"e;Killing guidelines and dogmas of the cunning leaders are so subtly sophisticated."e; "e;If a war lasts many years, not only offenders have usually cruel actions, but also defenders could sometimes commit atrocities. Both sides denounce each other. This makes people confused; and they condemn both offenders and defenders, or they wrongly support offenders or invaders and criticize defenders or victims."e;"e; . . . Thus, gullible intellectuals like you are more harmful . . . You don't carry out fact-finding on the reality of the despotical systems which invaders implement in their country . . . but you think on your utopian ideals and read their propagandist books . . . Better I kill you to stop your wrong actions . . ."e;"e; . . . Brutality won generosity and barbary defeated civilization. Now, blindness guides clear-sightedness; dullness rules intelligence, and uneducated teaches educated."e;"e; . . . Both of us know they're sly and cruel invaders; but fringe benefits, high positions, advantageous prerogatives, and profitable privileges are given by victors, not by defeat. Be clever to procure them."e;"e; . . . On the other hand, the consecutive governments of this country are implementing pragmatic policies: they welcome us as businesspersons; we bring great amounts of money to this country; they don't care about our dictatorship. Refugees like you have so many misunderstandings . . . Money conquers everything."e;
You may be a seeker or doubter. You may know very little about Jesus Christ and the Christian faith. But if you want to know God, that's all that matters. He's been trying to get our attention. This book hasn't fallen into the wrong hands. Yes, it was intended for you, not someone else. Just trust in God. Fill up on the Word of God. It's called the renewing of your mind. According to Thy Word in Romans 12:2, it allows the anointing to transform the way you think. It will change your mind and will stir up inside you. What will you choose-to let the Good Shepherd find you or continue in the illusion that you don't need to surrender to anyone? According to Thy Word in Matthew 18:3, Jesus tells us that unless we find a way to recapture our innocence, we will find it hard to enter his Kingdom. Just trust in God, and He will do the wonders in your life. If you can trust a pilot you haven't seen and let him take you off down the runway and into the air without fear or no thought of harm, you can put your trust in God. So get you a word of wisdom and start living according to Thy Word.
