Dearest Farkel... may you have peace... and may I ask you: have we 'different' fathers, you and I? In truth, while I know you are not 'heeding' ours when he speaks to you and warns you of what is causing you so much... 'grief' in your life, at NO time have I not considered you my brother. And you know this. I am, then, at a loss as to what you are referring to.
Dearest TR... SixofNine and Angel... peace to you, as well. Again, I am confused. Have you not heard, did you not read, and have I not related it to you HERE... where my Lord says "MY sheep hear my voice" and "MY sheep know my voice"? What, then, are you dear ones missing on this? The people you are referring to, those that perpetuated BOTH sides of this issue, if even indeed they ARE those... do NOT belong to my Father. Neither worship the Holy One of Israel, for NEITHER listen to the voice of my Lord when HE says: "You must LOVE your enemy."
The U.S. has brought this tragedy upon its innocent people, and the perpetrators have brought it upon theirs. The 'leaders' of NEITHER side, however... CARE. This is a POWER struggle, in many ways... for many reasons. A matter of domination, whether technically or literally... large or small. And the ENTIRE issue is at the risk of many, MANY innocent victims. So, yeah, let's kill a few more... what the hell. They're only lives, right? Many decry the activity of my Father when HE takes 'vengeance'... yet, many of those same ones are crying now, "An eye for an eye! A life for a life!"
I marvel that people don't BELIEVE in my Father, yet decry His 'inactivity'. They don't BELIEVE He speaks, yet says "Why can't they hear Him, why aren't THEY listening." If, dear ones... ISRAEL ain't listening... how is it that you wish to know why those are AREN'T Israel... aren't listening and can't 'hear'? Even if YOU can't hear... and YOU don't listen... and yet, YOU know better than to sell arms to small countries so that they devastate one another; YOU know better than to perpetuate wars and your culture on those who do not 'wish' it; YOU know better than to hijack planes and kill thousands of innocent people. You do not 'hear' and yet, you know enough NOT to do such things. Yes?
And yet... YOU do not 'hear'.
Why in the WORLD would you think George Bush... or Osama Ben Laden (IF, him)... would 'listen'. George Bush is quoted as saying, "Today, our nation saw evil." But EVERY DAY, dear ones, OTHER nations 'see evil', as a result of arms sold by the U.S. YOU know this... and yet, you ask "why" this particular tragedy? May I ask YOU... why is an American life worth MORE... than any other? IS it?
He is also quoted as saying to pray for the families of the victims (which ANYONE should/would do, including you dear ones...) and quoted the Book of Psalms, "And I pray they will be comforted by a power greater than any of us spoken through the ages in Psalm 23. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil for you are with me." WHO, pray tell, is the "you" of which George Bush speaks? My Father? My Lord? I most certainly do not THINK so. You cannot possess SUCH hypocrisy... and be heard by my Father. I truly does not work that way.
THIS tragedy... was 'scripted', dear ones, by 'earthling' man... on BOTH sides of the coin. Truly, can you BE a 'superpower'... or power of ANY type... in THIS world... and not sacrifice innocent lives? We instill the SAME 'hatred' for the 'enemy' in our children as others do in theirs. We just do it a bit more subtlely... and pretty it up in movies and videos. But we 'perpetuate hatred' as well as the next nation. The German, Japanese, Cuban, Chinese, Russian... and certain Middle Eastern... are all our 'enemies'... at one time or another. And yes, while the U.S. DOES provide some world 'protection'... it does it at ITS own whim, when there is som political... or economical BENEFIT to do so. And... YOU KNOW THIS, too.
Can you have such hypocrisy... and NOT have casualties? Truly?
I am in NO way condoning what took place, but I cannot... WILL not... let the blame for what earthling man DESIRES... and its resultant consequences... fall on my Father. It is lie. Man... is doing... and has done... and will YET do... what pleases HIM... even to the INJURY... of other man. Why? Because HE WANTS IT THAT WAY. And my Father has conceded... to let man... have his 'way'. For now.
I bid you all peace, and I am yet still,
YOUR servant... and a slave of Christ,
SJ
