Rockets and Missiles lights up the Skies in "Israel," Bloodshed, Violence and Children cry, buildings crumbles

@Downunder -- the Book of Isaiah is full of Lots of material. I wouldn't attempt to discuss it Other than Isaiah 7:14 "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign; Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel." Which does come to pass in Matthew 1:21 - 24 in particular vs 23. and read chapter 53 particularly vs 6.
 
Praying for Israel, the innocent, and those who need Christ.
I thought Jesus died for Sinners and not the innocent. He died for thieves, murders, Homosexuals, bad husbands, bad wives, drunks, Rapists,
Luke 5:31,32
And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick…
 
@PloughBoy -- a person needs to acknowledge their personal need For salvation before they Can be saved. It's Also true that a person needs to be able to distinguish right from wrong. Small children and those mentally unable to are 'innocent' -- God's grace covers them. Then again , some mentally impaired adults Can be led to Christ. It's up to Us to be willing To share.

We Also have John 3:16. God so loved/s the World that He gave.

I will eventually get to the place of praying for the ones who bombed Israel and still attacking it. I saw 3000 laughs of a woman with her child hiding in a bathroom with aerial bomb attacks happening... And doctors holding newborn babies in a maternity ward while fire reigned overhead in Israel with about the same amount. This was on this Israel page on Facebook. The most hateful comments and emoticons... My heart is for Israel and the people there and for the innocent. I see the evil and do not see the people committing it right now. It is just where I am at in this area. I don't care who started it or whatever.
 
I am going to be hated for saying this: concerning "John 3;16" Is "GOD so Loved the "COSMOS" that He gave His only begotten SON that whosoever believes in Him...etc.

New American Standard Bible
“For God so loved the world [COSMOS], that He gave His only Begotten Son, so that everyone[benefits] who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life."


"It did not say: for God so loved The people, that He gave His only SON" and whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal.

GOD loved The whole Universe for it is The "Cauldron" FOR The making and instrument That will Produce The Creation and The Manifestation of THE GLORY of GOD, that will be Manifested , Throughout Eternity! For has HE design before The foundations of The COSMOS for this to happen, All the stars, planets, The Galaxies, The Solar Systems, The Airways, The Mountains, The Oceans and The Seas, all things both visible and invisible. even The wicked, Is all to The GLORY of GOD! It is what this "COSMOS" will produce, That is why GOD so LOVED THE "COSMOS" for what it is going to "produce"! "The Things that is To Come"

For with the universe and how GOD has design it, It supports mankind. every piece of the puzzle is in place. And the Bible says:

New American Standard Bible(Isaiah 40)
All the nations are as nothing before Him, They are regarded by Him as less than nothing and meaningless.
Daniel 4:35
All the peoples of the earth are counted as nothing, and He does as He pleases with the army of heaven and the peoples of the earth. There is no one who can restrain His hand or say to Him, 'What have You done?'"
(1 Corinthians 3)BSB
"For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness.” And again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are FUTILE.” Therefore, stop boasting in men. All things are yours,:pensive:
(Romans 8).NLT
"For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are. Against its will, all creation was subjected to God’s curse. But with eager hope, the creation looks forward to the day when it will join God’s children in glorious freedom from death and decay. For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. And we believers also groan, even though we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, for we long for our bodies to be released from sin and suffering. We, too, wait with eager hope for the day when God will give us our full rights as his adopted children, including the new bodies he has promised us. We were given this hope when we were saved." [or knowing about this hope when GOD reveal it to us, through "Jesus Christ" our LORD"]

I know, most think they have "Contribute" to their "Salvation". And It hurts when you know the "Truth".:confounded: We cannot Boast, "The Truth" will bring tears to your eyes, That Only a GOD, can wipe alway.:pensive:


To my Only, Brothers and Sisters who are in "Christ".

By your comments, I can tell you hate reading how God did Israel through out the "Old Testament" and all of the Harsh and Filthy Names he called them, I know you were "Appalled" how GOD did them. Through out the Old testament! i know you cried and you cried when you read The Book. :pensive:

God rescued Israel from Egypt and showed much patience with them throughout the OT. I do not care to discuss the significance of Israel with you. I am just called to pray for them.

But no matching compassion for mothers and babies on the Palestinian side?
 
I said the innocent for a reason. I am not sure what sort of discussion/debate y'all want me in here, but Im not responding anymore.
I think I may have mis-read your post the first time around. I first thought you were saying you were concerned only for people being bombed on the Israeli side of the conflict. Second reading, and I now think you meant people on both sides.

For clarity, I'm strongly opposed to those promoting and profiting from violence on both sides. Praying for the victims on both sides.

I really don't even know the geography of who lives where in Palestine, Gaza, Gaza strip, etc. Why I mainly just read the news. World is just crazy. But yeh. Praying for the innocent victims on both sides. I do not get war. I know sometimes it is necessary, but never understood the situation in the middle east and not trying to right now. I just saw the hate on Facebook last week. Too fast for the admin probably to even ban them all right then... It just has a powerful effect on you when you see something like that. It is probably the worst thing I ever saw as far as how evil the human nature can be

Unfortunately there are those who have no heart for women / children. In war time and maybe in peaceful times, there Are those who seem to have no conscience. A natural cruelness in their nature. But, then again, we All have been born with the propensity For sinning. Children have to be taught to share and no Not bite, etc. It's just hard to see that kind of behavior in adults who are Supposed to know better. Supposed to have Compassion for others. Especially women and children.

But we Also remember the Holocost -- the Jews and what happened to them. It seemed outrageous that people could treat other people that way. But , some people groups, have been considered as 'not really people'. God really did create all of us.
 
According to the book: "The ACTS of The Apostles", He spoke to The Jewish people:

“Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”
He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight."

