Yod, let me be very clear about this. Evil is not republican or democratic. Evil is evil and we must be very careful that we as Christians do not choose politics over right and wrong ourselves as we accuse others of doing.

Where's the outrage at forced abortion in China? Don't both political parties in this country give them most favored nation status?

Face it, the government is not Christian although the Christian religion can come in handy for most politicians at some time or another in their political careers.

The media in general is very liberal in my opinion, with a few exceptions. For the greater part the U.S. media does not report on the positive aspects of the war in Iraq. At some point you have to ask yourself why. If enough negativity is reported concerning the war then perhaps the American people will begin to turn on the president. Isn't this exactly what liberals in this country want?

Yeah Charlie...I'm pretty much in agreement with everything you've said. I don't expect our government to be christian though.

I'm just not buying the hypocritical assaults of the liberals. As if they give a rip about anyone but themselves and regaining political power?

That's why they are out and dying...

I have heard CNN exploiting this issue as if all American soldiers are doing this everywhere.

I have heard people on Fox defending the military...saying this was an isolated incident. Fox has a few liberals....how many conservative views do you get on CNN?

If that ain't liberal bias with an intent to divide us then what is it?

Those pictures are not representive of the US military I am so proud of. Fakes or not they are despicible. And anyone who condones such acts or makes excuses for such things are beyond reproach. Thank God we can be assured this is a small minority of those fighting ffor this country.

And for God's sake stop calling it the liberal media. Fox, CBN, and MSNBC are equally as guilty of propgating that trash on the airwaves. It's distasteful media regardless of the political affiliation. So stop passing the buck to one side or the other. They are all a bunch of sensationalists with deep corporate pockets out to shock and woo the advertisers.

I make a distinction between liberal and conservative, and Democrat and Republican. On can be liberal and yet not be a Democrat, and one can be a conservative without belonging to the Republican party.

Overall the media is liberally bias, in my opinion. :)

The incident was real else our President would not have publically apologized.

What these men did was horrible. When we think of such abuse during war time pictures of what the Jews went through comes to mind. That kind of inhumain, sick treatment makes me want to cry. My heart is broken for the families and those who endured the abuse.

What these soldiers did has cast a dim light on our nation as a whole. It is the little foxes that spoil the vine. You see it only takes a few to cause a major problem. Our other soldiers are now in more danger that they were before. Our missionaries are in more danger. We are a Christian nation. What kind of message does that send to people we want to reach for Christ?

So, we all need to really pray for this situation.

What happened shouldn't be a surprise:

http://www.nytimes.com/2004/05/06/internat...ast/06PSYC.html

When we don't have an ear to God, when there is no accountability, Satan does take over. Another good illustration of this would be from "The Passion" movie by Mel Gibson. Everytime the Saducees and Pharisees or the Roman gaurds became out of control, you could see the satan character walking amongst the mob. Now this _is_ just an illustration, but I believe it is not too far from the truth.

We ultimately need to pray for the families of those who are in the horrible pictures and of course the ones who participated in the horrible acts. God always works a good out of the bad, He is our miracle worker.

You and I are on the same page. As SOON as I saw those pics for the first time, I fell down in prayer before God and begged Him to give those men "healing" in their minds and bodies and grant them the grace to forgive those who did evil to them.

I have asked that God aid those men to forgive because in forgiving, they can find peace for themselves, rather than the torment of painful memories of humiliation.

Charlie...bruh...I'm with you all the way. I was angry and shocked! Why? Because WE'RE better than that!

I expect lowlife behavior from these 3rd world countries devoid of the One, True God...they act according to their flesh.

I expect OUR country to demonstrate restraint and proper protocol according to the Geneva Convention in interrogating prisoners.

Cymba...sorry but the photos are the real deal and Miss Lindy, *the girl with the smoke in her mouth pointing at the Iraqi men* had her photograph taken down from the "wall of honor" at Walmart because of the shame and disgrace she has brought upon our people.

I can't control what others do...those of other nations or countries.

We are responsible for what WE do...those of our people and country. We are accountable!!!

We're not like them and pray we never are ....When we do wrong, we must be accountable for our wrong, confess our sins and make restitution.

Why? Because even when we sin before the whole world, how we respond when confronted with our sin reveals more about our character than anything else.

Others cover things up; if we confess our sins (before even the Arab world) and make restitution, we will at least be seen as a people who don't sit around justifying our sins but rather as those who "own up" to our sins and make what is wrong..right.

We must be held accountable. It doesn't matter one iota if the Arab world never does...We must.

Why? Because God calls us to be accountable. We are STILL one nation UNDER GOD and our God holds us accountable for our sins.

We must make what is wrong right...correct the evils done, make appology and restitution to the victims.

Period.

For what it's worth, they interviewed one poor soul who was horribly humiliated and he'd been arrested simply because he was in a car with another man who was driving a stolen vehicle. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time..and that was his only "sin".

Yet he was horribly abused and humiliated...and tears were in his eyes for the shame he felt.

Nobody's gonna tell me we have any excuse here. We have NONE. This is insane.

No excuses for doing evil...we must be accountable, appologize and humble ourselves and make restitution to those who were harmed. Simple.

We are held to a higher standard because the God our nation is under is the One True God...that's why.

While we are being shocked and upset, we should also be looking into why is this happening and why now.

I do not know how much longer we will be able to call ourselves one Nation Under God; With all the sin that is prevailing forth and turned around to look as right,little by little. :t2: But hey! The Bible prophesied this to come.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this study, I'll be focusing on Daniel and his picture of the resurrection and its connection with Yeshua (Jesus).

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
