So a woman fighting against rape is taking life. She is interfering with a process that would have directly created life within seconds. The solution???

It's sad that Americans are so eager to sacrifice the lives of children for money and an ancient document they have somehow attached religious reverence to.

The one good thing about Trump is that he drawn a clear dividing line between followers of Jesus Christ and....to be honest, there's not a single word that I can think of to describe supporters of Trump that wouldn't get me banned on this forum. He and they have crossed any and all limits of...

Sorry but it very much is that. 1. If you are saying that only people who have willfully accepted Jesus Christ as their savior, aka the evangelical mantra, get into heaven, then that means that billions upon billions upon billions, the vast majority of humankind throughout history is in hell...

Kind of amazing that even a movie like the Shack, that is about God in every single frame, just "doesn't have enough of hell" for the average conservative. Sad.

So then every single last Christian without exception is to be crucified tomorrow then? And btw, I encourage you to give the same reply to survivors of one of the Syrian villages whose daughters is being tortured and raped right now at the hands of ISIS. Which is what we're talking about. Tell...

All of this makes absolutely no sense. So it's wrong for Christians to defend themselves....but in cases that they do, it's part of God's plan, but still wrong? Was the United States evil when it stopped Nazi Germany? What bothers me is that all this muddies some pretty clear waters. So that...

A number of comments in this thread continue acting as if the question is whether war in general is awesome or not. This is not about soldiers following their king and oil money and all of that can be explained as "worldly business." This is about Christians being massacred to the point of...

at the OP:....right. So you are pro-life, but only when it comes to the unborn: When they are born, they are on their own, the government shouldn't be taking your money to help give them a chance at life? To clarify, I believe on a scientific, and possibly scriptural basis that the pro-life...

In what way is God to intervene other than through us?

Well yes and no. Yes, I believe that Christians must fight genocide, but unfortunately and as difficult as it is, sometimes there is no other choice than taking up actual arms. Hitler was not listening to reason, and no other form of resistance would have stopped him. The Ottoman Empire kept...

Yes, and genocide is what is happening right now in the Middle East. Genocide is what happened in World War II; in the Ottoman Empire conquest of Eastern Europe; to name a few. I can not understand how any Christian justifies standing back in times like this. And fighting those fights is...

That's great, but then the Evangelical/conservative narrative of "only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ alone," which is central to those denominations, falls apart - because it states clearly that there is only one way with no exceptions - yet in this scenario alone we already have...

Probably been pointed out a number of times....but if there is no purgatory, and the only options are hell or heaven solely through one accepting Jesus Christ....then I suppose hell is filled with millions of babies? Since they died before they were old enough to accept anyone or form any real...

But my point is that that shouldn't be the point. Yes, conflicts today are very complicated and intervention isn't going to solve everything in the long term. However, that absolutely does not excuse the current Western mindset of just sitting back and letting innocent people get slaughtered, or...

Right, so if your family was being butchered in front of you, you would tell police officers "no please don't use violence" to stop the attackers, you would embrace your death and the death of your family "as Jesus" did? I don't believe a single rational person would ever do that. That sounds...

Absolutely nowhere do I say a single word about "revenge," "rebellion," or anything even remotely connected to that. Ever. And if every single last Christian is dead and buried, who exactly will be proclaiming Scripture then? Where exactly will church be? Is this not pleading for the...

Who said anything about revenge? I'm asking about saving populations that are being massacred. Defending people is not "evil." It seems that many Christians are willing to turn their back and not hear the pleas or the concerns or the stories of their brothers and sisters in chains. I would not...

I would like other people to reply to this, to make sure I'm not missing something, because I have asked over and over again what would you as a Christian do in that situation, and no matter the length of all of your replies, you have still not provided a single direct answer. What does "being...
