Hacksaw Ridge was a movie, and is not how real life works
It was based on real life events....

Sure some "artistic license" was used for making it more appealing to audiences....

But...

Yes, for the most part the story of that movie was true.
And yes, people are often that callous, cruel, or insensitive. All the way up and down the food chain.


. Most of the upper leadership of Iran was removed from life today.

As I understand, Trump attacked a country under a flag of truce (negotiation). Irrespective of everything else, this is a war crime, and it follows that everything that results from the illegally instigated war is illegal (irrespective of all the other arguments against it). So even if you want to argue the case for a just war and that all the Iranian school girls and other civilians bombed were fair game, the war is still illegal, making every death resulting from the war a murder (even under the corrupt rules of man). Therefore, the heroic choice is to stand against such actions, for starters by not signing up or being coerced or forced into the same.

I knew this but reading it really hits home!!

There are some people keep trying to make this a left / right issue, accuse others of being a liberal for not supporting it... this is a right and wrong issue. Period!

Now, how come the natural man can recognize "degenerates" and the so called "christians" cannot.

Kim here nails it.

There are none more blind than those who think they see.

Jesus said to them, If you were blind, you would have no sin. But now you say, We see; therefore, your sin remains. John 9:41
For it was better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than having known it to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. But the word of the true proverb has happened to them: "The dog returns to his own vomit;" also, the washed sow to wallowing in mud. 2 Peter 2:21-22

And what is the holy commandment?

Therefore, all things, whatever you desire that men should do to you, so also you should do to them; for this is the Law and the Prophets. Matthew 7:12

Love does not work evil to a neighbor, therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. Romans 13:10
 
What Rahab did by lying to save the spies took courage, the same as what it took Joshua to conquer Jericho. Obedience looks different to different people. If warfare demands murder (i.e. killing outside the commands of God) as you seem to accept, how much moreso tactics such as deception (lying, running or hiding)?

Hacksaw Ridge was a movie, and is not how real life works (at least not 99% of the time). Many of those who likely would or could have acted like that were executed as deserters or mutineers or similar (you earlier provided numbers of heroes who were murdered in previous wars, presumably, who signed up, then for conscience' sake or other legitimate reasons were not able to carry out the grotesque orders that were demanded of them). When you sign up, you sign up to obey any illegal order they give, at risk of penalty of death (not in theory, but in practice). God gives us freedom for a reason - don't waste it, and don't sign up.
What Rahab did was treason. If we had a modern day Rahab here today, who was genuinely hiding spies of the Lord, she is not going to go online and advise others to imitate her. If you think you are imitating Rahab then you are deceiving yourself. A modern day Rahab was Schindler, the guy they made a movie about (Shindler's list).

You understand incorrectly. Yes, they were negotiating and yes during a negotiation there is a truce. But the negotiation ended prior to Israel and the US attacking.

Hacksaw ridge is a real story about real life and yes, that is precisely how it worked.

They even made a superhero comic book about this guy, that is how incredible his faith was.
 
They're doing this to free the Iranian people...yeah, right.
Yes, they are being freed from the prison known as the IRGC ruled regime and handed over to the prison of whatever new regime comes next under the Prince of this dark age.

The only thing that will truly set you free is knowing the truth and that will only come by receiving the gospel and putting your faith in Jesus Christ and praying for revelation.
 
Quite diabolical, this plan to hit the oil facilities to create a toxic environment for the citizenry knowing rain would be coming, but not surprised that is what the US had Iraq do (use chemical weapons) during the Iraq/Iran war.
Quite a contrast between Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world and Satan, the prince of this evil age.

I am praying as no doubt all genuine believers are that this will turn many to seek the savior.
 
How many deaths to have that third temple built and achieve greater Is***l.
One commentator stated they are going to bomb the mosque on the Temple Mount and blame it on Iraq (false flag).
Blame it on Iraq? Really? No one would believe Iraq would be bombing Jerusalem.
 
So much confidence, wipe out a nation/people and peace and prosperity will come. :unsure:

Wow! I am primarily concerned with having to appear before the Lord and give account for the things I have said and done. I know I am not supposed to compare myself to others, but wow, how can you say something so callous as cheering on the idea of "bombing the hell" out of a country. Lord Jesus, I pray if I have said or done anything to suggest I am a cheerleader for "bombing the hell" out of another nation, that your blood would wash me clean. Thank you for showing all of us how heinous and repulsive this is.
