But then looking closer to home – aren’t we all terrorists/sinners who violate the 10 commandments, who walk like time bombs ready to assault one’s brothers and sisters? How many of us are saints (non-terrorists). Examine what happens among us between the morning and evening prayers? How many terrorist acts can we uncover occurring within the body of Christ? Is it not perhaps the reason that within the Christian countries we have these increasing terrorist acts, earthquakes and weather abnormalities? If Christians were to do what they were designed to do, God would have sent His angelic legions to protect Christians. But if Christians ceased to be candle-light and salt of the Earth – Christian civilization is coming apart and the angelic legions are retained and hell is allowed to rule.

I agree with a few points, but we are discussing apples and oranges now.

You are comparing ever sin with a sin of terrorism, which begs the question what makes a Saint and a terrorist? First off, there are no Saints without sin, which by your logic would make them terrorists; as they are all subject to sin. Which begs the further question; what seperates Christians who sin from non-Christians who sin? Repentance and our RECOGNITION of what we do wrong. That is what makes a Saint, not an absence of sin.

As to terrorists, no you cannot judge them as we are fellow sinners. But God gave us the ability to recognize sin and the responsibility to look out for others. If that means stepping up to fight against those that unrepentently bring pain and sorrow, then we should.
