Men never commit evil so fully and joyfully
as when they do it for religious convictions.
Blaise Pascale
Those who are determined to cause World War III can never carry the name of their professed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ because the gospels are full of quotes and directives regarding that one.
19 - Directives - to turn the other cheek.
18 - Directives - to love your neighbour as yourself.
In his book the Age of Reason - Thomas Paine wrote - "the most detestable wickedness, the most horrid cruelties, and the greatest of miseries that have afflicted the human race have had their origin in this thing called revelation or revealed religion". No one can deny that statement.
Religion has been the cause of nearly all wars throughout history, but to presume that religion is controlled and directed by genuine sons of God is an absolute fallacy. It's a hornets nest of the depraved sons of Satan who continue to meddle, control others and feed off the pickings.
Just one glance at the list of the richest pastors in the world will give any atheist fuel for his disgust.
Bishop David Oydepo - £150 million - meanwhile Africa starves.
Bishop Tk.D Jakes - £147 million - South Africa is considering a warrant for his arrest.
Benny Hinn - £42 million - his special toy a Gulf Stream G4 Jet.
Kenneth Copeland - £25 million.
NOWHERE in scripture did Jesus command his followers to do anything other than FREELY GIVE. Who would not want to believe their dying child could be saved at the hands of these so called Men of God but whilst healing sometimes takes place, millions die. Is the God of heaven that callous and controlling that he allows the mass slaughter of millions? No - FREE WILL - has been given to every individual. God is not a police man, but sooner or later he will intervene to eradicate and cleanse this planet of its scum, human infestation and their exploitation of the lesser brethren (animals) with whom we share this earth.
2 Peter - 3 (10-12) suggests destruction will be by fire. Scientists on the other hand are focused on sun flares which are causing considerable concern. A major flare incident and the earth would burn. One way or another Son or Sun. THE CLOCK IS TICKING.
We all have a conscience (although some might question that one where the actions of others are concerned). It will gift us sleepless nights when we have done something we know is wrong. Memories of those who have suffered as a direct consequence of our actions haunt our dreams. Sleep comes when we realise we are accountable to God and experience genuine remorse for our action, repent and hopefully receive His forgiveness. Sadly some are taken over by the wiles of Satan's cohorts. C.S. Lewis nailed that one in his book "The Screwtape Letters"
A terrible accident takes the life of a precious son and Shallow Hal immediately points the finger at God. He doesn't link the responsibility to man suffocating the highways, drink, drugs or mere exhaustion from enforced journeys just to ensure a sufficient wage to feed a family. No, his son is dead and he lays the blame squarely a the feet of his hitherto God and joins the ranks of the Christ haters. After all he prayed for a miracle recovery but God didn't answer that one.
Another suggests you avoid the rough sleeper, a man with long hair and dirty fingernails and gosh doesn't he just smell. "Another day for you and me in Paradise" - Phil Collins - springs to mind and might produce a momentary twinge of guilt. Or perhaps they would have walked past their Saviour along with his friends on the streets of Jerusalem. This world still judges a man by what he has or what he owns and presumes a garment of respect. In reality he has probably crawled over siblings and employees to maintain his stash and keeps it well screened and far from the slums of the inner city housing estates. As long as the sun rises and sets on this planet the bloodshed will continue and the rich will bleed the poor.
No man or woman who truly follows Christ could hurt another human being or animal. We acknowledge that if we do not practice good husbandry the earth will not support life. Tell that one to Monsanto who are still marketing Round-up knowing full well it causes cancer in animals and humans.
The seed of Peace is given to those who follow Jesus Christ and they in turn could become martyrs until He returns.
And if there is a God
I think it very unlikely that he would have such an uneasy vanity
as to be offended by those who doubt his existence.
Bertrand Russell
Regardless of viewpoint or beliefs those who deny the present global turmoil will inevitably suffer the consequences. Old hatreds are back with vengeance. "This is a land of Confusion" brilliant foresight by Genesis and Phil Collins who along with the Spitting Image team might wish to consider a follow up "It's getting worse - where were you"
World War III would indeed lead the way to complete and utter destruction either by a direct hit or fallout. There will be no winners - ONLY LOSERS the consequences too terrible to contemplate. Prayerfully may our creator God raise up men of integrity and truth who will lead others in the path of Peace.
As for His children. Yeshua HaMashiach - therein lies our Peace.
