[QUOTE="strathyboy, post: 225186, member: 538"] Can you exlain this statement? At what point have I been silent regarding modern day genocides? Apparently you have not read my previous posts in which I addressed some issues of which you speak. I am all in favour of waging war in order to protect the weak. In these cases, the US is the strong, and many other nations in which they have fought (Kuwait, Somalia, Yugoslavia, etc.) could be regarded as weak. Jesus said "whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers, this you do unto me". Now this verse is a big double-edged sword. It means that an unjustified war, or any of the atrocities committed by various nations, could be seen as an action against Jesus himself. But it also means that we who have the means to do so must bear some responsibility for those without the means to defend themselves and provide for themselves. If you would stand aside and watch as your "brother" is hurt or killed, what does this say about what you might do to Jesus himself? Here are a few verses along this line of thought... Acts 20:35 - I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. Romans 15:1 - We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 1 Timothy 1:18 - This charge I commit to you, Timothy, my son, in accordance with the prophetic utterances which pointed to you, that inspired by them you may wage the good warfare.
