The righteous of the Lord have a blind spot or, they slide over the little matter of declining to participate in armed conflicts around the world. In other words, our aggression on, and domination of, other weak countries that won't hit back never figures in their list of unrighteous deeds. The righteous of the Lord shun the sex industry but not the arms industry and the armed forces - and all this warfare has been on the other nations' holy soil who simply wanted to be left well alone! The righteous of the Lord taking part in such unrighteous activities is hypocritical and sinful.
Bible believing believers are reluctant to endorse peace talks between Israel and Palestine. They say that peace can only come when Jesus returns - and we have all been waiting for that to happen for 2,000 years. Or, if everyone were to believe on the Lord Jesus and be saved. A reluctance to enter into peace talks to get a just resolution after 65 years of intermittent killing is boosted by their interpretation of Scripture and simply means continuing injustice and periodic violence. It invites the charge of complacency and an attitude of care-lessness.
Exactly, as does the oft repeated refrain, from those made right by God and who are now on God's side, that He is in control and we have nothing to fear and nothing to do. Some of the rest of poor humanity, on the devil's side, insist that Nature is in control and, if we don't get our numbers and our activities in harmony with the powers of the earth to support life, then collapsing life support systems will do the job for us - as we get our inevitable and, rightful, come uppance. I know which side I charge with being complacent, dangerous and very foolish!
