To flip: Sin transcends time. You seem to be implying that people actions are a result of one's time. That simply is not true. Are you suggesting that we are a product of our environment? God forbid. Lee had just as much knowledge of sin in his time as do those in our contemporary world who kill, steal, torture and do similarly evils things now. That's what separates the true believe from pretenders. By God's grace, they have been grantedtrue and real knowledge and conviction of sin, unlike unbelievers.What you are advocating means that Saddam was also a product of his time and did evil deeds for that reason. If that is the case, he should not have been hanged. Lee, Jackson, Davis all should have been hanged just as John Brown was because they all committed treason against the United States. However, that pales in comparison to the crimes against humanity these men helped to sustain against people made in the image of God, many of them no doubt true believers. But God, himself, is the judge of these men as he is with all mankind. They may have escaped the justice of man on this earth but they like all men have a greater judge to face. Hope they repented of their sins and evil deeds and truly did come to know and trust Jesus as their savior. |

A true believer's loyalty is not to any nation, but to God.Again, did Lee honor God? No, he did not. Apart from slavery, he violated the very laws of God in working against the God ordained and created institutions of Marriage and Family. His life did not tell for Christ. Where is the love that true Christians must have if they really are Christians. He was a wicked man, no less than all of us who are without the grace of God and knowledge of Christ. God is a God of justice. The institution of slavery and more importantly the American model of slavery was wicked and of the devil. If God were to take sides in that war, which side do you really believe he would uphold? The South was no more different than what you had under Saddam. Thank God that he did raise up the instrument of wrath, vengence on it in the form of Grant and Lincoln, similarly as he did in raising the Babylonians against the nation of Judah. God says that government is ordained of God and can serve as the instrument of his wrath. Thankfully, that was the case in one of the darkest and sinful periods of our nation's existence. |

Robert E. Lee committed treason against the United States and was responsible for the death of many on both sides of the conflict. And he was a racist. It is anithetical to the gospel to be a racist. That's why I can't wait to get to heaven. While, there will be former racists there, as well as murderers and other formerly vile creature, by the grace of God there will not be one of the ilk of Lee, Davis, Forrest.These men fought to support an institution that dissolved marriage between people, separted and destroyed families and committed other attrocities against men made in the image of God. By God's law, they should have been hanged, similarly to Saddam. Unfortunately, unless they knew the grace of God (their lives didn't show it), they have all eternity to think about their sin and open rebellion against God. |

In God's providence, I am a person of the black race. While I appreciate the message that Dr. King brought and have personally benefited by it, I still have to acknowledge that from what we know his life did not truly tell for Christ. There are many who carry the title of Pastor or Rev who are anything but. Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Oral Roberts, Billy Graham and many others come to mind. Their's is a gospel that wants to make man happy or to have a fuller "life in Christ" in this world but not that which is to come.I have to agree somewhat with Salt of the Earth's statement about Israel. I think Judaism gets a free ride even in supposed reformed circles. Judaism as are all the other religions of the world are anithetical to the true gospel of free grace and salvation through Christ alone. Lastly, isn't it wonderful that there won't be any racists or racism in heaven. Only reformed racists.. |

Yes. Judaism is evil. No difference between it and Islam or any other religion that denies Christ as the only savior between God and Man.
Matter of Fact, Paul under inspiration says so in Galations. He calls any other religion a curse and those who practice it accursed of God.America needs to stop looking for a Christian America that never was or a modern day equivalent of the Nation of Israel that God brought out of Egypt and the wilderness. Actually not just the Jews were responsible for calvary but all the peoples of the earth. Without sin there would be no reason for Christ to come to destroy the works of the Evil One. |

Okay, let's say hypothetically that the church era has ended. Okay where in scripture do I find clear, concise guidance and instruction to God's people as to what comes next or replaces it? When the time came for the Levitical economy to end, after the crucifiction of Christ, God rent the temple to show that that era had ended in Christ. We then receive clear instruction by Holy men of God as to what comes next--the church, with Elders, Deacons, Pastors, etc. However, I find no such guidance or instruction that says what follows this "end of the church age". Since those offices are now gone, what has replaced them? If you can't find it in scripture (and you can't), it then means that you have to go outside of the Bible as your authority and make up your own rules (i.e. fellowships, no Lord's Table, etc.), which is what Camping has done. What are the rules and direction when these "saints" come together. Can women preach? Can they lead the prayer service? You have to have an authority for such things. I trust the Bible as my authority and not the heresy of a prideful man. A man who is mixing grace with works, which is always a recipe for failure. |

Anna, as I indicated, men act only when it serves their interests. They rarely act out of humanity or love for their fellow man. Not defending Hitler, but what was the climate that existed in Europe and much of the world(Colonialism)? While Hitler was bent on the destruction of "lesser" human beings, he was also interested in empire building, not unlike Britain, which owned India, much of Africa, etc., and America which owned the Philipines, etc. However, to answer your question: Britain was not wrong for declaring war on Hitler, because it is sometimes becomes necessary that nations do have to exercise war to defend themselves. However, as I indicated there is much hypocracy practiced by the sons of men. |
