The history of crime, legal (as in war idepending on who is judging) and illegal, is something that started from the very beginning of mankind, whether you believe it or not, such as Cain and Abel. It makes sense to me -- however it was transmitted to God's servants to know it, understand it, and write the history down. Same as with the account of the fall of Jerusalem, the wars will rage on until God puts an end to it. He will. Mankind will flourish, but not as it is today. Have a nice day if the weather is good where you're at. Meaning no tornadoes, no hurricanes, no flooding, no fires, and so forth.
Interesting that the us prison service houses more Christian prisoners than any other group compared to population averages.
You god nor any other god put an end to these wars and conflicts each one is either one side or both, attempting to impose their faith on the other.

I have about another dozen to add when i get around to it.

And even so many still justify it today here in the States while claiming they believe in the "Prince of Peace".
Science works with evidence, if something can be evidenced then science has no problem researching it. If something is woo then science won't touch unless you can provide evidence
I have spoken to people on RF who justify the bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima
Yes, YoursTrue many don't know what biblical 'end' of the world means.
In school I was taught in science class earth will be destroyed.
In 'church' I was taught the earth will be destroyed.
So, that comes across as the ' end ' of earth, and of course end of life on earth.
One day a man said to me," I have good news for you" and he read me Ecclesiastes 1:4 B.
" The earth abides forever."- Ecclesiastes 1:4 B; Psalms 104:5
Thus, both teachings can't be right. A forever earth destroyed does Not match the Bible.
Not the end of Earth, but the end of this world of badness will end.
We are in the 'last days of badness' on Earth as described at 2 Timothy 3:1-5,13.
The last days before humble meek people will inherit the earth as Jesus promised from Psalms 37:9-11.
The ' sword-like executional words from Jesus' mouth ' will rid the earth of the wicked - Isaiah 11:3-4; Revelation 19:14-15
Jesus did Not even justify Peter using a sword - Matthew 26:51-52; John 18:11 A
1st-century Christians were politically neutral in world affairs.
They did Not even take sides getting involved in the issues of the day between the Jews verses the Romans.
Once the first century ended it was only the fake 'weed/tares' Christians who got involved with the world.
So, No genuine 'wheat' Christian was ever involved with any bombings.
So-called Christians, fake 'weed/tares' Christians, Not genuine 'wheat' Christians.
Luke forewarned that an apostasy would begin at Acts of the Apostles 20:29-30.
Both ' wheat' and 'weed' would grow together until the Harvest Time.
A harvest comes at the end of a long growing season.
So, mankind's long history shows the 'weeds' (Fake Christians) out number the genuine ' wheat ' Christians.
God is interested in 'quality' instead of 'quantity'. That is why Jesus said 'few' in Matthew chapter 7.
In your opinion.
Though it is not for you to judge other Christians by your standards. Things have moved on considerably in the last 2000 years
No, Not my opinion nor my standards but standards by what Jesus taught and lived by.
Not me, but Jesus at Matthew 26:52 and at John 18:11 A
Jesus, Not me, gave the 'wheat/weeds' illustration found at Matthew 13:24-30

The Franks, 780: post-defeat of Saxons, Charlemagne ordered forced conversion of the Saxons, mass-execution on those refusing to convert.

Faith-confidence in what we hope for (Hebrews 11)
Yes, precisely. I remember my first discussions about the Bible in earnest. While I visited and went to various houses of worship before that, never did I hear in those places the truth from the Bible that we can live forever, where there will be no more sickness, sorrow, or death. It just made so much sense to me. Thanks for your comment. Revelation 21:1-5.

They claim to be Christian. But --

I've seen posts from people declaring things are "improving" on this earth. The news is telling something else. As Jesus said, men would continue doing the usual like marrying, and other such things and at the same time things would be getting really bad, but -- then -- the end would come. Some, like those in Jerusalem while Jesus warned them, escaped. Others did not, as the arch of Titus brings out.

Nope. Taking it in context. But since for those believing in evolution or the "Big Bang" as if there is no God involved in creation, doesn't matter, does it?
Thanks I'll add it to my list
