Response re K.T. Acceptance of the permissive will of God does not necessitate appeasement of evil by inaction. Our imitation of Christ should be accurate. His death on Calvary was not an appeasement to evil His resurrection demands our constant effort to eradicate evil, sometimes by force. It is too easy for K.T. to ask that the victims feel the comforting presence of God while espousing the philosophy that nations have a need for accepting evil. No government should give in to teerrorist demands...but it is irrational to not be aware that allowing slaughter of innocents through an ultimatum followed by doing nothing is in effect giving in to evil demands. What kind of peace is possible without freedom? Freedom to choose came abt before sacrifice of sin became necessary. It is an inalienable right which Christians have the responsibility to defend for these Korean Brothers and Sisters...as well as praying that they receive peace through grace.

The United Nations is probably the most ineffective organization ever created for settling worldwide problems. As people of God and followers of Christ are we not incensed over this ruthless murder of innocent Christians . God please help you people and save them.

In the USA, a group of democrats are corrupt. There has to be a base for conquering satans empire. The demorats out number sincere christian republicans. 70% area. I love the lord,s lord of universe 1 and the the lord GOD. I feel that God loved the foundation of a fighting church family and not my individual serious money and war friends problems. God needs our hands. Satans army in the USA has stopped sanctified christians for over hundreds of years. Has murdered them and used corrupt agents of the USA. This means a low amount of sincere educated businessmen and politicians.I am a christian. I do not have a army. I have been killed by several persons. Satanic angels can read minds and control a large portion of the world. They satanist mobs know that I know. Sincere christian politicians are 100% needed. Not just outside( here fully) prayers and ministers. They know God is going to win. Stop evil officers,doctors and psychiatrists killer mobs. Learn how to be a servant! Hill Pray!.

In response to G.R.: While I agree that Islam is not a religion from God, it's inaccurate to boil down Islamic beliefs to "Fabrications and Falsifications, Obfuscation nd Prevarication, Treachery and deceit, violence and sex." The vast majority of Muslims do not condone Al-Qaeda's or the Taliban's actions or beliefs. When you have a Muslim friend try to get you to read the Qur'an in an honest attempt to save you from Hell, or when you visit the Middle East and have every cab driver you talk to tell you that Christianity and Islam are really the same, then you will understand this.

As long as the Us is catering to the wims - and deceptions - of the Saudis this situation will continue. We have to understand that the pillars of Islam are; Fabrications and Falsifications, Obfuscation nd Prevarication, Treachery and deceit, violence and sex. Any one who thinks Islam is a Divine religion is either a fool or playing the fool. Islam is and has always been a Satanic cult no more no less.

Our prayer is that the South Korean Christians will experience a comforting presence of God and find solace in the missions task they have undertook, despite the dangers facing them. The world becomes a better place as Christians continue to spread the message of peace, hope and love. May this message bring nations together to negotiate a settlement not only for the release of the hostages, but also to the realization that our continued existence is founded upon needing one another despite our national differences.

Very difficult situation indeed but U.S can do more than sit back and say-no concessions to terrorists....what is CIA doing? Probably they should ask for Israel's help for some rescue mission...seems only western lives are precious....not Asian ones

How long can the world tolerate this kind of conduct? The United Nations is probably the most ineffective organization ever created for settling worldwide problems. As people of God and followers of Christ are we not incensed over this ruthless murder of innocent Christians attempting to bring peace and relief to the people of Afghanistan? We cannot appease terrorists but should make every effort to find a way to save these South Korean Christrians from this illegal captivity. I hope this incident will force every good nation to band together to bring peace to Afghanistan, save these innocent captives, and make every effort to wipe out the Taliban and terrorists wherever we find them.