Just because, one may read this, does not mean that person can understand this "TRUTH"! For this TRUTH is also HIDDEN in "Christ JESUS" and Just because you have the HOLY GHOST indwelling you, still does not mean, you understood this "TRUTH"! He only reveals it, to whom please.
 
@PloughBoy -- in your last sentence -- you're treading on very questionable grounds. Apparently you feel you are a 'special' person that He reveals things to. There's a passage about Scripture not being given to private interpretation.
 
I pray that the God of all creation, YHVH, the ONE and ONLY TRUE GOD, by the power of HIS HOLY SPIRIT changes the the hearts and minds of all those in this lost and hurting world to come to repentance and put their faith trust and rest in our Savior and Lord JESUS CHRIST. Amen.

It is not for you to understand my last sentence and the words I speak concerning "Christ Jesus", And i do not expect you to understand,. for they are a strange collection of words to you. :pensive: So it is useless for you to understand them. Yes that is the same "reason" they "Crucified' Jesus, because He proclaim that He "was "The SON of GOD" and had the nerve to think that he was a special person! And That GOD revealed things to Him. "Can any good thing come out of "Nazareth":pensive: asked "Nathaniel".
(John 1 )BSB
"Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the One Moses wrote about in the Law, the One the prophets foretold—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” Nathanael asked.“Come and see,” said Philip. When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, He said of him,Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceit.”…

And as far as Judging another man's servant:

American Standard Version
"Wherefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and then shall each man have his praise from God."

American Standard Version
"Who art thou that judgest the servant of another? to his own lord he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be made to stand; for the Lord hath power to make him stand."

I am standing on "THE ROCK" and That Rock is Jesus, "The Son of The Living GOD! And That Rock is not "Questionable"! But ALL other ground is "Sinking Sand".:pensive: AND I cannot stand on The Color of My SKIN! I am a Black man in American,, and I have the"Scars" to prove it and I cannot wipe them away!

"But I see another law at work in my body, warring against the law of my mind and holding me captive to the law of sin that dwells within me. What a WRETCHED man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?"

I still feel the the pain and the wounds in my being, My mother , my father, my grandmother, my GrandFather, and my own children ,I feel the pain what they have suffered for the color of their skin! Let alone the suffer ing of Life! Do i think i am special, do I think i am better than any one, "Absolutely" No! I am a Black man in "America" that have Black Children. And American and Christianity let me know who i am. The most "Segregated DAY" in America is "SUNDAY Morning" in "The Christian Church". and they love it that way! Like many have said: I am no more than "ANGRY Black Man" that lives in America and needs to be lock up! And my speech is nothing but "Hate Speech". for speaking the "TRUTH".

For I am not special, and I know it.:pensive: For i am a "sinner'. "A Child of The Living GOD" who have been treated like a dog in the street with tears running my eyes. For you do not want to know my stories. FOR many will must likely label me as a Liar and that the Truth is not in me. For I am a Black MAN in American and have been treated badly because of The color of My skin! From my youth into old age! And I still feel the pain! For you may call me bitter, what does it matter to me! I can read, and I know, I know how to READ the BIBLE. For GOD himself has taught me how, in pain and tears! for i do not trust a man and I have good reasons not too!

If i am on dangerous ground, it is not new to me! The most fearful creature I a have every know on the earth form a child is "The Caucasian Homo Sapien" and they have let me know it. By the way they have treated me from time i have been young child.

But when came to Christ at 26 years old, then He taught me, about Him and HIs Glory. For I became a "NEW Creature" much more that a mere Black man walking this earth. And Jesus went to prepare a Placed for me and He called me, by my Name, And said: That I was His Child! It blew my mind, for all my life "I was label nothing more than the N word. And believe it! and He chose me! and I didn't chose HIM! So do i think I am better, than the christians of this world and the people of this world, again "Absolutely" Not!

And GOD knows how i feel, and no man can change or comforted me or change or encourage on this path "But Jesus Alone" and if not, so be it. He is The Potter and I am the Clay. For He is GOD all by himself.:pensive:

For many have said; we miss the good old days::eyes: in my silence, wondering what days are they talking about.

For my life was hopeless without Jesus is this world as a Black Man no matter how smart i was, They only promoted "Black Tokens" and they let me know it to my face. There was no laws to defend us and some of our parents was afraid to speak on our behave. :pensive:

All of what you have experienced in life, and others like you simply because of the level of melanin in your skin, is called EVIL. Plain and simple. EVIL.

Man has been evil from the beginning of the fall, and his evil continues to this day. I'm not writing this to make you feel better and I'm not writing this to make me feel better. I'm writing it because it's the truth. Tough luck if you can't handle it.

When God created Adam and Eve, those two had the DNA of every conceivable combination that can possibly exist. No one knows what pigment skin Adam and Eve had, but whatever it was, it was perfect for God created it. When you see a brown lab and a yellow lab procreate, their pups can be brown or yellow or both. Adam and Eve procreated and out came the black man, and out came the white man, and the brown man, and all the pigments in between black and white.

At Babel, God confounded man's language, which caused man to leave and spread out in many different directions: N, S, E, W, NE, NW, SE, SW, NNW, NNE, SSW, SSE, etc. Did climate have anything to do with skin pigmentation? Or was it skin pigmentation that led certain people to certain climates? I believe that skin pigmentation led people to the directions they headed and climate played a role later. Either way, the skin pigmentation I have, and the skin pigmentation you have, are the results of the DNA given to our first grandparents by God then passed on from generstion to generation, and that is what makes every one of us related as descendants of First Man and Woman, all made in the image of God and after HIS likeness.

Evil is a shared trait in all humans, and it too comes from our first grandparents, A&E. Now we know we are free because of what God did through HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON and we have the power to keep evil out. Don't let evil crowd your mind.
