    No, it is brainwashing. Why else would you be ready to kill a country with so many Christians?

    "Christians of Iran have played a significant part in the history of Christian mission. Currently there are at least 600 churches and 300,000–370,000 Christians in Iran."

    Granted, the majority of what Wiki calls "Christians" we would not. But still there is a sizable population there. They are in such persecution there that many of them go to Turkey (of all places) to practice their faith.

    Read up on it, brother. It is very enlightening.

    I don’t believe anything about our government however I do know that Iran is at war with their own intellectual communities ( remember they fired on the student protesters because they the students wanted a loosening from the religious fundamentalists stranglehold) so they gunned down their best & brightest to prove a point. And let’s not forget the American hostages they took back in the 70’s and yada yada. So do you want to continue in your idealistic mentality that we as Americans are just forgive and forget a repeated threat to us and to the Israeli and to the Saudi?

    Again sir, you are nothing more than an idealist who by dint of being an idealist is not in touch with reality.

    Number me as a deplorable. The swamp dwellers are the establishment people.

    That term was first used to describe the working class in Pennsylvania and Ohio... who cling to their guns & bibles (per Obama). If it was up to me, every person who demeaned us should be made to work a hard labor job, work in a coal mine, a factory job, digging wells etc before they ever utter words like deplorable again.

    No He is here with us but the scripture promises an end to sin and death.

    Will sin and death go on forever into eternity? Show me your answer from the scripture Tom.

    This is the onset of the War of Gog and Magog. America is nothing but the big stick for the Edom Zionist agenda. This is satan's plan for that ONE WORLD ORDER many Christians are privy to. It is a seek and conquer mission with its goal of seizing the world's natural resources. However, because certain countries do have association or alliances with Russia , this is not going to end well. The Edom who is at the top of the pyramid , wants world domination. There are some countries however, that will not be dominated. Russia being one and its partner China. The Edom Zionist Jew is leaving the bones for the Bear. The bone nations are nations without faith in Christ and are Muslim and/or Atheist. All the players will take sides. Russia will be very convincing in its strength and will go right through. Many who supported America will be devoured by the Bear, and side with it. A bear grows hungry and if you poke it enough it will retaliate. This is Ezekiel prophecy and Daniel's prophecy coming full circle. America is not innocent. America is part of the Mystery Babylon system.

    And the past is the past concerning what you state as to Iran's actions. America too has many bad actions in different ways. God is rendering upon all nations His verdict.

    This middle East stuff, is all orchestrated in order to accomplish world domination. People are drinking the Kool Aid if they think America has no innocent blood on her hands. This is WWIII underway. The war mongers want this to bring about the last and final kingdom which will herald in "The Man".

    The kingdoms of men at present are in the power of the prince of the air. The kingdoms of men will become the Christ's at the Last Trumpet. Christians are simply in the world but not of it. What is happening now is about deceiving the Elect "if that were possible". Trump is not what many Christians have been deceived into thinking.
    The trumpets will sound during "Trumps" administration. Satan is being cast out of even the first heaven"Space" . Up until this point satan has been allowed to at least ascend to the gates of heaven and blaspheme the saints of God. He will not be able to do that as the trumpets sound. He will be relegated to the earth ONLY and will fully be embodied of a man. This is no joke what is happening in the middle east. And don't think America is going to come out of this untouched. During the war, the Elect will flee into the wilderness. Major cities globally, will be totally destroyed! Many will die. Then the sixth seal at the appointed time will bring about the Wedding Feast for Christ's Elect, who will witness this miracle(the sixth seal) and surly survive. They will inhabit the desolate places. This is the shorting of the tribulation events Christ spoke of, or no one would survive. It is not shorting the number of years concerning toward the end , but happens in the middle of. It will be a pause, in which the length of, God will decide. Those who hide themselves in the mountains and under them= go under ground in their under ground kingdoms, peppered across the globe, will have the Mark of the Beast. The final battle (Armageddon ) will happen after the saints of God shine forth, after what has become known as the 3 Days of darkness, this account is supported by Rev.6 and is the sixth seal. But first the war of Gog and Magog is coming!

    Again, its called survival. It doesn't take the proverbial brain surgeon to figure out what Iran would do with a nuclear device. A nation whose motto is "Death to America".

    Besides, Trump has CHANGED HIS MIND AND HAS ASKED FOR NEGOTIATIONS!

    Of course those hate him will find fault.

    Hank, my family and I decided to send the news media packing by eliminating our cable programming this month so we are not bombarded by Fox, MSNBC , CNN, HLN etc. we don’t want any more brainwashing to interfere.

    You are an idealist... with no sense of reality.

    I am a Christian with a sense of reality.
    A Christian is an idealist.

    You cannot read 1 Cor. 13 - and many other passages - and say that Christianity is not idealism. I am 66 years old. That helps with my sense of reality. I read. I study. I travel a lot. That also helps.

    Good. That's a start. Now I suggest you get out of your Amuhrica bubble and see how the majority of people on this globe live.

    And what do you think we are doing with our weapons? Killing with kindness?? How many innocent people we have killed over the last two decades alone with our missiles and drones?

    Yes, I hate him. He is a liar and hypocrite. Just like Obama. In fact we have had a long line of bad presidents.

    And the fact that he changed his mind is not a virtue. A true statsement would think things through and then act out of consideration - not impulse.

    I have shown this a number of times already, Hank, from I Cor and Revelation. I am tired of repeating myself.
