Re: How Can You Decry Torture, Support Drone Killi
Think about it!
If a Christian was captured and began to be tortured for a cause seen as directly related to the Cause of Christ, that Christian wouldn't break so easily. Clear Bible promises will encourage that Christian to endure until the end, knowing that at the end there is a Crown of Life for those who remain faithful.
An up front assault on a Christian's most holy faith will not be as effective at getting that Christian to betray the Cause of Christ as that Christian will see their sufferring as an opportunity to please our GOD and Savior.
That same Christian will choose food over fasting much more easily.
That same Christian will choose tv or Bible reading much more easily.
That same Christian will simply neglect prayer much more easily when presented with the hustle of everyday life.
That same Christian will work 6 days a week to enjoy this or that-- giving thought to God for about 45 minutes on a Sunday morning, only if that Christian is not on vacation.
Conquering your enemy is not always best accomplished through blatant violence-- ask the backslidden children of your Christian neighbor.
I don't think torture is anything that our government should utilize or endorse-- especially when dealing with twisted thinking.
