You have to trust man to some extent.
That is not what YHWH , Y'SHUA, or HIS WORD SAYS.
(except after testing/ proving and then still leaning totally on YHWH'S DOING and not on man's --- man is pitifully weak and unreliable)
Those who trust their parents, doctors, teachers, church, government, labor union, scholars! , etc etc etc
instead of trusting YHWH
fail.

You, to some extent trust people every time you conduct business. Every time you interact with people.

The main question is,"Who is the winner in the war if people continue to suffer..under a new and different regime?
This is made clear in the NT.
And for those who have been faithful and true, and not denied Y'SHUA or their faith in YHWH.

Read for good perfect examples FOXES BOOK OF MARTYRS.
as well as SCRIPTURE FIRST ! (HEBREWS, REVELATION)

YHWH'S PEOPLE DIE.

EVERY DAY we are being slaughtered as sheep. Everywhere on earth.

In the United States they do allow people to wear glasses in the service.

Heck they wanted me and I was nearsighted enough that glasses off I would have been unable to tell friend from foe at any distance where a rifle was more appropriate than a pistol.

They do allow people to wear glasses; in fact they provide glasses for basic training.

No.
If you trust people when you interact with people,
this is the worst thing you can do as far as I know.
Trust YHWH completely for everything you hope or expect,
not people - they often fail and cannot guarantee anything anyway.

If someone takes something from you, YHWH says give them something more, and do not expect it back. Bless them.
TRUST YHWH, not people.

Give thanks to YHWH for all that HE ACCOMPLISHES.

NO WHERE does God say that we are to allow people to use and abuse us.

It (the end of an empire) was decided by YHWH, not by the USA.
YHWH raises up who HE WILL,
YHWH brings down who HE WILL, as HE PLEASES.

So the USA and her allies were moral in the eyes of God?

YHWH NEVER SAID THAT.

I'm not trying to call out anyone who chooses to not fight..just beliefs...and philosophies...why do you feel this way?
OT and OT Biblical quotes? NO!They seem to clash...OT is all killing the unbeliever..NT is about Salvation of ALL people..HUGE difference!
Please tell me in your own words what your opinion is
This is made clear in the NT.
And for those who have been faithful and true, and not denied Y'SHUA or their faith in YHWH.

No Bible references please..only your personal thoughts please..

"interpret" as you are using it,
as men have used it for 2000 years,
is totally meant to deceive.

Do not interpret, (do not judge UNrighteously)
but JUDGE (appraise, recognize, LISTEN TO YHWH) RIGHTEOUSLY
as Y'SHUA did and told HIS disciples to do always.

Used it..frequently for their own advancement in society

All of the faithful ecclesia already confirmed all I posted in Scripture; frequently, daily, throughout history they did - like them I did also - I did not take anyone's word for this.
Everything is thoroughly vetted.
First as Y'SHUA'S WORD says : "Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,"
and ALWAYS in line and HARMONY with all of HIS WORD, never contradictory.

I'm sorry if you don't have a BIBLE to read. I will mail one to you if you cannot get one (remember you can usually freely use biblegateway . com ).

Already got several..I don't need a copy of yours..thank you anyway.
BTW,I don't need to subscribe to your version of salvation to be saved.BTW,I already am.

Like how we freed the people of Poland from the oppression of the Nazis only to let Stalin take all of Eastern Europe and the people of China from the oppression of the Japanese only to let millions die under Mao and his five year plans?

I totally agree.

LOOK AGAIN.(HE SAYS SO FREQUENTLY IN HIS WORD.
(why did you change topics too?)
There is a difference between allowing people to abuse you for His name and just flat out abusing you. There is NO reason that a Christian who is being batted for example to just let it happen.

We will just have to agree to disagree.

Did God not ORDER the slaughter of ALL inhabitants of Jerico during a war?
I worship both the OT and NT God...I still can not reconcile the history of both.
You probably need to reconcile them in your mind with Scripture first and not count your perceptions and feelings as accurate. You didn't state why God commanded it be done. Unless that is the focus, instead of that they were killed, you won't be able to even intellectually understand. Another focus is who God is. Should a man receive a more severe punishment for murdering a 5 year old or a murderer on death row? If so, why?

If you had to choose to either save the life of a 5 year old or 100 inmates on death row, which would you choose, and why?

I have no idea why God commanded it to be done..if I did,this thread would be a moot and meaningless waste of band width.
Question...Why did God prohibit man from killing then COMMAND Israel to slaughter untold people...the Bible never stated how many individuals died.
The question is a matter of war..
You question has to do with man's retribution against an individual,not ordering the deaths of masses of people.
