Guys,
We never need to forget our IFB stand with the nation of Israel. Dr. J. Frank Norris the 1st IFB helped President Harry S. Truman also a Baptist with his ideas on the nation of Israel. We must always recall our founding and take stands, no matter what happens. Atlas Quote:

Dr. J. Frank Norris' Letter on Israel to
Shalom Atlas,
Thank you for printing this. It made me cry...this is so needed at this time. I have been fortunate to have gone to Israel several times, have walked the streets..was able to have gone places that now is off limits to the Jewish people,tourists etc. Its so heartbreaking and maddening to watch and hear whats happening there..and to understand that our Government is pushing, pushing Israel..helping her enemies. Most christians and non-christians have NO CLUE what is going on..and doesn't understand GOD's covenant with the Jewish people..and I hear things like," Oh well, those people over there have always fought, there will never be peace...its OVER THERE,NOT HERE". WOW. 911 has shown them, its NOT just over there, its everywhere. Someone sent me a story several years ago, some of you might know it..I put it in my files...and feel its right to post it today....its a very eye opening view.. I went to the site it was originally posted? Have never been on that site...scrolled down and some advertisments are distasteful, sorry for that. Military Story -- Don't Close Your Blinds. http://outspoken.typepad.com/outspok...tary_stor.html A The other day, my nine year old son wanted to know why we were at war. My husband looked at our son and then looked at me. My husband and I were in the Army during the Gulf War and we would Be honored to serve and defend our Country again today. I knew that my husband would give him a good explanation. My husband thought for a few minutes and then told my son to go stand in our front living room window. He said "Son, stand there and tell me what you see?" "I see trees and cars and our neighbor's houses." he replied. "OK, now I want you to pretend that our house and our yard is the United States of America and you are President Bush." Our son giggled and said "OK." "Now son, I want you to look out the window and pretend that every house and yard on this block is a different country" my husband said. "OK Dad, I'm pretending." "Now I want you to stand there and look out the window and pretend You see Saddam come out of his house with his wife, he has her by the hair and is hitting her. You see her bleeding and crying. He hits her in the face, he throws her on the ground, then he starts to kick her to death. Their children run out and are afraid to stop him, they are screaming and crying, they are watching this but do nothing because they are kids and they are afraid of their father. You see all of this son.... what do you do?" "Dad?" "What do you do son?" "I'd call the police, Dad." "OK. Pretend that the police are the United Nations and they take Your call, listen to what you know and saw, but they refuse to help. What do you do then son?" "Dad.......... but the police are supposed to help!" My son starts To whine. "They don't want to son, because they say that it is not their place Or your place to get involved and that you should stay out of it," my husband says "But Dad...he killed her!!" my son exclaims. "I know he did...but the police tell you to stay out of it. Now I Want you to look out that window and pretend you see our neighbor who you're pretending is Saddam turn around and do the same thing to his children." "Daddy...he kills them?" "Yes son, he does. What do you do?" "Well, if the police don't want to help, I will go and ask my next door neighbor to help me stop him." our son says. "Son, our next door neighbor sees what is happening and refuses to get involved as well. He refuses to open the door and help you stop him," my husband says. "But Dad, I NEED help!!! I can't stop him by myself!!" "WHAT DO YOU DO SON?" Our son starts to cry. "OK, no one wants to help you, the man across the street saw you ask for help and saw that no one would help you stop him. He stands taller and puffs out his chest. Guess what he does next son?" "What Daddy?" "He walks across the street to the old ladies house and breaks down her door and drags her out, steals all her stuff and sets her house on fire and then...he kills her. He turns around and sees you standing in the window and laughs at you. " WHAT DO YOU DO?" "Daddy..." "WHAT DO YOU DO?" Our son is crying and he looks down and he whispers, "I'd close the blinds, Daddy." My husband looks at our son with tears in his eyes and asks him..."Why?" "Because Daddy.....the police are supposed to help people who needs them...and they won't help.... You always say that neighbors are supposed to HELP neighbors, but they won't help either...they won't help me stop him...I'm afraid....I can't do it by myself Daddy.....I can't look out my window and just watch him do all these terrible things and...and.....do nothing...so....I'm just going to close the blinds.... so I can't see what he's doing........ and I'm going to pretend that it is not happening." I start to cry. My husband looks at our nine year old son standing in the window, looking pitiful and ashamed at his answers to my husbands questions and he says..."Son" "Yes, Daddy." "Open the blinds because that man.... he's at your front door..."WHAT DO YOU DO?" My son looks at his father, anger and defiance in his eyes. He balls up his tiny fists and looks his father square in the eyes, without hesitation he says: "I DEFEND MY FAMILY DAD!! I'M NOT GONNA LET HIM HURT MOMMY OR MY SISTER, DAD!!! I'M GONNA FIGHT HIM, DAD, I'M GONNA FIGHT HIM!!!!!" I see a tear roll down my husband's cheek and he grabs our son to his chest and hugs him tight, and says... "It's too late to fight him, he's too strong and he's already at YOUR front door son.....you should have stopped him BEFORE he killed his wife, and his children and the old lady across the way. You have to do what's right, even if you have to do it alone, before it's too late." my husband whispers. THAT scenario I just gave you is WHY we are at war with Iraq. When good men stand by and let evil happen son, THAT is the greatest EVIL of all. Our President is doing what is right. We, as a free nation, must understand that this war is a war of humanity. WE must remove evil men from power so that we can continue to live in a free world where we are not afraid to look out our window, so that my nine year old son won't grow up in a world where he feels that if he just "closes the blinds" the atrocities in the world won't affect him. "YOU MUST NEVER BE AFRAID TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT! EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO DO IT ALONE!" Posted by Shaun McGill on Thursday, September 30, 2004 at 09:41 PM | Permalink Blessings and Peace, Billie |
Billie,
Thank you for your kind reply. We as a nation need to understand that the enemies of the nation of Israel are also our enemies, as stated by Dr. Norris in his letter. You can also see this today in the wars we are fighting and who we are fighting. We also need to understand that we as a nation need to help our friends, the Jews. Sadly many in our nation do not understand how the Jews helped finance our War of Independence. Without the Jewish money and the Jewish bankers we would not have had the weapons to defeat the English, and our nation would have never been independent with out the Jews and Jewish bankers. The history education ( if you can call it that ) never teaches real history in our public schools any more. This is part of the problem. We also need to understand that God gave the Jews the nation of Israel, and that the gifts and callings of God are without repentance. God never backs out on his gifts or callings. We have been blessed by the Lord for standing with the nation of Israel. If the Baptist and other Christians in our nation would stand up for the nation of Israel, we could solve some of our own problems. The problem there is many Christians " that just want to get along " and will not take any stand whatsoever on the Israel issue. It's a lack of historical and Bible knowledge. This is the real problem. Even a non-Christian man could from historical knowledge alone see why we as a nation need to stand with the Jews. Look at world war 2 for an example. How many American lives were lost fighting the enemies of the Jews? I do not know the number, but it was a very costly war in the number of lives lost. We have the same issues in the world today. Hate for the Jews has once again started even more wars. We are fighting the enemies of the Jews with one hand and helping them with the other. Granting money to Hamas and other evil anti Jew hate groups. We put down the KKK, Nazi's and other groups in our own nation that hate blacks and Jews, yet if you live in the Mid East and hate Jews we will support you financially and back you in a land grab so you can have your own nation. This is unbelievable. We are helping our own enemies as well as the enemies of the Jews and the nation of Israel. This is utter madness to send them money and feed and cloth our own enemies while asking the Jews to give up land to those mutual enemies. Such is the Biblical and historical madness of the last days. Atlas |
