christian that actually gets it! <BR/><BR/>Note to critics: A.O. has roots in Israel!Aaron D.

There are so many traumatized Palestinian children that have never seen a jew, except for israeli soldiers who very often treat them and their families with contempt and even smashing them and humiliate them. <BR/>The support to the actions of the Israeli government unconditionally is alarming because it contradicts the Gospel and Jesus´ care for ALL people regardless their background and religious upbringing.<BR/>I keep wondering how some believing Christians read and comprehend the Old Testament : There are so many stories of the prophets who critizised Israel when they were on the wrong track. <BR/>Nowadays too many Christians (especially in the US) turn the blind eye to the fact that for unsaved muslims it is a very very big wall that true Christians seem to be caring so little of the Palestinians because they are muslims! They talk about muslim Palestinian in a "spiritual" manner and make them an automatically linked with Islam and therefore it seems to be okay to almost hate the muslims at such.<BR/>Of course you can find hateful Muslims and Islam is not Christianity´s "best friend". Anyway Atheism is not either and any other disbelief or religion.<BR/><BR/>Looking e.g. through the Christian channel www.cbn.com and their news of the war in Gaza is a chock to me!! Not a single word of the civilian losses in Gaza. Not one word of compassion with the wounded and dead children living in Gaza,- Gaza an almost "God-forsaken" place,- full of grief and despair for so many years.<BR/>We are SO very wrong in having this cool attitude! There are many muslims in that area that do not know the wonderful message of Christ. Our ability to meet them as human beings with tender loving care,- searching for the soul "behind the veil " is crucial if we want to be seen as serious witnesses of a merciful God who sent his own Son as a sacrifice for our sin.<BR/><BR/><BR/>It is time to read the parabel of the good Samaritan and to pray our sweet Saviour to unlock the true meaning of this story.<BR/><BR/><BR/>I apologize for any errors in my English language/writing, since it is not my "first" language.<BR/><BR/>Kind regards & God bless you <BR/>A.O. from Denmark, family ties in Nazareth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23067594.post-52434154970428725472009-01-08T18:33:00.000-08:002009-01-08T18:33:00.000-08:00Hello RS.

The question isn't what is allowable for governments? The question is what is allowable for Christians? The amazing discovery that I've made is that these two are often at odds with each other. But, there again, you'll have to read my book to allow me to fully present my case.<BR/><BR/>Blessings!<BR/><BR/>AaronAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23067594.post-67696415851972288402009-01-08T14:03:00.000-08:002009-01-08T14:03:00.000-08:00Jesus would not bomb anyoneBut the bible says its ...Jesus would not bomb anyone<BR/><BR/>But the bible says its the Govt job to protect its citizens. You say that Israel is being "heavy handed". There is no other country that would go WAY out of their way for peace as Israel has. What would you propose they do? It sounds like you are a true man of faith who is doing great work for the Lord. I would say that you are misguided on this issue. I would urge you to read "Eye to Eye" by Bill Koenig.<BR/><BR/>God Bless<BR/><BR/>RichRShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16497399592324693900noreply@blogger.com
