Quote:That, sounds logical to me.
They stuffed it up didn't they?
It was
all war booty, but they didn't take it.
They entered a problem of one archaic illogical religion pitted against another.
..all just historical leftovers really which were not understood, and still not understood.
There's gotta come a point where we cannot be bothered with it anymore. Chuck their Gods in the octagon and see which one deserves the right to play by
our rules.
Why not use one of those Israeli bulldozers & flatten
the wailing wall & the dome of the rock.
Get rid of religion & half the problems are solved. LOL
That is a good example of how
the carnal mind seeks to 'logically' resolve every problem.
i.e.
Got a problem ???
Get a bigger hammer.

This, for those who just don't 'get' religion....
What is happening here [within this physical realm], is a [spiritual] battle royal, between good, and evil.
In the spirit realm, good, and evil
cannot exist in close proximity to each other.
It is impossible.BUT, in our world [within this 'reality'], both good and evil can exist [in close proximity to each other], and both can find 'expression' -
IN OURSELVES,
IN OUR CHOICES.
This 'reality' is a 'construct' [err, ...a 'creation' even], where that 'expression', of both good and evil,
is possible,
in close proximity to each other.
In the spirit realm, good, and evil cannot co-exist within close proximity.
It is as though good, and evil, were like, light and, darkness.
If something of the darkness were to approach light, it would be 'burned' up by the light.
If something of the light approached the darkness, it would be absorbed,
'corrupted', by the darkness.
'The light' is in the centre, the darkness surrounds the light, but is unable to overcome it.
At the centre of the light, is a 'presence', which we know as 'God'.
I want to live in the light.
That is my choice.
In this 'place' [within this physical realm], by our choices, we ourselves are determining, in the 'hereafter', whether we will live in darkness, or, in light.
And that is God's 'joke' on the wicked [spirits]. i.e. the wicked among us.
And that is the 'beauty'
and justice of, in, God's plan.
By their own choices here, in this realm, they,
the wicked, are sealing their own future fate.
The 'concrete' is 'setting'.

NOW AVERT YOUR EYES BOBBY!!!!Isaiah 55:6
Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
2 Thessalonians 2:11
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
1 Corinthians 2:12
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Romans 8:5
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because
the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
