Unjust war.. what is it good for? Absolutely nothing!

Will you join me in praying for peace and protection in Israel? 

During all of our history, one of the United States’ most worthwhile endeavors has been its consistent regard for the plight of the Jewish nation and people (By the way many Arabs live within the borders with Jews). 

No nation in the history of this world has a better record of befriending.. of treating individual Jews in Israel with love and respect than does the USA. Don't get weary in well-doing, love people to Christ and then some more of course! It's who we are and what we're about.. hello!  

1 Corinthians 14:1

Earnestly pursue love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts..

King James Bible

Let all your things be done with charity.

New King James Version

Let all that you do be done with love.

New American Standard Bible

All that you do must be done in love.

NASB 1995

Let all that you do be done in love.

Hey college students and others here: It's always too early for Americans (as well as others globally) to stop lovingly praying for Israel!  

Let's pray for Israel today (I so feel for them) as well as for people in the USA under this Administration now funding two wars! Fear not and act wisely, believer.

The Bible says (in Deuteronomy 7:6-8) of Israel: "For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession. The LORD did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples. But it was because the LORD loved you and kept the oath he swore to your forefathers that he brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the land of slavery, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt."

God’s eternal purpose is to bless the world through Israel. Already He has done so in measure, for "salvation is from the Jews" (John 4:22), but the fullness of future blessing is indicated in the wondrous promise of Isaiah 27:6: "In days to come Jacob will take root, Israel will bud and blossom and fill all the world with fruit."

Church, let's pray for Israel and by the Holy Spirit become a blessing to all the people we can!

The declaration that "salvation is from the Jews” suggests our immeasurable debt to God 1st and then to His beloved Israel. All that we have worth having has come to us through the Jews. Our Bible is a Jewish Book, and our Savior Jesus is a Jewish Savior. Let us never forget to pray for God’s chosen people. It sadly true that Israel (a secular nation), today, is in the place of rejection. The nation is largely unbelieving (as to the claims of Scripture and their Messiah, Jesus Christ); but "..at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace" (Romans 11:5). It's true we Americans have sinned, and they too have.. yet some Jews (like is happening here stateside) are individually being "saved" (that's a Bible term) and are becoming members of the body of Christ through faith in their Messiah. It's cuz God loves us and Christ is the only way in.

Jews are (biblically speaking), the "chosen people of God" and dearly loved by Him. Yes, there are. Woe to anyone who seeks to defeat God's good plan for His people; “whoever curses you I will curse” (Genesis 12:3).

BREAKING: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Declares War Against the Terrorists of Hamas After Thousands of Rockets Target Israel.

Several News Networks twist and lie, but Netanyahu wisely needs to defend Israel.

The Bible in Exodus 20:13 commands, “You shall not kill,” but listen.. that's addressing murder and not Bibi's command to go to war against Israel's attackers.

The Hebrew word literally means “the intentional, premeditated killing of another person with malice" - a.k.a. murder.

Check it out in history how God at times ordered the Israelites to go to war with other ungodly nations (1 Samuel 15:3; Joshua 4:13).

Go check it out how God ordered the death penalty for numerous crimes even (Exodus 21:12, 15; 22:19; Leviticus 20:11). So, God is not against all types of killing in all circumstances, but only against murder.

You and I know that War is never a good thing, but sometimes it is a necessary thing. "Love.. always protects." In a world filled with sinful people attacking other people (Romans 3:10-18), war is sadly inevitable.

Sometimes the only way to keep sinful people from doing great harm and destruction to the innocent is by going to war.

Ecclesiastes 3:8 declares, “There is.. a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.”

In a fallen-world filled with sin, hatred, and evil (Romans 3:10-18), war is inevitable. Christians should not desire war, but neither are Christians to oppose every war where decent people are protecting the innocent.
