Myanmar leans towards China

[Quantrill]

God's purposes mean that He does as He pleases, with whom He pleases, and when He pleases. As it says in

Psalm 135:6
"Whatever the Lord pleases, He does, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all deeps.".

And Daniel 4:34-35

"At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and praised and honored him who lives forever, for his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom endures from generation to generation; the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing, and he does according to his will among the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand or say to him, “What have you done?”"

Of course God does as He pleases. That is not the point. You don't know that it's God's will for Islam to take over England or the U.S. Do you? Maybe it's God's will, maybe it isn't. That's up to Him.

I move according to that which I know. I know Islam is against God and Jesus Christ and Christians. I know their purpose. And i contend with them, am against them, in that purpose.

What you are saying is that because God is going to do what He wants, you do nothing. I assure you that is not the will of God. Leave to God what He wants to do, and make sure you are found contending, fighting, against His enemies. Not for them.

Islam is against God and Jesus Christ and Christians

as are some "Christian" churches!

The Church is not against God. Islam is against God.

Many churches have need of correction. Paul encountered it often. But the church is not against God.

You cannot equate a bad church to Islam.

so who does verse 10 speak of? " So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests". Who are these "bad", or as the Greek πονηρός has it, "wicked, evil, worthless", people! If the "good" here refer to the "elect", then who are these "bad" also invited to share the Kingdom?

Good and Bad people are spoken of in human terms here, how we would view them.
To God there are no good people in their fallen condition, Jesus tells us only God is good.

so what does Jesus mean when He says, "I came not to call the righteous but sinners"? (Luke 5:32) You are confusing moral pefection, which belongs only to God, to moral living, which all are commanded to do
