Trump And Iran

-The Trump administration is not giving any rational, consistent basis for their attacking Iran.


-Therefore, this is an unjust war.


-The US is shooting million dollar missiles at $50,000 Iranian drones and missiles in an attempt to take them out. I’ve heard that they’ve shot up to 11 of these and still failed to take out the Iranian weapon.


-Even if Iran never hit another target, it would be a great tradeoff for each $50,000 Iranian investment to cost the US millions of dollars. That is foolish and unsustainable. We’re already massively in debt.


-There were multiple articles from reputable newspapers reporting that 100 or so Iranian school girls were killed by a US strike. I haven’t heard any further reporting on that, so I don’t know if that is being swept under the rug, or if there’s some reason to doubt that is true. But if it’s true, whatever Americans participated in that need to be executed for murder.


-If that is being swept under the rug, we’re not doing the perpetrators any favors by shielding them from prosecution. They will stand before God as murderers either way. Will they be informed by men of that fact or will men assuage their consciences? Which scenario would make these murderers more likely to seek the forgiveness in Christ and spend eternity in heaven?


-The likelihood of the Iranian regime change here is unlikely. What is victory here? Do they put in ground troops, which is almost certainly required for regime change? That would be completely stupid.


-If America is fighting an unjust war and killing innocent Iranians, how are we not extremely worried about God’s wrath? We already deserve God’s wrath. At what point do we run out of God’s mercy?


-What percentage of pastors are asking that question? If it’s not some large majority, American evangelicalism is in big trouble.


-Are pastors just going to keep preaching the same milk as always? At what point do we start applying Scripture to the real world and stop navel-gazing?
