Nothing more "good and Christian" than a country-wide war crime!

The U.S. and it's Allies have been bombing bridges and power infrastructures since WWII. It's not a war crime. It has nothing to do with being "good" and "Christian" as you say. None of us are good in comparison to Christ. Governments are instituted by God to bear the sword as agents of wrath against wrongdoers, maintaining order.

No they are not. That is how Monarchies are justified.
Governments are instituted by the people for the people, to serve in the interest of the people. In fact, this very country, the United States of America, was founded on the idea that the Government should get its power from the PEOPLE, and not because some guy says that his bloodline has a right to rule by divine law.

Yes, they are. Read Romans 13:1-4 to start.
War is never ideal but can be necessary in a sinful world to prevent worse evil. All agree evil must be opposed, with final victory belonging to God through Christ.

I mean God created Man as imperfect as we all are and we get our power from Him.

Sure glad you're not in a position of power.

lol... I take it you've never read Articles 52 and 57 of Additional Protocol I of the Geneva Conventions...

What about the American Revolution and the 1989 anti-communist revolutions in Europe? Did the revolutionaries 'rebel against what God has instituted' and "bring judgement on themselves," or are they exempt when you like the end result?

I have seen libertarian and other interpretations of Romans 13:1-4, and interpretations aren't set in stone, but one thing is certain: if said passage is to be taken word for word, it is inherently destructive to the very principles of limited government and personal freedom.

It literally is outlined in the Geneva Conventions, how disconnected from reality are you? Also, is the "US and its Allies doing it" somehow justification for it? Last I checked, people like Henry Kissinger and Dick Cheney are also responsible for war crimes.

What is a bigger evil than bombing (and double-tapping no less) a school full of kids? I'll wait for this answer.

I'm glad God made Christians less imperfect than those zealot Iranians and their silly God so that we can impose our will on them through violence and bombing and still be safe in the eyes of our heavenly father.

Man you're gonna be so disappointed... there's no convincing this guy. Brainwashed into oblivion. He's already said that he suspects Iran bombed that school themselves, has no evidence to prove it at all, and will reject all notions to the contrary. He also said even if it did happen and it was from Israel or the US it was some kind of weapons/communication failure and doesn't change anything in the end "LOL".
Wouldn't surprise me that if he saw the school in person, watched classified videos of the US targeting and striking the school, he'd claim it was a hideout for terrorists and they intentionally set-up there to reduce the chances the US would bomb them due to the extra casualties it would cause and ultimately the ends justified the means. I can't hardly imagine that even the most hardcore stoned northwest hippie ultraliberal is as detached as this guy is from reality. At least his last few posts haven't been complete troll remarks and actually elaborate on what's going on in that noodle of his.

How can you tell which governments are instituted by God and which governments are wrongdoers?
 

Yes, this is how someone in control of the most powerful military in the world should act, right? Word-for-word saying they’ll be living in hell and an entire civilization is going to die? Wow, what a good Christian he and this entire admin are! I’m sure they totally aren’t just using the religion and much of its hardcore following to justify horrendous war crimes and hide the Epstein files!
 
I genuinely think Trump's statements and the 8pm deadline and bombing bridges and power stations is saber rattling, but then again I didn't expect the Maduro/venezuala and initial bombing and war campaign against Iran. I think the Iran war has become a quagmire for this administration. It should say something when both tucker carlson and Alex jones are against the president and with Alex Jones even advocating for the 25th amendment in response to trump. I honestly have no idea what's going on in Trump's head but ever since the begging of the year the military actions have been fast and furious it seems.

Genocidal rhetoric from an increasingly unstable man, who also happens to be President of the strongest military on earth. Just an awful, awful confluence of events. Absolutely nothing moral or right about any of this.

All existing governing authorities—good, bad, just, or tyrannical—derive their authority from God’s sovereign permission or appointment.
As the verse states.."Whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.”

I guess those who are punishing the good and rewarding the evil or becoming a "terror" to law-abiding people are the wrongdoers as you say.

Tucker Carlson is now making the case for Trump being the antichrist, interesting.

I'm not a religious person (unless you count seven-tenet satanism) but Tucker is right about Trump's Allah Xitter post being completely deranged and I even sorta agree with the whole "antichrist" thing. Rare time I will agree with Tucker on something.

I had no idea trump had said that. I rarely keep up with what he says. I saw the headline of Tucker Carlson comment and wanted to know why he was saying it. I'm halfway through it. I'll share the link if anybody else wants to listen, it's interesting

You're part of the reason why I turned away from religion.
