To: Madam Theophilus
As a Christian, I believe the Lord is in control of history.

While I'm quite sure that in your case, Madam, that is a genuine and righteous belief, it is in many other cases the excuse of the sluggard and the battle cry of the coward.

In any event, generally speaking the Lord allows us to get involved in history and on occasion has even encouraged it. Nor would all our efforts thwart or diminish his control; no harm no foul, eh?

Exactly correct Madam.

While I'm quite sure that in your case, Madam, that is a genuine and righteous belief, it is in many other cases the excuse of the sluggard and the battle cry of the coward.

Also exactly correct. When Israel came into the promised land they KNEW that God would give them the land. Yet they also KNEW that they would have to get into the battle and swing their swords.

God gives us one free gift - Salvation. The rest of His blessings almost always require us to do something. At the least we have to go gather them in (Manna in the desert for example)

In any event, generally speaking the Lord allows us to get involved in history and on occasion has even encouraged it. Nor would all our efforts thwart or diminish his control; no harm no foul, eh?

Again exactly correct.

I believe the moslem problem will be resolved in one of two ways. Either (1) the Lord will come back (after sending His spirit to convert many more moslems than are converted today) and take us home and send them to judgement or ...

(2) we will be forced to eradicate everything moslem on earth. Man, woman, child, anything that has been contaminated by islam. This will be done out of self defense or defense of innocents (Killing someone who is about to send others into hell by killing them before their time is a good thing).

Islam has clearly demonstrated that it is unwilling, indeed incapable of living peacefully with civilization. We will have war as long as islam exists. So like any cancer it must be destroyed.

The biblical parallel is the nations that infested the promised land before Israel arrived there. God commanded them to utterly destroy those peoples (so that they would not infect Israel). The times when Israel disobeyed and did not utterly destroy the cancer caused endless problems for Israel as the people did infect Israel with their sin.

If the Lord is returning soon we probably won't see a world war against islam. If He is not the war will result with either the death of every last Christian, or the death of every last moslem. The koran leaves no room for any other ending. And since we know that God always wins, the moslems will all cease to exist one way or another.

(And to be totally honest I don't really care how they cease to exist, whether by conversion or by death, as long as they cease to exist. A moslem convert can NEVER be trusted as their scriptures COMMAND them to lie if they can gain advantage by it. It truly is a satanic religion)

well stated...

having walked most of my life in darkness, it took all of that cumulative experience to reach where i am today...

i would be a fool to believe that the rest of the human 'world' that exists in that same darkness, is immune from the effects of a 'come to jesus' moment...

maybe that moment arises from lookin at the muzzle of my rifle, who knows except the Lord...I *cant* harm His people even if I try...
