I have to tell you guys, I started this thread to discuss the WBS, looking forward to all the great debates the I could be in. It did not do much for a while, then I got real busy and couldn't be on, THEN I find out that it has been getting 3-5 pages a day WITHOUT me! Now, I am back, and there are hardly any posts! I don't get it! LOL!

I seriously do not believe that Almighty God would "take sides" in ANY matter.  We are to side with Him.  We are to stand firm for His truth and in our faith of Jesus Christ.  I think this is the biggest issue I have about this thread.  Why is a matter of good (God) and evil (worldly ways) being reduced to North v South?

Fluffy I think God does take sides. God sided with the Israelites and those that were for them, even today. He does take sides against those who are against Him.

Randy

Still say it was Israel that "sided" with God.  Also... it is not so much as a side as His people... you don't mess with a child of God Almighty... then YOU are picking a side you do NOT want to be on!!!

 

Also... Lady A-

In the Revolutionary War, again... it is about WHO was fighting for WHAT.  What can you point to that says God took a side??  I mean really, can you see the Awesome Creator of the universe taking a "side"????  I think not.

I have a question for you: Did God "take sides" when Satan rebelled?

I can't see the Awesome Creator of the universe NOT taking a "side" in some situations! He has and does side with truth and righteousness. 

My answer is no.  God did not take a side.  Satan did.  (The word satan simply means adversary.  So the being we commonly call Satan is adversarial, or opposes, God)

God is.  He is perfect.  He has no need to take a side.  He IS truth and He IS righteous.  But there is no need for sides.

 Florida Cracker, I saw that you were on. Do you think you could get this to come to life again?

This chat is very dead like DEAD! Pretty sad. I'm suprised that this chat has even been going on so long... shows how umm... silly people can be about history.

 I don't know about that! I think it is very important to learn from history, what mistakes were made so that they will not be repeated, and what was good so that we can apply that. I think we can learn alot from the past, for the future!

I don't know who this Stanton is, is he a modern person?

 No, thank goodness! He was Lincoln's Secretary of War, both of them were from the Lincoln administration.

Oh, I thought that it was some new person. It sounded like communist talk to me.

 Yep, I know. Well Karl Marx was very pro-Lincoln. That was sort of the idea behind such strong federal government.

 Justin,

   Have you or anyone else heard Jeff Botkin's talk from last years History Conference called "The Hollywood Century" ? Karl Marx reminded me of it.

ACbookworm I know you haven't heard it yet, but you will soon.  

That makes me not like Lincoln even more!

No, we have not had a chance to listen to any of the History Conference stuff yet, what was it about? I think Geoff Botkin is an ex-Marxist.

 I realized that it would be a good idea to clarify one of my earlier posts.
"Lincoln is the single-minded son of the working class, who has lead his country to the matchless struggle for the rescue of the communist revolution and the reconstruction of the social order" -Karl Marx

That comes from 'The War Between the States' book that I mentioned before.

Randy, I am not sure about that, I would like to talk about that. I can't post much now, and I will be busy tomorrow, but I will try to get on. What makes you so sure it is real?
