I suspect that Israel knew that the attack was coming and took offline many of the safeguards that were in place to prevent such an attack, like moving Israeli soldiers from around Gaza to the West Bank shortly before the attack took place. I agree that this is like Israel's pearl harbor and 9/11 becuase, like pearl harbor and 9/11, this attack likely could have been stopped by those who were in charge, but instead was allowed to take place in order to trick the public into supporting going to war.

Yes, it was men who wrote the scriptures as they were lead by the spirit of God. Trust me, a million and one questions will arise when reading the Bible. The most important verses, in my humble opinion, were written about love. The apostle Paul wrote the following in a letter to the Corinthian church in the spring of 53, 54, or 55, after the death of Jesus, which beautifully sums up what love is and isn’t.

“If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.”

“Love is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud, never haughty or selfish or rude. Love does not demand its own way. It is not irritable or touchy. It does not hold grudges and will hardly even notice when others do it wrong. It is never glad about injustice, but rejoices whenever truth wins out. If you love someone, you will be loyal to him no matter what the cost. You will always believe in him, always expect the best of him, and always stand your ground in defending him.”

“All the special gifts and powers from God will someday come to an end, but love will go on forever!”

I trust you will accept my note as I’ve intended and as much as I wish you to know Christ, I also wish you much love, my friend!
