Iran

If that's true then this is about as structured as my dimentia addled Aunt trying to manage an ant farm.
It is core Christian theology. Either one believes God is sovereign or one doesn’t. I happen to believe that He is. You are of course free to feel otherwise. But no matter what either of us believes will actually change anything that happens.
The unsolvable puzzle of man’s free will vs God‘s sovereignty is probably the single most debated concept in Christianity of course. Somehow they are both true (at least that is my opinion)
 
I was referring to the hypothetical of bombing everyone in Iran to protect just one US soldier. I didn't create that hypothetical. He did. My counter argument was if we want to protect US lives let's just leave this war. The only reason our soldiers are at risk right now is because we started it. We didn't have to start a conflict with Iran.
Wrong, the Iranians started this thing fifty freaking years ago. One could say the good ole Jimmy Carter started it by hamstringing the Shah during the revolution. This thing needed taken care of years ago, just till now no President had the stones to do it.
And as far as the Jews calling the shots. If they were, the Iranians would have been dealt with long before this. How is it that they control Trump but didn't control the previous seven president? Must be he doesn't have elephant testicles and they are paying him off because he needs the money.
 
You have it backwards.

The fall of Israel brings Armageddon.



If you were half as enlightened as you think you are you would realize the Muslim religion has the equivalent seen from the other side called “the great battle.”

Of course you won’t ever mention that because you have an agenda.

But if you studied you would know it literally mirrors the Christian version. Muslims are looking towards it also.

I've never understood why anyone would desire the end times. Nothing in Revelations (which I'm not a subscriber to) sounds enjoyable.

I'm just saying that if God's plan is having people like Joe Biden and Donald Trump leading the most powerful civilized collective in the history of mankind, then God deserves a reserved seat on the short bus with a plaque on it.

You do know our CIA along with British Intelgience organized a coup against Irans rightfully elected prime minister in the 50's so we could install a Shaw who was friendly with Western oil companies right?
 

That’s an innovative deployment of Apache, but seems like a pretty smart play for this mission set.

There are close to 200 Apaches in the region, and 30mm is extremely cheap compared to interceptors. A standard burst probably runs $1k to $2k.
A single Apache could take out 50+ drones before having to reload.

They can actually deploy Apache Hellfire missiles air-to-air against these slow moving drones too. They cost $100k (still cheap) but can engage targets at 5x the range.
 
Every human alive is a direct agent in God‘s plan. God ordained Trump for this point in time just as surely as He did Biden in his time.

Is free will completely illusory then? Is literally every single word we say, or every action we take, directed?

Or is it that God places people with specific characteristics in place, at a time, with the expectation that they will choose to act in a certain way?

Or is it that we have SOME free will, but not in certain key situations? For example, is Trump predestined to push the button to start a nuclear war?

I am not asking to be argumentative with you: I do find the MAGA crowd who insist God has some plan for Trump to be pretty drunk.

Now you've done it. You are on the list for the bad place.


Goodness, I hope that’s sarcasm.


Sort of. But see my queries above. Is there a partial master plan? Can Trump opt out of it if, at the last minute, he decides to have a BK Big Meal rather than turn Moscow into a parking lot?
