What does a missionary trip to Iran have to do with the fact that President Obama's policies influenced the gains more moderate minds made in Iran's April elections?

The promises made to Abraham used to harvest political hay in debate? Precisely what I'm talking about. Your religion co-opted by your politics.

As I have said to you now repeatedly. Spiritual truths, (particularly in this case as they pertain to prophesy, which is just history already witnessed by God Himself, but written to us who are ruled by time in the future tense) and secular truths do not contradict one another. It was you who made reference to the Beattitudes, was it not? In that reference you suggested that the Obama Administration's unappropriated tax dollar overtures to Iran, should be supported by the Church out of Christian charity. I just pointed out that I do not believe I want to fund the likes of the Ayatollah and his murderous thugs, not with my tax dollars and certainly not my charitable giving. The Iranian regime would wipe both Israel and the US off the map without hesitation. Why? Because they who worship Allah, will not tolerate any other faith. In particular though, and especially not Christianity. And what is the penalty attached to their intolerance? Oh just death by beheadings or incoming jumbo jets and such. And said intolerance, though traceable back through time to the very origins of Islam, is completely misplaced in my view seeing that there is only One true God, the God of Creation.

My reference to the Abrahamic Covenant pointed out that God will curse those who curse Israel. Now, I know there in La-La Land you all are awash in compromise and therefore absolutes seem unfair. However, God does not lie and He does not compromise. Iran as the sworn enemies of Israel will be cursed by no less than the Lord Himself, and we should not be funding Israel's or our own enemies using US dollars in any form. But since our government have chosen to bless the good folks there in Iran and slam the door on Israel, we have likely gotten ourselves on the wrong side of history as well as the wrong side of prophesy. The liberals are notorious for repackaging and relabeling and of course, revising, so it's no big surprise that you'd call the radical Islamic extremists of Iran, moderates.

But you go ahead and slam me all you want with your weak charges of a coopted Christian stand. The Framers were certainly coopted in similar terms, as the documents of our founding clearly reveal. The truth of it will stand even though the revisionist liberals to whom you subscribe, continue to do their best to pollute the US Constitution and the Scriptures with the particular leaven of your ideology.
