The ongoing war in Europe represents yet another failure by Christendom to live up to her claims of being Christian. It's not simply the fact that she has once again provided ammunition to the haters of Christ and his God by indulging in yet another industrial scale bloodbath. But that the leaders of the churches, rather than exerting any moderating influence, have been pouring fuel on the flames. By way of a reminder here is the kind of fruit that our Lord indicated ought to be expected of any tree planted by his God and Father John14:35KJV"By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another" in other words the opposite of what has historically been(and indeed presently is) the case with Christendom. Now, for the sincere truth seeker, there is a global community of Christian who have by JEHOVAH'S grace have been able to resist relentless pressure from the world's political establishment to take sides nationalistic and revolutionary wars of the present age and thus fulfill our Lord's prophecy to the glory of his God and Father .
I don't expect that my words will meet with universal agreement, indeed our Lord warn us that as was the case with him ,few will see the obvious blessing of the Lord JEHOVAH upon his people.
John15:20NIV"Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.'" but hopefully you would at least understand why I don't find the claim that Satan could succeed in teaching his servants to live in peace while God has consistently failed to do so impressive.
