You put.-"Do you think that prayers and blessings are more likely than an armed uprising to end a brutal regime?"-God uses all authorities, it does not show he causes people to do wrong, people use their own will.-Part of bible, Romans 13 -4 For the one in authority is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God's servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.-New International Version (NIV)-http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+13&version=NIV-I'm not convinced the authorities of this world have enough wisdom and knowledge sometimes to cause things not to happen, and the only right wisdom and knowledge comes from being blessed by God and a way to receive that is by prayer.-Whoever does wrong will be judged by God in judgement of how much they are ignorant and there may be no defence to God of any claims of ignorance when people receive their final judgement. So may be its wise to do as Jesus said like from Matthew 7:12 below. -So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.-New International Version (NIV)-http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+7&version=NIV-If wrongdoers did not receive the knowledge and wisdom as they grew from being babies and in childhood have been ignorant in their living and you were in that situation, judging by the command in Matthew 7:12 from above, what do you desire for you, that ignorant person ?-Some situations may go beyond talking to settle things and then it becomes a judgement of the loss and gain of lives in a defence of mankind in a desire to save the better people.-Do the authorities have the right motivations to protect people ? Is resentment the right motivation ?-Continued in next post.
