The Wicked Bible and the Wicked War

"The choice the US (and other countries) are going to be forced to make is whether we die willingly or we kill those who wish our deaths. We will have to be willing to make martyers of those who seek to impose their religious ideals upon the world in order to stop the terrorism that is being committed in "Allah's" name. Until we are ready to completely stamp out and entire religious belief/culture, there will be no end to this."


I can just imagine Christ telling the apostles to kill those who wished thier death or the apostle Paul telling the gentile christians to kill all the pagans. Think about what you're saying brother. There will never be an end of violence on this earth till Christ comes back. I see no scripture telling Christians to get involved in it though. To the contrary, we are to seperate ourselves from this world for it lieth in wickedness.

 

Pro 16:1 The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, [is] from the LORD.


Pro 16:2 All the ways of a man [are] clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits.


Pro 16:3 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.


Pro 16:4 The LORD hath made all [things] for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.


Pro 16:5 Every one [that is] proud in heart [is] an abomination to the LORD: [though] hand [join] in hand, he shall not be unpunished.


Pro 16:6 By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD [men] depart from evil.


Pro 16:7 When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.


Pro 16:8 Better [is] a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.


Pro 16:9 A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.


Pro 16:10 A divine sentence [is] in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment.


Pro 16:11 A just weight and balance [are] the LORD'S: all the weights of the bag [are] his work.


Pro 16:12 [It is] an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.

 

So God will not hold them in account for wicked behaviour? Afterall, he has always judged wicked nations for thier abominations hasn't he? I wonder what He's got in store for this Christ rejecting baby killing crowd.

 

All unsaved sinners, including government officals will be judged by the law of God. Until you're under the covenant of grace you're under the covenant of works. Face it brother, the "whole world lieth in wickedness" and Washington DC leads the way.

 

The nations will be judged by the Law of God. No they were not given the Mosaic convenant but they will be judged nontheless. They will be judged by God's standard of right-THE LAW, if they do not submit themselves to the end of the law, the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

Deu 9:4 Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee.

Deu 9:5 Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

1689 London Baptist Confession

Chapter 19: Of the Law of God

1. God gave to Adam a law of universal obedience written in his heart, and a particular precept of not eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil; by which he bound him and all his posterity to personal, entire, exact, and perpetual obedience; promised life upon the fulfilling, and threatened death upon the breach of it, and endued him with power and ability to keep it.
( Genesis 1:27; Ecclesiastes 7:29; Romans 10:5; Galatians 3:10, 12 )

2. The same law that was first written in the heart of man continued to be a perfect rule of righteousness after the fall, and was delivered by God upon Mount Sinai, in ten commandments, and written in two tables, the four first containing our duty towards God, and the other six, our duty to man.
( Romans 2:14, 15; Deuteronomy 10:4 )

3. Besides this law, commonly called moral, God was pleased to give to the people of Israel ceremonial laws, containing several typical ordinances, partly of worship, prefiguring Christ, his graces, actions, sufferings, and benefits; and partly holding forth divers instructions of moral duties, all which ceremonial laws being appointed only to the time of reformation, are, by Jesus Christ the true Messiah and only law-giver, who was furnished with power from the Father for that end abrogated and taken away.
( Hebrews 10:1; Colossians 2:17; 1 Corinthians 5:7; Colossians 2:14, 16, 17; Ephesians 2:14, 16 )

4. To them also he gave sundry judicial laws, which expired together with the state of that people, not obliging any now by virtue of that institution; their general equity only being of moral use.
( 1 Corinthians 9:8-10 )

5. The moral law doth for ever bind all, as well justified persons as others, to the obedience thereof, and that not only in regard of the matter contained in it, but also in respect of the authority of God the Creator, who gave it; neither doth Christ in the Gospel any way dissolve, but much strengthen this obligation.
( Romans 13:8-10; James 2:8, 10-12; James 2:10, 11; Matthew 5:17-19; Romans 3:31 )

6. Although true believers be not under the law as a covenant of works, to be thereby justified or condemned, yet it is of great use to them as well as to others, in that as a rule of life, informing them of the will of God and their duty, it directs and binds them to walk accordingly; discovering also the sinful pollutions of their natures, hearts, and lives, so as examining themselves thereby, they may come to further conviction of, humiliation for, and hatred against, sin; together with a clearer sight of the need they have of Christ and the perfection of his obedience; it is likewise of use to the regenerate to restrain their corruptions, in that it forbids sin; and the threatenings of it serve to shew what even their sins deserve, and what afflictions in this life they may expect for them, although freed from the curse and unallayed rigour thereof. The promises of it likewise shew them God's approbation of obedience, and what blessings they may expect upon the performance thereof, though not as due to them by the law as a covenant of works; so as man's doing good and refraining from evil, because the law encourageth to the one and deterreth from the other, is no evidence of his being under the law and not under grace.
( Romans 6:14; Galatians 2:16; Romans 8:1; Romans 10:4; Romans 3:20; Romans 7:7, etc; Romans 6:12-14; 1 Peter 3:8-13 )

7. Neither are the aforementioned uses of the law contrary to the grace of the Gospel, but do sweetly comply with it, the Spirit of Christ subduing and enabling the will of man to do that freely and cheerfully which the will of God, revealed in the law, requireth to be done.
( Galatians 3:21; Ezekiel 36:27 )
