American Sniper Movie

i concur, banned person

/hope you weren't banned for this post

I have pondered this. I am new here . I have seen post by people that I disagree with but the post were not obscene or threatening. Yet they were banned. I know some people pay for lifetime membership here. Do they have the say over those who do not pay because they disagree with someone ?

Matthew 5:43....

43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[a] and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that?
And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?
48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Save your out of context Scripture for liberals who don't know the Bible roug.

Waiting for someone to tell me what is heroic about hiding in a hotel room and shooting people in the head from your bed. People that don't even know you're there nonetheless. And in a country that had not attacked your home country and posed no threat to your security. Tell me what is heroic about that? Tell me.

You seem to think that sniper= assassin. Not an accurate picture at all! Chris Kyle's Job was to move through dangerous neighborhood and find high ground, from which to provide cover, so that the soldiers under his watch could move from point A to point B without getting killed.

Also keep in mind that Kyle tired of sitting on rooftops and went to the front lines where he could deal with the enemy face to face (so much for him being a coward as many like Daniel have claimed he was).

 

[aCultureWarrior]

I don't watch movies that sensationalize war. War is a horrible occurrence.
Jane Fonda is a Christian. Jesus forgave her. So do I.

Did He?

 

[rougueone]

"Thou shalt not kill" is not an absolute commandment. If you read the context, it means not to murder. Obviously it can't mean not to kill ever. The death penalty is commanded for certain crimes and sins in the Bible. God, at one time, commanded the killing of animals for sacrifice. God permits us to kill animals for food.

There is a difference between killing and murder. I agree.

I suppose that is something the soldier has to answer. The movie did highlight his exploits. I do not feel it was necessary. I recall an alleged video Osama Bin Laden made. He claimed a " Double Blessing" when the towers went down. I remember feeling so hurt by how many people died, were permanently burned and injured, and the how his belief hurt the families of those killed. He also highlighted his exploits. It was not necessary.

I was referring to this statement

If anyone wants a good laugh, check out Hanoi Jane's "About My Faith".

"From time to time, there have been the awakened ones, conduits of perception, who, by fully embodying Spirit, have shown us the way—Jesus, Muhammed, Buddha, Allah, and others. Their messages have invariably been bare-bone-simple, remarkably similar and often embedded in metaphor, stories, and poems—all forms of art. Why? Because the non-linear, non-cerebral forms that are Art speak on a different frequency, they by-pass thinking, penetrate our defenses and jolt us open to consciousness."

I cannot judge her. Nor you. I know I am to love you to the best of my ability in the maturity God has me in today.

I agree their are many who are misguided ( I may be in part ), to whom they are in our Christ-Jesus. I am certain of this, Gods LOVE toward one another trumps all things. Gods love. Not mine. It is a precarious balance at times. Forgiveness is the primary ingredient of Gods love toward us, and thus must be mine. I hope this is never challenged to where I struggle with forgiving another. I have never had a child murdered. Nor my mother attacked. I hope I never do.
Also Culture, I despise what liberal ideology has done to our society. And is now so pervasive globally. Oddly they won. Because people disobey Gods teachings. " SIN".

 

[rougueone]

Culture, Not only has "SIN" obviously subdued the U.S. but our influence is also severly diminished.
Another major development that causes me to see our days are numbered in the U.S., is the new China-backed Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. We are in deep trouble.

Founding members are our " allies". China offered any nation who signs up now as " Principle" board members. 57 Nations are aboard now.
Will our currency diminish this year? No. But it will. Or the U.S. goes to war with China. Whose military hardware will meet or exceed our's in about 5-7 years. Stealth planes, drones, Et... or we " surrender" our global authority to China. Also had any other Nation known to be an enemy of the U.S. built such a military we would of bombed them into the stone age. But China was allowed to. Why? They loan the U.S. money. They hold our debt. China is our banker. Who is going to go to war with their banker ?
What are your thoughts ?

Not the point. The point is that the US invade Iraq without cause. Anyone killed in Iraq was killed unjustly. Kyle was protecting soldiers that wouldn't have been in danger if America hadn't invaded Iraq in the first place.

If foreign soldiers show up in your neighbor and take over, will you shoot back?

America is not going to be around much longer. God is judging it now. And ushering in the last season of mankind.

How long do you think that is, the "not much longer"? Someone here is predicting end times this year, another predicting it in a few years, and lots of people seem to believe it'll be in their lifetime. Most folks at least seems to say "soon." I certainly have never heard anyone say "oh, I think there's a long while before end times." lain: How long do you think it'll be before that last season gets underway? Are you looking forward to it?

I don't know. But Americas severe decline is obvious. I live here. No I am not looking forward to it but I am prepared for it.

We did not take over.

We, as a nation, just lead the world in violence, murder, abortion, drugs, pornography and all manner of perversions, and most of America doesn't even believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. God is judging America. You are right, sir. People say "God bless American." How CAN God bless America as wicked as America is?!

Oh, but isn't that the beauty and fun of such proclamation's? You don't have to give specifics or have any basis in objective facts you just have to be gloomy and ominous. :chuckle:

And the world followed along. The U.S. liberal ideology took sin to the world. With our Governments blessings.
