Repentance Warfare

During interrogation, police are allowed to make accusations, lie about or make up evidence, yell at the suspects or get in their faces. According to the law, police are allowed to use the tactic trickery or lying to receive a confession from the suspect. The assumption the police officers make is that no matter how many lies told, a person will not state they are guilty if they truly did not commit the crime. In the case shown in the video, Confession, the police told one of the men that he had failed a polygraph (lie detector) test, even though he had passed it. I believe this tactic is unjust. I admit, I tend to do this to people because I want to know if they are telling me the truth. However, when it comes to a person potentially being convicted and receiving the death penalty or time in jail, I believe the tactic that was used was not right. Joe Dick was interrogated for eight hours. He claimed that he was told every thirty seconds that he was lying and he was going to be sentenced to the death penalty. In Confession, Richard Leo made a valid point stating that people who are tortured will say anything to make the pain stop. Also, people who have the torture mechanism waved in their face will state that they are guilty to avoid being tortured. Joe had the death penalty waved in his face. He was given an ultimatum of the death penalty or tell the truth? In addition, the police officers repeated told Joe that he was lying and the lie detector proved this. What other

I would constantly annoy people due to my excessive apologizing. This fervor of guilt would culminate into me apologizing for apologizing, which would then leave me feeling guilty due to bothering people with all my apologizing. To me, minor offenses such as cursing and lying seemed grave enough for the death sentence, so

Sometimes there is no win-win, and we have to be willing to forgive and to move forward. Psalms 130:3 “If you, Lord kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand” (New International Version). Clearly, there is none among us who is without

While numerous teachings Jesus conveyed were challenging, many people believe his call for forgiveness to be extremely difficult to practice. It is not easy to pardon, or even love someone who has betrayed us. These sins people commit against can leave behind scars, and it can take a long time in order for our pain to be healed (Saint Mary’s Bible,1456). Moreover, when we have been wronged, it might be tempting to seek revenge against on the person who has done us wrong, to make him or her hurt as we have been. Additionally, if we do not seek vengeance, we might hold onto feelings directed against that person and well into the future. After we have been wounded in a specific way it is difficult to let our guard down and be vulnerable again

Hedges argues that war is both a deadly addiction—a drug that offers an unmatchable intoxication, the thrill of being released from the moral strictures of everyday life—and a unifying force that provides a sense of meaning, purpose, and self-sacrifice that can wash away life's trivial concerns. But the meaningfulness of combat, Hedges suggests, depends upon the myth of war. In reality, no matter what grand cause it is supposed to support, war is simply the basest form of aggression: "organized murder." Once war begins, the moral universe collapses and every manner of atrocity can be justified in the eyes of those who wage it, because the cause is just, the enemy is inhuman, and only war can restore balance to the world. Hedges reveals the

I usually begin to resolve conflicts by remembering how much God have forgiven me, that usually makes easier for me to forgive whatever they have done against me. I try to use the Scriptures for wisdom since I don't trust my own judgment. From this point on, I hop t trust more in The Lord.

Guilt isn’t always a rational thing. Everybody is guilty of the good things that they didn’t do. Maybe there’s something more that could have been done, there always is right? All that’s left then is the guilt acting as a reminder to do better next time. Redemption is something you have to fight for yourself in a personal way. Some people stray and lose sight of that, some reach it

Authors compose books so people can receive a new point of view on horrors of war.

The implications of the war in Ian McEwan's ‘Atonement' and Wilfred Owen's poetry go far beyond putting their work into a historical perspective. The war's true importance in ‘Atonement' is to help delve deeper into the psyche of a character that has lost all consciousness of reality in this way Owen uses war as a symbol of the tragedy of human life. Both texts reflect on the idea that suffering, waste, violence and evil are the necessary conditions of human life and more importantly they shed light on the unspoken soldier's experiences that could not have their story told in any other way.

"The next dreadful thing to a battle lost is a battle won," by Duke of Wellington. With this statement, Duke is saying that a battle won is just as bad as a battle lost because there are still lives lost and nations are still negatively affected by it. I believe that William James, writer of the Moral Equivalent of War, would agree with Duke's statement. Reason being that James is against war; he lets us know this in his essay as he describes his utopia to be a world in peace. Although, he realizes that it is not likely that nations could bring an end to all wars and that peace would forever remain a part of every nation.

Once we recognize God’s true love for us and see the need of looking to Christ to change our hearts rather than trying to do it on our own, we see our need of repentance, which involves a change of direction, turning our back on previous intentions and actions, and seeking new direction in life. Instead of making excuses, blaming circumstances or others, repentance means taking full responsibility. King David, after committing murder and adultery appealed to Christ: "Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me" (Psalms 51:10). He accepted his guilt and asked for a new direction – from Christ.

Although we were not saved by works, we are called to respond to God by doing the works he prepared for

God is evermore updating our knowledge of His ways and how He does things through upgrading our revelation. He does this by bringing it up-to-date and current for the times we are living. Spiritual warfare of the end times will not be the same level of spiritual warfare we got away with in times past. Spiritual warfare intensifies at high-speed as Satan 's fury increases because he knows his time is short and his impending doom soon approaching. It is a fury unleashed on all mankind unlike any other time in history. The Bible predicts it yet we are experiencing the beginnings of birthing pains that will either make us or break us. We will overcome or be overcome. There is no middle ground. God desires us to be equipped with every spiritual advantage and He is revealing vital information in His Word if we will take heed and pay attention:

The “Art of War” and “De Re Militari” two military treatises were written one continent and around five centuries apart by authors that came from two vastly different backgrounds and cultures. Both authors penned treatises intended to inform and educate commanders about war yet the underlying theme is not victory but to ensure the survivability of their soldiers in battle. Sun Tzu and Vegetius differ on their ideas of this specifically on the relationship the military holds between the governing body as well as relations with the civilian population. However, what they do come together on ideas of efficient battle that minimizes Soldier loss as much as possible.
