Is that entirely true?
The invasion of Canaan was about false gods. The slaughter of those who worshipped the golden calf is another example. The massacre of the prophets of Baal and Asherah on mount Moriah is another example. The burning of the religious symbols of the occupying power by Gideon is another....
In the NT the shift is towards a more positive focus on sharing and living out the good news of Jesus but Paul is clear in his address to the Athenians that there is only one true God and he debates extensively with idol worshippers and people trapped by false philosophies and traditions. He provokes considerable anger in various idol worshippers and is stoned almost to death for his comments in the market place. There is a degree of gentleness and respect in this witness that was not there in the OT theocracy ,I suppose, but one can envisage societies where Christians make the rules and blasphemy and idolatry are legitmately outlawed and these laws are enforced by the authorities given the power of the sword (Rom 13 v 1-7).
I don't know, just wouldn't want to slip into the same mindset as those militant radical Muslim's. Who decide who and what is on their side at a drop of an irreverent lie posted on the internet."Nakoula Nakoula, one strange person"
and he can not be a Christian, for he is filled with hate.
If the man had made a video outlining the differences in the "Muslims Jesus" and Jesus, the Lord would likely not allow for his family to suffer more for his indignation. However, seeing how this "christian" or "jew" merely falsely promoted a religion, whether false or not, for the direct purpose of inciting violence......i am not so sure the Lord will protect the innocent.I don't know, just wouldn't want to slip into the same mindset as those militant radical Muslim's.

What little I know of this man sure shows he is need of study and a personal revival leading to an public apology and removal of the video clip from view.
I hope that this man's family, who are still in Egypt as I understand, and all Coptic Christians of Egypt remain safe. They have been attacked many times through the years for less.
I see your point. I do not know then what to say about Egypt, they voted, they have a new government, but still are struggling to get back on their economic feet. And the West will not put up with rioting on the embassies.If the man had made a video outlining the differences in the "Muslims Jesus" and Jesus, the Lord would likely not allow for his family to suffer more for his indignation.

Talk is going on today at the capitol in cutting foreign aid to Egypt and Libya.
That guy in the video with Coors beer and claims he has no blood on his hands is a so-called consultant, the promoter of movie, Steve Klein, AKA goofball.He claims he has no blood on his hands. IMO, he should be given a 100% expense free vacation to Kandahar or Islamabad, given a new wardrobe custom made with his name written in bold letters all over it, and then, as he gasps his last breathe, he will perhaps look at his own blood, on his own hands and understand the seriousness of his offense.
Right, just have the State Dept. pick him up and deliver him gifted wrapped.
I'd like to hear is defense, but of course, we don't do such things. Even though we did have secret overseas prisons for enhanced interrogation techniques.(probably still do)

Even though we did have secret overseas prisons for enhanced interrogation techniques.(probably still do)A few yrs ago I was awatching a tv show about a sherriffs dept sending gift certificates to folks with warrants that had been slipping through the cracks. They offered em massage packages and facials and grand prizes.
Well, they'd dress the folks up( ironically in a jail striped bathrobe, and get them their facial, and lead them to the massage room which happens to have been a detention room. Think some of these folks were complaining that they were gonna miss the grand prize drawing. One of the deputies asked to see his ticket, and when he matched it to his list, he say, yeah youve won it. And here it is. Or something to that effect.
So I cant decide if the Iranian or Eqyptian intel is not capable of making such a coup. Send the man an entry form to win a luxury vacation in Greece(his name sounds very Greek to me), then have him border a plane bound for Afganistan.
Hi all,
I'm sorry, and I imagine there will be some who disagree, but these tactics that Mr. Jones in Florida uses and the group at Westboro use are one and the same.
GOD HAS NEVER CALLED US TO ATTACK OTHER FAITHS, RELIGIONS OR BELIEFS! NEVER!!
We are commanded to teach the truth in love. We don't have to tell people that Muhammed is a false prophet to say that Jesus is the Son of God. We don't have to attack islam to say that Jesus is the only way of salvation. All we are called to do is teach the truth in love. We are to be respectful of all people. We are to be considerate of all people. We are to teach the truth in love.
Too many 'christians' have decided that the way to teach the truth is to attack the lies! NO!!!! Just teach the truth in love and leave it to the one who is responsible for opening the eyes of the blind and the ears of the deaf to do His job.
It is a disgrace to God that the Westboro group tries to use such tactics as engender hate among people to preach Jesus. It is a disgrace to God that this film created to attack islam is considered a right way to teach others about Jesus. The Scriptures say that those who are against us should have nothing bad to say about us because of our love and gentleness, and yet we, through tactics such as this give them plenty of bad things to say about us.
I'M SORRY, BUT I BELIEVE ALL SUCH PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE THE SPIRIT OF GOD WITHIN THEM, BECAUSE HE WOULDN'T ALLOW SUCH AN IDEA TO GROW AND COME TO FRUITION AMONG THOSE WHOM HE INDWELLS.
What was the deal with the Crusades, then?
