Only if you think what the Jews did to Jesus cause He didn't fit their desire for revenge, was made up.
Your thinking has nothing to do with me, thank goodness.

Peoples judgements have no effect on me.
That's fine, but as a personal witnesses to Jesus Christ and the gospel, you should be concerned with how the content you share online is viewed by others, especially those outside of the Church.

@Bradskii, the next time you see someone argue that Christianity is bad because of all the violence committed in its name, I hope you may feel inclined to remember what I've said about it here.
I go with what Ghandi said. Paraphrasing: I like your Christ. I'm not too sure sure about some of your Christians.

Report: Hamas is now chambered in 5.56 thanks to all the blasters Joe left in Afghanistan. Aren't you glad your taxes helped supply terrorism worldwide?

Aren't Iran and Aghanistan pretty much in arms against each other these days? Why would Iran then have any significant amount of weapons left in Aghanistan to supply Hamas with?

I know that to some people, this is all "muslim country", but those states don't really like each other more often than not.

I'm going to try something a little different. What's happening right now is that there is a conflict between wanting to be Christian and wanting to indulge some anti-Christian feelings. This can happen in many areas of life, like financially, or romantically, or with family, school, etc. Invariably, anyone who wants to be Christian will find themselves in some kind of values-based confrontation, whether it plays out philosophically or physically.

You go to your friend's bachelor party where everyone gets a lap dance. You want to be relatable and fun, but you need to draw the line. Some kids at school make fun of a kid with a disability. You want to be their friend, but you also need to say something against the abuse.

Some of your friends get jumped by a gang and beat up. Your friends are much stronger and well equipped than the gang who jumped them and they're making plans to go absolutely destroy the other gang. Even though you care for them, you want to tell them not to go and take revenge. In fact, you want to promote the teachings of Jesus because, if people were only willing to do what he said, they would find out that his way really is better.

This is what you expect from Christians; they are in the world, but not of the world. They want to be relatable, friendly, and loving. But, they also know when it's time to make a stand for the way of Jesus, as opposed to the worldly way of vicious cycles.

But we don't see that happening with many of these arguments, despite all the claims to Christianity. We see the opposite. Instead, it seems more like Jesus' stance in this case is annoying and frustrating to these professing Christians. The spirit seems to be, "Look at these animals, Jesus! Don't you understand how horrible they are? Terrorists! Animals! Beasts! Lower than beasts! They deserve to be destroyed, Jesus, not loved! "

Jesus gets treated like an ignorant buffoon to be patted on the head when he talks about love and grace and put in the corner when he talks about discipline and self-examination. Well did Jesus speak when he said well did Isaiah speak when he said, "This people draw near to me with their lips, bu their heart is far from meli". This is what it looks like in real time, in a live situation.

@Bradskii, the next time you see someone argue that Christianity is bad because of all the violence committed in its name, I hope you may feel inclined to remember what I've said about it here.
So, with Jesus you're saying no punishments no justice. So if someone murders your wife and rapes your daughter, police should not jail that person, because Jesus never jailed anyone, and says to love our enemies instead.

Whatever. Israel is going to teach the Palestinians a hard lesson. You should support justice.

Wonder who the worldly messiah will be this time around for the Jews, They will eventually get their wish, of course an anti-Christ who will be worldly in nature, what they've wanted all a long.
Seems you're convinced that the Jews were bad, and that they always will be bad.

Not sure how all the equipment and weapons of war the Biden Administration left in Afghanistan made it through the Taliban hands to Hamas. That would be a good question for the Biden administration.

Maybe you can tell Ukraine they should lay down their arms and have a big group hug.

So, with Jesus you're saying...to love our enemies instead.
I've taken out the confusing part. Yes, with Jesus, I'm saying to love our enemies instead of kill them. That is what Jesus taught. If you think that's not the right thing, that's okay. You can think that. Just don't call yourself a Christian while arguing against what Jesus taught.

You can only point a gun at one of two people.

Your brother in Christ... or the person you were commanded to go and make a disciple of Christ.

Which one of those two people would Chist congratulate you for killing?

First we need to establish that that actually happened, before we worry about how. So far, the only thing waved as evidence is 5.56 rounds, which are the same that the Israeli Defense Forces use.

In all the pictures shown of this group they are holding and carrying M4 assault rifles.

More than the small arms they have, where did the terrorist's get all their rockets they have been shooting at Israel?

No matter this whole situation is horrific and my prayers go out to all the people who are affected by the violence Hamas has unleashed.

I will anyways. And so will everyone.

...We will be for the removal of HAMAS by force, while calling ourselves Christians. All the way through

Hmmm.... Probably not the best approach.
