Obama makes history |
We Need Revenge!!!
The Iraq war is supported by Americans who feel we need to seek revenge on the Muslims who attacked us on 9/11.
I have heard President Bush, and many other "christians" say that "God is on our side".
Revenge is inherently evil, so how can God support it???
McCain is in FULL support of continuing the killing and revenge seeking in Iraq and the entire Middle East.
Here is what the bible says about revenge;
God commands: "You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself" (Leviticus 19:18, emphasis added throughout). All Christians-young adults included-should live by the code of no revenge taught by Jesus Himself (Matthew 22:37-40).
The people of God should not seek revenge. "Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, 'Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,' says the Lord" (Romans 12:19). Vengeance is the business of the Almighty who will repay injustice. If He doesn't do it now, He will do it later. God will also repay evil rulers of society who abuse their authority, fail to bring justice or punish the innocent.
McCain supports it all...and Christians support him. Makes me wonder who's side they are really on.
