Hi Carol,
I am sorry these posts seem so chilldish as they do to me also, but it is critical in importance.I am sure you have read about the attempt to gun my sons and I down going to services and I am sure you know about the Holocaust, anyway this evil needs to be exposed and brought into the light to be brought to an end. When people hear that they use scripture to promote their hatred, they become vulnerable to accepting these attitudes as Gods will. We pray and hope that we can at least through some doubt in minds that God does not hate or condone extermination of people.Including the people He chose to bring forth the Messiah and the Word of God.
Jesus Himself said "do not think I have come to bring peace, no, I have come to bring a sword. Mother against daughter, etc,,, So there is no anticipation of peace until He returns now we are to show His love to the world as His witnesses even those that are evil.In Ezekiel God states that if you do not warn your brother of his error his sin will be upon your head, so we are expected by God to expose the error and most of all pray for them which we do.
Evil is aggresive and will not stop by passiveness and positive attitudes it requires God, His will and His word to destroy evil works.
This verse has meant alot to me through this. Do not be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good. Like I said as long as they are anti-semetic we will be pro-semetic.
