There is no greater action than that" Your making much ado about a common event in history. Sending sons and daughters off to die is old hat in this world. 'If He should, for example, tell us to love one another, not to murder, not to fornicate, not to commit adultery, etc., and should we in our arrogance ignore Him to do these things" There's all kinds of things the bible tells us to do, but we pick and choose what is important, and it changes with every generation. Look, the Bible condones extramaritial sex for married men, but not for married women. But we don't follow the Bible's example, in that regard, anymore. "perhaps the lion’s share of those who committed the sins you’ve mentioned, never were Christians at all, though they claimed to be." Then it is fair for me to say you are not a Christian, even though you say your are. "God Who has the Power to use injustice to bring innocent people to Himself." How do you know? Oh yes, because the Bible tells you so... "The murder helps condemn the unrepentant murderer" Is the pilot of a attack aircraft dropping bombs on innocent civilians an "unrepentant murderer" too. Or is it right sometimes and wrong others.... you decide. "these alleged "Christians" are all being condemned. You have no authority to demand that God should do otherwise." I'm not demanding anything of God, however, you are. "Lastly, you undoubtedly wish to ridicule God because you think He did nothing while many innocents died." I know he did nothing. "I am living in your dark age, and shinning light into it" Get off you high moral horse, it's very sickening. Your statement shows you know nothing. "only because heathens really cannot understand the Scriptures." I see you don't, does that make you a heathen too?
