Every conflict on Earth happens for a reason. Saddam abused the human rights of his people, America set events in motion, resulting in 300k dead Iraqi; plus a million displaced. Are the Iraqi people now pleased with what America has done for them? Their country has been destroyed and there are...

Of the 300k Iraqi who died, how many of them were guilty and deserved to die? America cannot judge in the way that our Lord will judge us. How many of the 300k dead, would our Lord also condemn? America and its allies have destroyed Iraq, it is far more devastated than when Saddam was in power.

America, in their wisdom knew how to put this right, they went in guns blazing, and took Saddam out. And it seems any price is worth paying, even if you do not succeed. About 300k Iraqi have died as a result of the war. A larger number have died as an indirect result of the war, due to...

America invaded Iraq, disposed of its rulers and crooks. Twenty years have passed, how have you helped the poorest in Iraq? How is Iraq a better country now, than it was twenty years ago.

Fair enough, America invaded Iraq, disposed of its rulers and crooks. Twenty years have passed, how have you helped the poorest in Iraq? How is Iraq a better country now, than it was twenty years ago.

If you were truthfully concerned about saving lives, you would know that around 9 million people die needlessly from starvation, grinding poverty and preventable disease every year. Since WW2, hundreds of millions have died needlessly. We could eradicate these needless deaths by reducing the...

And if you had bothered to read my response in full, you would know that I was responding to 'Idolater'. He specifically talked about nukes, and not fire bombing. Teachers need patience, and if you don’t have any, that’s not my problem.

When I said, America is probably responsible for [China and North Korea and Iran] having WMD’s. The US was the first to use one in anger, so every other country needs them for their own self defence. The war in Iraq was a farce in my opinion, the US and Britain had loads of WMD’s. They should...

Fair enough, but at that point, there were only two swords between all the disciples present. Jesus then said, two swords is enough, meaning, you don’t have to buy any more. Jesus knew a crowd was going to turn up armed with clubs and swords. Had he truthfully wanted swords to be used in self -...

My mother escaped the genocide in Smyrna in 1922. My dad and uncles were in the RAF during WW2. America was content to sit back and sell guns at the start of WW2. The UK only finished paying this debt to the US in 2006. America is probably responsible for all these countries having WMD’s. The...

And the reason Jesus doesn’t ask them to train with a sword, is because he is going to tell them not to use one. In John’s Gospel, Jesus knew in advance what was going to happen. In Luke’s Gospel, Peter tries to do the right thing. He asks, Lord, should we strike with our sword? When you ask a...

This might be the case in America today. Did Jesus ever carry a sword? At the end of Jesus’s ministry, only two of his disciples had swords. Meaning the majority went around without a sword. The only time swords are used during the ministry of Jesus, he told them to put the swords away. You...

You can post videos of fun - loving gun owners, but how do you justify this using the teachings of Jesus? During the ministry of Jesus, there was only one time when he told his disciples to carry a sword. Jesus knew how the story was going to end. The question you should ask is, why did Jesus...

I've known a couple of farmers who had shotguns. When I was younger, I was jumped by a group of lads, one held a knife to my throat. I lived through that experience. I do that regularly, but with no weapons, no protective equipment, no self defence. I am 74, and I know I am the weakest and...

Jesus knew how the story was going to end. The question you should ask is, why did Jesus say bring two swords, when he knew he was going to tell them not to use a sword.

If they had no swords, Jesus could not tell them not to use a sword. If they had no swords, the disciples would have said to themselves, if only we had swords, we could have defended our Lord. Jesus showed his disciples how not to use a sword, it was now up to them as to what they should do in...

That's what Peter did, he took his sword out to protect Jesus. Jesus practiced what he preached. There were opportunities in his ministry for Jesus to carry a sword for his defence, but he never did. When it came time to use a sword in his defence, he said, put the sword away. Jesus showed us...

Luke 22: 38 The disciples said, “See, Lord, here are two swords.” “That’s enough!” he replied. Jesus said, two swords are enough between all his disciples, so he didn’t want an armed militia. When Peter used the sword, Jesus healed the man’s ear and told Peter to put his sword away. It seems...

Jesus said, the two greatest commandments are to love God and neighbour, which means no one can do anything greater.
