re: Iran goes dark, protests continue, killing starts, Khomeini’s tomb is burning.

quote:Killing/bombing their country’s leaders does sound a lot like war though. Also, the President has said he wants more peaceful relations with both Russia and China. It seems diplomacy is more appropriate there. Besides that, I don’t see how attacking Iran is a warning to them, being Nuclear powers.

Iran has done those things and the net positives are a possibility if actions went perfectly as planned but not a certainty. To issue a warning against another nation’s internal affairs and insert yourself into the conflict is what has been discussed though. How is that going to bring peace to a ‘boiling pot’ in a sovereign nation.

Correct, you make yourself a de facto participant...for no real gain, especially in this case.

quote:Contrary to popular opinion, while it may sound like tough words, it hardly seems practical to threaten a foreign nation over their mistreatment of their own citizens. There are other countries that are murdering civilians every day. Why single out one country?
Trump warned the regime not to massacre the people.

God tested Abraham. He came close to sacrificing his own son. God stopped him at the last minute. However, when God saw his faith and the level to which he was willing to go, He blessed Abraham and his descendants forever.

Maybe faith is personal and defined in the heart of the individual, as is the working of the spirit of God in a heart, like the wind. Weak or strong, loud or quiet, but there. We may quote scripture and say it is this or it is that, but if the inward man is drawn towards the goodness that comes from God, would that not be faith in the purist sense, regardless of how any might try to codify it?
