That''''s the whole point, he wasn''''t reading a Bible when he made this decision. He did it on his own, because God has the power to influence His creation to make the decisions according to His Good and perfect will.

Now you ADMIT that god has the power to stop man from committing acts of evil.


Now ask yourself, "Since HE possesses that power, why doesn''t he use it?"


Obviously, he likes evil, and wants to see it thrive and exist.

God uses men (part of His creation) to fulfill His will and His prophecies.

He''''s done this since the beginning of time.

The persecution and slaughter of the JEws before they were given back Israel (the holocaust) was prophecied in the Bible as well.

What you''''re doing is denyin God''''s prophecy and putting His creation in the control of men, which in effect is like telling God "Your will can''''t be done".

But ask yourself, should God''''s will be done, or man''''s?

So god uses man to fulfill his prophesies - because he apparently has the power to use and control "man".

But he cannot control man, to prevent him from committing acts of evil?



What kind of bizarre hypocrisy is that?

Hey if rockets landed randomly in Texas and Arizona we would roll into Mexico, with guns blazing. We have done it before.

What Israel is doing is justified. They should find and slaughter every last Hamas terrorist savage until the terrorist puppeteers they have no choice but to accept the following conditions:

1. Renounce violence
2. Recognize Israel''s right to exist
3. Enter peace talks

When the IRA did that, the terrorism in Northern Ireland basically stopped. By the same token, Hamas is the obstacle to real peace here. They have repeatedly rejected diplomacy, so they should be burned out like the vermin they are, until they change their tune.

There''s no other way.

PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY: %u201CIsrael was not created in order to disappear - Israel will endure and flourish. It is the child of hope and the home of the brave. It can neither be broken by adversity nor demoralized by success. It carries the shield of democracy and it honors the sword of freedom.%u201D

Maybe if from the beginning they had done things right and lived along side the palestinians as friends it could have worked.
They moved in with demands and took some houses away from people and of course we gave them guns.
That would have been the time to say, get along with your neighboors and do it peacefully.
The people who established a state, did they consult with anyone in the region? Just the fact that americans helped them would be suspicious to some.
I am for 2 states, Israel turned a desert in to a living garden, but they could have done more to share their wealth and win hearts and mind, rather than the use of the mighty arms. I like to hang all those who give weapons to the like of Hamas and to those who continually support Israel with our tax money so they can by weapons.

PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN: : %u201CIn Israel, free men and women are every day demonstrating the power of courage and faith. Back in 1948 when Israel was founded, pundits claimed the new country could never survive. Today, no one questions that. Israel is a land of stability and democracy in a region of tyranny and unrest.%u201D

How can you possibly deny the fact that the land was desolate and literally uninhabited (backed up by historical facts from travellers through that land before the Jewish migration, like Mark Twain, for example) for 2,000 years until recent history?

Name one other country in the world that has been exiled for 2,000 years only to reborn as a nation again.

Just one

Posted by Truthin2009 at 08:31 AM : Jan 04, 2009






You''re claiming that it was desolate and uninhabited?!?!


By 1951, the United Nations estimated 711,000 Palestinian refugees existed outside Israel, caused by the 1948 Palestinian exodus!!! Where did those people come from - are you saying they just "materialized" out of nowhere?!?!?




As usual, you''re lying through your teeth and making up "facts" to try and prove your point that the jews are god''s chosen people.


I wonder if "your god" approves of your constant stream of lies?

Levi? - Posted by FloydZeppd

In the Jewish tradition, a Levite (Hebrew: %u05DC%u05B5%u05D5%u05B4%u05D9, Standard Levi Tiberian L%u0113wn ; "Attached") is a member of the Hebrew tribe of Levi. When Joshua led the Israelites into the land of Canaan, the Levites were the only Israelite tribe who received cities but no tribal land "because the Lord the God of Israel himself is their possession".[1] The Tribe of Levi served particular religious duties for the Israelites and had political responsibilities as well. In return, the landed tribes were expected to give tithe to the Levites, particularly the tithe known as the Maaser Rishon or Levite Tithe.

Houses, fields, and vineyards have been bought in that land NOT until recent history.

The Bible predicted this would occur.

For you or anyone else to deny this simply cannot be done because there is no evidence whatsoever to say to the contrary

Posted by Truthin2009 at 08:29 AM : Jan 04, 2009





You present that like that''s "proof"?!?!

You''re kidding right?

Terrorist organizations like Hamas, with their upstart agitation tactics, are a threat to world peace.

Let them all burn.

PRESIDENT HARRY S. TRUMAN: "The question of Palestine as a Jewish homeland goes back to the solemn promise that had been made to them [the Jews] by the British in the Balfour Declaration of 1917 - a promise which had stirred the hopes and the dreams of these oppressed people. This promise, I felt, should be kept, just as all promises made by responsible, civilized governments should be kept."

To leave in peace palestinian have to choose wise politicians; hamas will drive palestinians to tragedy. It is possible to leave in peace, freedom and prosperity. Muslims can live in peace with hebrews. It is possible. Why not understand that? hebrew were there also just before mohamed!live together in peace and don''t listen masters of war!

Typical Muslim whackos, doing their terrorism thing before breakfast. Now you can understand why Israel can''t have peace talks with Hamas or Hezbollah. They are whacko terrorist.

(CBS/AP) A female suicide bomber blew herself up on Sunday among a crowd of pilgrims worshipping at a revered Shiite shrine in northern Baghdad, killing at least 35 people and wounding at least 65, the Iraqi army said. There were fears the death toll could rise further.

(CBS/AP) Israeli ground troops and tanks cut swaths through the Gaza Strip early Sunday, bisecting the coastal territory and surrounding its biggest city as the new phase of a devastating offensive against Hamas gained momentum.

Israeli troops singing, "Hi, Ho, Hi, Ho, its off to work we go."
