We discussed this whole issue in terms of abortion once. And you lamented that Israel was a secular government and the other side was Muslims so of course it was not going to be good, which was just a way of not dealing with what a commitment to an anti-abortion stance would mean. Now you want me to plan the tactics and strategy that Israel should use when dealing with Hamas. A perfectly reasonable question coming from someone else. But here you are justifying choices that will lead to the deaths of unborn children. When you justify it, you don't frame it as a anti-abortion Christian. When that issue comes up, well the government of Israel is secular.
Which all wiggling around, which is what I have seen you do in all sorts of contexts. So, for you, you need to decide whether abortion and killing the unborn is OK for people to do if they are secular or not. Is it a hard rule from God, or does it depend? Does one get to look at consequences or not? And in general, those rules that come from the Bible, is it that they must be followed regardless of the consequences - and rewards and punishments are dealth with later by God? Or isn't the whole point of these moral rules that, yes, they may be hard, they may lead to negative consequences in this world, even catastrophic ones, but they are rules from God, period....or not?
You wiggled and avoided and never dealt with the issue. I think it's an excellent question you asked.
But as a person who has presented himself as a Christian and weighed in on the rules within that religion as sacred, then that's the issue, it seems to me you need to work out. Otherwise all your moralizing here is meaningless.
