I Read an article in our esteemed newspaper suggesting that the United States is the only nation which is qualified to pull guard duty worldwide. (What if ) Yes! Worldwide policing of human rights.
Can you imagine the cost involved in doing that? not to mention the cost in human life, the cost in public relations, the cost in political chutzpah? What nation is going to respect the USA policing their actions worldwide? For one, The Japanese are in a war with the US right now over whaling. We want to save the whales, They want to kill the whales. Stupid them. Why you might ask? They need the resources whales provide. blubber, oil, food, and fuel. We claim that they are eliminating a species. This is just one story of one conflict. Can you imagine what is happening in Russia, China, Mongolia, Patagonia, Greenland, Austria, France, Sweden, Germany. We are already involved in Afghanistan, Iraq, Korea, most of Europe and wherever we see injustice being forced upon innocent people. Yes we are the strongest, most powerful nation history has ever known. Is it our business to police the world? Most would say no. It's none of our business how a nation treats it's citizens. True, but what if they are being oppressive and burdening their citizens with backbreaking work loads and smothering them with unjust laws and taxes. Look at what China did to the Tibetan people and the Dali Llama. China took over their country and killed a majority of them, running the Dali Llama out of his country and threatening to kill him if he returns. What's wrong with that? Everything is wrong with that. There is no justice. So who should fix that? Let me explain something to you. God has set the world in motion. He has proclaimed that he will destroy it eventually, and reshape everything with only good people in Heaven. Only Godly men and women of the old testament times and those who have professed Christ as their savior will survive this terrible judgement, and be with him in heaven. This then dooms everyone else that is left over to hell. Does that sound fair to you? Probably not. You must know however that everyone else that is doomed is then judged to be evil, and if that is the case then it is just. How can this be? It is a literal truth that evil exists and no one is qualified to administer justice over all except it be God, his Son Jesus Christ, and his Holy Spirit. The host of Heaven is God. Jesus and his Holy Spirit have been given to us to help save us from this terrible judgement. Have you ever considered what happens to the Soul of a human being after the life as we know it is gone from that being. Do you suppose the conscious mind of that person lives on? Or perhaps the soul, which is an indescribable essence of the former life, lives on, only in memories.Then again, what of the Biblical view of the soul? Destined for Heaven or Hell? Yes! Can that be. What is your actual view of (after death) That's it. Nothing is left over after death. So which view do you take.
Now then having stated the reasonable and just considerations by which evil and good are separated, let me pose yet another consideration. Suppose we as a nation have open borders, which we do. Then further suppose we allow certain people to come into our country. Then after proper swearing in, become U.S. citizens. then as we look at the eventual makeup of this country, as citizens go, we find it is made up of Italians, Native Americans, Jews, Germans, Europeans from all over, Chinese, Japanese, Iraqi, Asians, Indians, Muslims, Catholics, Jews, Buddhists, Christians, And faiths and religions from every walk of life, and Atheists as well. Then we must now not Judge others on their faith or beliefs. Do we now think that we will satisfy all walks and ways of life if we start judging other nations conduct. That is God's business. Leave it alone. We are not even close to being qualified to render judgement on others. Now suppose a nation becomes a warring nation and begins attacking other countries. Do we try to interfere and if so do we make war if necessary? Yes we do if it is justifiable, but what if our citizens disagree. What do we do then, flash the Bat Signal? So as with the soul which we have as yet not positioned in an afterlife, do we then do our own positioning of the souls of others. Judging where that soul should spend eternity, or ignoring the persons existence altogether,after death. Well Hello! let me pose to you a situation whereby you are facing the end of your allotted days on this earth, as eventually all of us will be given to do. You have a mere moment of time, perhaps a millisecond or a few minutes or maybe even hours or days. What choices do you have? 1.) Move on to the Grave and end it all; 2.) Then you decide that your soul does exist and needs a resting place; 3.)Where shall you do your rest? You must decide; 4.) Perhaps to reside in an afterlife roaming restlessly throughout the world until it is destroyed in a cataclysmic explosion and then where will you go? 5.) Maybe you can proceed to a Buddhist garden where you will be caretaker forever, or maybe to a Muslim afterlife with 72 virgins where you will be obliged to do whatever one does with that many virgins... forever; 6.) or perhaps the Bible is telling the truth and there really is a Heaven and a Hell, and that is what you now believe.
And you still can ask Christ to come into your heart and forgive your sins and you really do believe that this is Gods way. Now you have a life to look forward to. Lets do it this way. Lets flash the Christ Signal. That signal can save the world.
