Since more children and people have been killed by Israel than in the terrorist attack, should they stop?

Be blessed and encouraged in him ❤️

Is bombing apartment buildings and etc a war any more than the terrorists who killed innocent people in Israel was a war? Also, what is the Christian position on this? Some preachers say we must pray for 'Israel' and support it, as well as the massive revenge happening, ??
In that line of thinking, the Nazis should have been allowed go on, and the Jews wiped out. Evil will never stop till Christ comes and the wicked are destroyed..

Blessings and thank you for your concern sister. :). It's been a busy and stressful time, my daughter got married in the next month after Dad passed away, and I'm having some health problems on top of it all....tinnitus getting worse, as well as probable diverticulitis (first appt with specialist coming up end of the week to start looking into whatever is going on), and I don't often sleep that great as well. Oh the joys of aging...well I can't complain, I had a good run health wise for my whole life up until recent times. (But if I could choose one thing for God to heal right now, it would be the tinnitus!)

Will be praying.
I too have the dratted "ringing "in the ears, have had for about 15 yrs. It's very annoying and distracting. I'm praying the last trump will be so loud as to blow out my ears.
Congrats on your daughter's Wedding. Soon their will be those beautiful grands to love and spoil.
Yes when this body starts falling apart, seems it's one thing after another. I'd love to be 30 again .....lol

Interpreting with Man's paradigm, one concludes violence and force.

Asking HOW is a distraction. The result of Christ's return is explicit; death to the enemies of Israel.

18 You can eat the flesh of kings, rulers, leaders, horses, riders, free people, slaves, important people, and everyone else.”
Not even a good attempt at distraction.

The sharp sword, interestingly, from his mouth....what could that be?
Ruling with a rod of iron....hmmmm, and what would that be?

Interpreting with Man's paradigm, one concludes violence and force. Is that what Jesus demonstrated when he walked the Earth?......and what do we with, 'Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and tomorrow' ?

....one more thing, prediction does equal causation.

I know I'm preaching to the choir, but I wonder if it was the will of God for Christ to be taken forcibly to the Sanhedrin. :)

No, not until they are saved and GOD restores them to that land.
Hate to let you in on a not so secret secret- God has already started restoring Israel to their land which always has belonged to them. God never revoked the land of Israel from the people of Israel. He has scattered them (for now) but regather them in their land-not a land that belongs to someone else.
I am not too strong on the history. But if people were forced out of their lands I can see how they would be sore.
They were forced out by their fellow Muslims! They told them to flee so that the five armies prepared to attack could wipe out every jew! Many Palestinians live in peace in Israel and are not forced out. the only people forced out of homes are those families who have Hamas members or intifada or Hezbollah.

Israel acepted the 1947 partition by the UN- the Muslims refused and went to war. There was no nation there called Palestine! That non-existent Palestinian state never had Jerusalem as a capitol. Jerusalme was captured from the Jordanians. But being ticked off about a made up offense is still not an excuse to become guerilla terrorists and butcher babies and elderly and mothers.
The bible promises that for Israel if I recall. Not for everyone. Christians have persecution and etc here. But as soon as the saved nation of Israel is born, in the end, they will have their nation and protection! (sadly I don't think that includes the vast majority of them who the bible says will be killed before that)
During teh tribulation (Daniels 70th week) 2/3 of all Jews will be killed, and the one third left will get saved. but that does not mean the land is not theirs now- for it is by Covenant.
Not at all. I never even asked Muslims whether they agreed with blowing up apartments. Couldn't care less what they think on that one.
So you don't care how they fight? They give no warnings like Israel does to allow innocents to flee.
Well in every war there are civilians who die. but I would not trust Hamas media at all! they keep people in apartments where they hide to try to not get killed because Israel and the US dislike immensely collateral deaths. that is why our nations use precision guided bombs to minimize non combatants deaths. Hamas and the fellow butchers of Islam just launch 1,000's of unguided rockets and could care less who dies.
Not at all. I think ANY nation should kill terrorists where they stand. That does not mean nuking people or attacking heavily populated civilian areas of course.
When the terrorist use their own people as human shields or that most of the people help and support the terrorists. this hatred has been going on since Isaac and Ishmael and Jacob and Esau! When God sent Israel into its land- He ordered them to wipe out all the people- women and children also- for they were evil.
I know Him, so I know that He had just reasons. We can't say the same for any nation or person though.
So to you God was mistaken when He said in Romans 13 that governments do not carry the sword in vain?
Not at all. I think ANY nation should kill terrorists where they stand. That does not mean nuking people or attacking heavily populated civilian areas of course.
Unless of course they are hiding among the civilians that hate your nation and hope for genocide. Then you won't kill them for you can't tell them apart! The problem lies in you can't tell a terrorist from a normal civilian because they fight dirty- no uniforms and fight from neighborhoods, schools and hospitals
No way. Like that old song about 'God damn the pusher man'! God damn the terrorists and they deserve death as far as I can tell.
UNless they co mingle among the civilians who support them, then you will not kill them if you are the Israeli PM.
You nor Israel are God. Israel is not even in belief. They have no privilege to pretend they are God.
Neither are you. Nor do you speak for Him. I know I am not god and Israel knows it is not God. If the thugs and butchers hadn't started this war- there would be no civilian deaths.
Children are a gift of God ordained by God. When a nation kills His precious little ones we know they are not of God. We ought to obey God rather than man.
Children are born with a sin nature. We are born alienated from God. No one is saved automatically as a child then lose their salvation at some mythical "age of accountability" so that they have to get saved again. that is the bible. Yes children are precious and should be protected. War stops that on both sides.

