Mariupol Razed to the Ground

[disciple Clint]

Ukraine’s Foreign Minister reports in a 30 second video interview:
Mariupol ‘doesn’t exist anymore’ - Ukraine FM

Could this sort of thing be prevented, if people obeyed Christ’s teaching?

Matthew 5:21 Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:

22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

It might have been prevented if the Biden administration was not so intimidated by Putin's threats and stopped flip flopping on supping the necessary military weapons to the Ukraine.

What would be "the necessary weapons" that Russians couldn't eventually seize a strategically important city mere 60 km from their border ?

A fleet of battlestars ?

What would be "the necessary weapons"

The ones that Trump withheld?

Even though Ukraine destroyed hundreds of tanks, hundreds of vehicles, sank a flag ship using Ukrainian made missiles, killed thousands of soldiers and numerous generals, yet they are in danger of losing the war. Billions of dollars worth of weapons and ammo donated to Ukraine have not stopped Putin. Some will complain Biden spends too much money anyway. It is a wake up call for NATO. Weapons manufacturing is increasing. Sweden and Finland may join NATO.

It could probably been avoided if Russia had not been invaded.

It could probably been avoided if Russia had not been invaded.

You mean Hitler 1941 ? Or Swedes or Mongols ? Somebody else ? Napoleon ?

Since they have thousands of nukes now nobody is going to invade so perhaps they could let the past be.

you find this something to joke about, Unreal, death and destruction and it is a joke, Seriously?

There is no quit in the Ukraine army they are fighting to the last man, too bad we have an administration that is more concerned with funding than preventing war crimes.

It takes funds to send arms. And the US has been funding plenty - 2 Billion dollars by this administration.

How much money would it take to "prevent war crimes"?

how much is standing against oppression and war crimes worth? I hope that is not a serious question you are asking, you need to reflect on the value of money vs the value of human lives.

"Thou shalt not kill" is the fourth commandment in the ten commandments. That was written thousands of years ago, so I think God beat you to the punch

Ahura Mazda, the Zoroastrian deity may have beaten everyone, Zoroastrianism is credited with being the oldest monotheistic religion. It was the faith of very ancient Persians. Zoroaster's dates are not known with certainty, but he could have lived in the 15th century BCE. It's very possible that Judaism picked up much of OT scripture when the ancient Hebrews were exiled in Babylon. This is pasted from the link. Which is a good introduction to Zoroastrian beliefs:

Zoroastrianism is regarded as the first religion to teach monotheism, the belief in one supreme god, a cornerstone belief in Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Judaism is said to have been influenced by Zoroastrianism when the Jews were in exile in Babylon when it was under the rule of the Persians. These influences were passed on to Christianity and Islam.

Many of the personalities and concepts in Judaism and Christianity evolved from Zoroastrianism, The Three Wise Men that visited the new-born Christ in Bethlehem and many of the Persian kings mentioned in the Old Testament were Zoroastrians. The concepts of Satan, angels, monotheism, Messiahs, the final judgment, the Resurrection, the Apocalypse, Heaven and Hell were all introduced by Zoroastrianism.

Have we been watching the same war?

Oops. I mean if Russia had not invaded.

Puh please save the crocodile tears. You are using the same death and destruction to bash Biden administration. Spare me the pleading for moral high ground.

Ah, yes that would have helped.

I daydreamed about a fleet of interstellar battleships coming in and saying "okay enough is enough".

What are you seeing?

 

[FireDragon76]

Did you see where I posted God's disapproval of Cain, in the first family to exist in human history, for murdering his brother?

Most people wouldn't consider Cain an historical figure.

ZOROASTRIANISM | Facts and Details

It's getting a little frustrating people keep quoting the 10 commandments post I did about it being from over 2000 years ago but ignore the follow up about God being in disproval of murder from the first human family ever to exist. Just scroll down a few posts, it's there I can post a link to my reply if you'd like. The first human family will pre-date Zoroastrianism by a long shot.
