An example, Bush justifies a war on terror that only causes more terror. This is supporting an evil deed. Furthermore, it seems clear that he has lied, considering that the threat of Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq seems completely fabricated to justify an unjust war.It's easy to look at something like WW II and be critical of the Allies for bombing Dresden or Hiroshima. But how did those conflicts, start; who was responsible?
Many of the evil regimes over the millenia have one thing in common: a tyrant for whom every evil act possible is justified- lying, stealing, murdering; anything contrary to what God wants. Adolph Hitler, Idi Amin, Saddam Hussein, Osama Bin Laden all subscribe to the same immoral code- a code that is only honoured by one entity- satan himself.
So they are all soldiers of the devil, who have no respect for anything good. Christians are a humble lot, always willing to forgive and forget, and to see the good in someone. But we need to be careful not to be fooled by these soldiers of the devil who have nothing but evil on their hearts, but will do anything they can to convince us otherwise.
In John 8, Jesus gave us an example of how we should recognize and confront evil when he bluntly told the Pharisees:
44You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
Think about this the next time you see a world leader lying through his teeth, and supporting all manner of evil deeds, and ask yourself: who is his commander?. You should ask that question of anyone you run across that justifies evil and is unrepentent: a lier, a fornicator, a murderer, a thief, all have the same thing in common: they all think that evil deeds are o.k, because they all follow the devil.
