[Boudi]

So one is to close there eyes or ignore the fact that the state is justified according to the New Testament in using the sword to destroy those that are doing evil. No, that's a view of one who can't distiguish between the states responibilty and Christ's instuctions to us for our day to day lives. You prefer Christ's message of love. I prefer that as well but I will not do so while ignoring the fact that we have to live in the REAL world that unfortunately has evil and evil people. The Bible instructs us on this reality in the book of Romans and CLEARLY instucts the Christian on the states use of the sword. God didn't wish for sin to enter the world but through our actions it has. God does not ignore the reality and it is dealt with plainly for us all to understand. If the state gets a pass on protecting us and destroying those that do evil, who has that task? No, God requires the state to do the job on our behalf, no dancing around that, it's to plainly spelled out in Romans.

Boudi, Pakistan indeed had the responsability to take out Osama but it has chosen to hide and protect him. Not all their leaders. But if you knew anything about the reality over there you would understand that some miltary brass are hard core Taliban supporters. Osama's network and the Taliban are brothers in evil. Osama will never be able to plan yours nor my demise ever again. Our leaders did their job on our behalf and not in contradition to the New Testament.

Jan you tossed me an atheist site I've seen before. They put up a long list of supposed contradictions. Please pick one and let's have a go.

Again you seem to be clutching onto this new found small bit of scripture and are builfding your whole opinion on it, in spite of the fact that yopu never seemed to know about it a few days ago, using tables as justification! You now rely on the state, but Jesus spoke about us changing as individuals, he was dismissive of the idea of state, as he showed in his render unto Caesar.  Jesus was more bothered with our personal commitment to God.

Could youplease provide me with the evidence you have that shows Pakistan had knowledge, when of course you provide uis with the evidence for all the weapons you claim Bin Laden had to hand.....

You're right that Bin Laden can't plan another attack....doyou really think it's over?

Can you also explain why one American 'authority' insisted on putting the Nazis on trial, and that was right, yet another authority assasinates, without trial, and that's right???
