Yeah, I missed something there, when did Beanieboy become a muslin?
Anyway, Army of One, sorry I took so long getting back to you...
I am mostly in agreement with your statements. There are places in the bible where God allows for harsh and even violent action, and encourages this. I agree there is a time and a place for this sort of thing. I would tread very carefully in this territory however for the following reasons.
1. There are plenty of things in the bible that God seemingly condones or even smiles upon but are in no way intended as examples for us to follow. Tamar impersonating a prostitute in order to trick Judah into impregnating her imedieately springs to mind.
2. It is one thing to take a stand against evildooers, but often I have a hard time telling Christians taking a stand from the unbelievers doing the same thing. Christians should always be a visible demonstration of Christ, and I have a hard time picturing Christ saying some of the things I've heared said on this forum. When we start becoming indistinguishable from the heathen I think we have crossed a line.
3. While I trust that you are motivated out of Christian concern for your fellow man I have definitely seen plenty of Christians that picked up the politics first and then went to the bible looking for scriptural ammo to back up their rhetoric. This is one of those things that just really burns me up and I tend to pounce when I think I smell it.
Like I said, it's tricky territory. I think the best guidline is the one Christ gave us in his explanation of the Law. Love God with everything in your being and Love your neighbor as you love yourself. The law all hangs from those two points, and you cannot err if you keep those in mind.