Remember Israel targets enemy strongholds and warns people to flee before they start bombing. If the Palestinians really did not want to have a war- they would end the hatred and genocidal teaching against Israel.

Israel has not started one war since they became a nation again in their own land.
Then some of their education is bad. That is a surprise? In the west they teach them not to be able to know the difference between man and woman and to kill babies and etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc. Bad education is not limited to Gaza.
Well we are talking about the evil of Gaza and the Muslim people. If you want to to talk about the evils of American teaching, that is a topic for another thread. But Muslim children are indoctrinated from the earliest ages to hate and seek to kill Jews. The kids are even taught how to fight as Muslim soldiers in grammar schools! Let keep to the subject of this thread and not throwe rabbit trails to distract from the issue of this thread.

YOu would not take a fight to where the terrorists are hiding if civilians are there who refused to leave when given the chance.
That was not a story about a secular people.
Israel is still Gods people. god made ETERNAL COVENANTS with them. Now I know America loves ot redefine words but eternal still means forever. As a nation they are temporarily set aside until the full number of Gentiles come in, then God will fulfill His promiese He made to His people!

Yes I have and if you had you might realize WHEN that happens.
Hope you nor your loved ones are in this group!

Zechariah 14
12 And this shall be the plague with which the LORD will strike all the people who fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh shall dissolve while they stand on their feet, Their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets, And their tongues shall dissolve in their mouths.

In the last years the world will be killing believers in Jesus. Jews and others. That is what will bring them peril. Those who are kind to them, give then water etc will be rewarded. As for Israel the country, God will not be protecting them until they chose to accept Him.
I think you are cursing your loved ones for attacking Israel.

Here is one take on the Christian position, and remember this is new testament:

Rom 13:1

Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:

For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.

Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

Of course we as believers are not to judge or wish suffering or death upon anyone, we are to show the love and mercy of Christ in the midst of suffering, however we must remember that God is sovereign over all and is ruling/judging in this world. Governments in this world have a right and duty to protect their citizens and country, and act in their own best interests when it is just to do so.
That verse was not about soldiers slaughtering women and babies.

No worries, we will be taken up to be with Jesus forever long before that. You see, in the very end (when that prophesy is talking about, in case that is news to you) God again will be dealing with Israel. Though most of them will be killed, finally they all will get saved. That is the time He defends them. The secular Israel today is a very different story.

Chosen?

You say you are God's chosen,
and the apple of His eye?
As you maim and kill the mothers,
and let the babies die!

Will you blast away their houses,
turn their cities into dust,
Then starve the poor survivors,
because you think you're just?

You say that God is with you,
that He sends you to destroy?
Well I say that you're a liar,
and it's Satan who's your boy!

For though your prophets bless you,
and your judges all agree
God in Heaven fights against you!
He has heard the needy's plea!

You say you are God's people,
nevermore to be believed
In the synogogue of Satan,
Till the end you'll stay decieved!

I assume you mean me, because I do not accept that blowing up civilians is cool. Neither does God. Relax
But you defend Hamas who slaughtered children to start all this!

Genesis 12:3
3 I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you;
One day all the families of the earth will be blessed in His seed. Not now. The same is true for the first part of the verse.

Genesis 12:3
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

God did not curse Babylon for taking them captive. He used them. The future time when He blesses them forever as a nation and people is after they get saved. In the meantime they do not speak for God in any way, or act for Him or represent Him. They are not eligible for Good to restore them to the land and protect then either until they are saved in the end. They have lost their position until they get right with God. Christians speak for Good now. The gospel is given to us. We bear His message to the world now. The land being given was conditional on their obedience. Those who believe in the end will get the land. God will THEN give it to them. In no way does that verse mean that we must accept their appropriating some of that land themselves while they are far from God in unbelief.
