We stale-mated with North Korea because we could not beat them and their chineese 'comrads' the first time around. They had 60 years to beef themselves back up, what makes you think we will be able to walk over them the second time around?
The short answer is overwhelming technological superiority. It's the involvement of china that presents a threat, not north korea.
Quote:With that in mind. If we can get the people of North Korea to see their current 'god' as anything but then maybe so many of them will not be willing to die for him. This is where the bibles come in. With an absolute standard in which to measure a 'deity' the Kims all fall far short.
Yeah that's it, tell them they'll all burn in hell for worshipping a false idol. That'll work :p
What they need is access to outside information sources.
Quote:If everyone has a bible, then it is quite easy to see any mandate given by mr.kim to be evidence that he is a false 'god.'
Only if they believe the bible. Unrestricted internet access would do the job a lot better.
Quote:I know you guys believe that anyone can use the bible to say anything, and they can to a degree if the people listening to him want to hear it. But, if the believer's goal is to know the God of the bible and worship Him then it becomes far too easy to see the fakers.
Really? So how come there is so much dissent over that very issue?
The church founders didn't have a fucking clue either. That's why they had to meet up and decide it for themselves. They didn't get direct from scripture. They didn't get it from divine revelation. They sat down and decided that jesus was god. The holy trinity didn't even exist until they pulled it out of their collective arses.
Even if you truly think they do need the bible, surely you must see that there are other, more important things they need first?
