To John K of Wales,I wouldn't consider someone who has murdered 60,000 preborn children as one of God's elect, no more than I would consider Hitler, Stalin, Pol pot et al as His elect. God's people can mose assuredly pray for deliverance from the wicked; it's biblical, and even necessary. I think where folks are going awry on this subject is "our" enemies versus "God's" enemies.We are not to avenge our personal enemies, the Word is very clear on that. Our loving Father in heaven does love mercy, but He also loves justice. The two attributes of God are perfectly compatable. For example we should hate abortion, because we love babies. And we should love what God loves and hate what He hates. With a modern day church filled with psychology that's nicer than Jesus, the whole concept of praying for justice, is anathema. But as stated before, mercy and justice are compatable. For a tyrant who is bent on bloodshed, I will most assuredly show compassion for the innocent, and pray that the guilty would be punished. How, when, and if God answers that prayer is His business. |

Actually yes, I have been led by the Spirit of the Lord to pray imprecatory ( curses) upon the wicked. Not my enemies, mind you, but God's enemies. Such prayers include, "break their teeth, O'Lord". "Let the pit that they have dug, may they fall in to it". I mainly pray such prayers for those who continually oppress and persecute the defenseless; such as those who murder babies for a living, or wicked leaders. I pray, " Do whatever you must too stop this/them". God has heard and acted on a number of occasions. |

Barry from KY wrote: Mr. Dispy, you are trying to convince a bunch of people that say they are followers of Christ, except when it's more convenient to fall back on the OT for their own vindication. Any time a "christian" calls for assassination, is wrong. The "tea baggers" will never understand that!!! You may want to reconsider using the term " tea baggers". It's actually a profane term used by sodomites. |
