Going back to the subject of this thread, are you seriously suggesting that one of the parties involved is acting out of love for God and the other isn’t?
In reverse order; one of the parties involved launched a premeditated and heartless attack which was driven by *evil married to the worst anti-semitic agenda of our generation. Hamas knew 100% what the response would be, yet it still wanted it's day in the headlines despite the consequences. The only love that Israel is currently concerned about is a love for it's citizens who they pledged to protect and guarantee that protection so they can live in safety, Israel being a country the size of Wales surrounded by sworn enemies for most of it's recent and past history.

* While this is part of their agenda to reverse the events of 1947/48, let's not forget the diagnosis of the human heart - "For from the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery....". While you or I may not have actual blood on our hands, neither of us along with everyone else can't say that we've not wanted certain people dead, and by God's standard that makes us all guilty.

Back with God, you and I are City fans who go back well over half a Century, so we've both lived through more than enough evidence to see the bigger picture here. God isn't offering love, He is Love. What He is offering is forgiveness and a life with real purpose and a real prospect; and to people like myself who certainly don't deserve any of it.
No doubt you are a man who believes in justice, do you think it is right that the likes of Saville, Hitler & West should receive no greater punishment than minor criminals who may have only stolen because they were hungry?
