Does the Father will that those who are given the power to do so protect the ones entrusted to them?
So its not the Father's will that we recognize Jesus as Lord and Son of God? Jesus pointed to his disciples as he said that in Matthew. Jews are generally not his disciples, but youre saying they are doing His will and so are with Him. Is there an alternative path to be with God that doesnt involve Jesus?....
Those who do the Father's will are with Him (Matthew 12:48-50).
Your feeling is unsubstantiated. No one has written that all Palestinians deserve to be killed in this conflict. If we agree that Israel is prosecuting a just war of self-defense then we also agree that Isarel has an obligation to minimize the loss of innocent lives -- Palestinian and Israeli.I expect so. I also expect that power should be used to minimize the loss of life and not as an excuse to write off all Palestinians as deserving of death....which is the feeling I get from reading some posts here....

Im not trying to poke holes in the Bible. Im just very skeptical when people excerpt individual lines seemingly out of context to support this or that position in contemporary events.
Come on. We're talking about today, and the Judaism of contemporary Israel does not generally include Jesus."Jews are generally not his disciples"? All of Jesus disciples were Jews. In its early days, Christians were considered as another sect of Judaism.
I know others would say that the Bible spells out limits on what God has arranged and would point to verses saying clearly that faith in Jesus is a non-optional part of whatever path works. Im not a Christian so my view doesnt really count, but fwiw I see the Bible as written and edited by men - even if they were apprehending truths about God. And so it cannot capture everything about God or his plans . How could it?Christians believe the ordinary way for men to come to salvation is through His Church. We cannot limit God and so also believe He may have extraordinary ways for men to come to Him. He meets us where He finds us.
I think this discussion warrants another thread.Come on. We're talking about today, and the Judaism of contemporary Israel does not generally include Jesus.

I'm not surprised. I was just waiting for Israel to start taking out these people.Hamas on Tuesday accused Israel of killing Saleh al-Arouri, a top leader of the group, along with two commanders from its armed wing, the Qassam Brigades. Mr. al-Arouri is the senior-most Hamas figure to be killed since Israel vowed to destroy the organization and eliminate its leadership after a deadly Hamas-led attack on Oct. 7.
Mr. al-Arouri was assassinated in an explosion in a suburb of Beirut, Lebanon’s capital, marking the first such assassination of a top Hamas official outside the West Bank and Gaza in recent years.
....
Mr. al-Arouri played a key role in Hamas’s relationships with its regional allies and in increasing Hamas’s military capabilities, according to regional and Western officials. A longtime Hamas operative, he was one of the founders of the group’s armed wing and was linked to a number of attacks on Israeli civilians, including the kidnapping and killing of three teenagers in the West Bank in 2014, which he called a “heroic operation.”
Top Hamas Official Is Killed in Lebanon as Fears Grow of a Wider War
The Israeli government would not comment on the death of Saleh al-Arouri. But a U.S. official said to expect Israel to assassinate Hamas officials “for years.”www.nytimes.com
Did you mean, Australia, Canada, The US, The UK, France, Italy, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, or Israel?There's only one country that needs to recognise it.
Not a country, but rather a population.Did you mean, Australia, Canada, The US, The UK, France, Italy, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, or Israel?
Certainly the IDF has mutilated and killed innocent Palestinians.The "disproportionate" comment seems to be true. The IDF has not raped, mutilated, kidnapped or murdered innocent Palestinians.
Do you have evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that the IDF mutilated the dead bodies of innocent Palestinians?Certainly the IDF has mutilated and killed innocent Palestinians.

You have frequently described this as a war. Murder is not really applicable. However, if you insist that Hamas murdered innocent Israelis, then yes the IDF has murdered innocent Palestinians.Do you have evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that the IDF murdered innocent Palestinians?
Sources? Are those locations compromised by the presence of Hamas fighters or its war-making materials?Bombs are being dropped on houses, schools, refugee camps and markets. Many who are not killed outright are nonetheless mutilated.
In war, the targeting and killing of innocents is murder. Hamas committed murders on Oct. 7, 2023. There is no evidence that the IDF did the same.You have frequently described this as a war. Murder is not really applicable. However, if you insist that Hamas murdered innocent Israelis, then yes the IDF has murdered innocent Palestinians.
Where is your evidence the IDF has murdered anyone? The general prosecution of war is not murder, regardless of who is being killed. Hamas absolutely murdered innocent people.Bombs are being dropped on houses, schools, refugee camps and markets. Many who are not killed outright are nonetheless mutilated.
More than 1,000 children had undergone leg amputations, sometimes more than once or on both legs, by end-November, according to U.N. children's agency UNICEF, in a conflict where Gaza health authorities say nearly a quarter of injuries are among children.
You have frequently described this as a war. Murder is not really applicable. However, if you insist that Hamas murdered innocent Israelis, then yes the IDF has murdered innocent Palestinians.
First of all what is your evidence they were innocent. Second of all if they are what's your evidence that there were no Hamas combatants or supporters present and the IDF knew that?Certainly the IDF has mutilated and killed innocent Palestinians.
