Erik Prince, Blackwater, and the CIA - PT. 2/2

The private mercenary firm Blackwater became a household name back in 2004 when the news broke that Blackwater soldiers were murdering innocent men, women, and children in Iraq. And while a few stories made mention of Blackwater founder Erik Prince, few journalists rolled up their sleeves to uncover the truth about this powerful man. But now after 5 years of shrouding himself in mystery, Erik Prince decided to grant an interview to Vanity Fair, where reporter Adam Ciralsky uncovered some startling facts about the man in charge of thousands of mercenary troops, and he spoke with Mike Papantonio recently to talk about his discoveries.

@swertinge07 so again I posit that the only Hypocracy here sir is you and your argument is just not valid.

[sass225]

@swertinge07 we must remember that throughout the Old Testament, the people of God were, like God, warriors. Moses, Joshua, the Judges, David, and the kings of Judah all led armies, and God helped them win their battles when they stood with Him. Examples of God helping His people win battles include His telling Joshua how to conquer Jericho (Josh. 6:2-5); telling him that an ambush was the way to destroy Ai (Josh. 8:1,2); telling David how to attack the Philistines (2 Sam. 5:22-25;

@swertinge07 Revelation 12:7

And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon [the Devil], and the dragon and his angels fought back.

If God is a warrior, and His angels are also warriors and fight with Him, what about Jesus Christ? Scripture reveals that he also is a warrior. The warfare he waged while completing his earthly ministry was spiritual and mental. He cast out evil spirits, stood against the evil rulers of his day, andhelped people in every way he could

@swertinge07 He threw hailstones down on the Canaanite army (Josh. 10:11); He rained down fire from heaven and burned up the enemy soldiers who came to get Elijah (2 King 1:9-15); He killed 185,000 Assyrian soldiers who were attacking Jerusalem (2 Kings 19:35); He blinded the false prophet Bar-Jesus, who stood against the teaching of Paul (Acts 13:9-11). In the future, He will throw huge hailstones, weighing about 100 pounds each, upon his enemies (Rev. 16:21)

@swertinge07 If the pacifist position were correct, it would seem logical that throughout history God would either prevent war, or at least not take sides in human conflicts, but that is not the case. God is certainly no pacifist, and the acts of our warrior-God fighting on behalf of His people, often via his angels, are seen all through the Bible. Some pertinent examples are: God removed the wheels of Egypt’s chariots as they pursued Israel, and drowned them in the sea (Ex. 14:25, 28);

@swertinge07 While there are verses that some have interpreted in a pacifist way, we assert that the belief that a person should not defend himself, his family, his society, or his nation comes from a misinterpretation of the Bible. Even a cursory reading of Scripture will show that if one were to put a sub-title on Genesis 3:7 – Revelation 20:10, it would be “GOD AT WAR.” With whom is He at war? And what are they fighting about?

@swertinge07 To protect thouse that you love is not forbiden by the bible,the torah,or the koran.

9/11 attack was against what the koran teaches in fact however defending your tribe or nation when attacked is permitted in all 3. yes If there is a god I know Hal more will be in heaven cause he served his time in hell. it was due to his devotion to his men that as many of them survived as did and got to come home and have a life.
