James – God did not promise North America to the Europeans so yes we should apologize the the native people for genocide and taking their land.

May I exhort all Christians reading this post to consider that God has used pagan kings and rulers to accomplish HIs ends in the past. Nebuchadnezzar in the book of Daniel… The books of Ezra – Nehemiah are great examples of this. I thank God that something like this RESPONSE is happening, if not for any other reason than to remind Christians throughout our land to pray “for kings …and for all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.” (I Timothy 2:1-3).

fear-based theology

Oh James if you don’t mind I am going to “lift” this one from you. I am a frequent participant in an Evangelical Website and will have many occasions to use “fear based theology”

I do remember that God used pagan nations to punish Israel at times and then he punished and judged the pagan nations as well. So…
He really isn’t happy with paganism and idolatry. Ignorance of the law is no excuse unfortunately. That’s why we have missionaries preaching the gospel to people who have not heard that their sins can be forgiven.
Unfortunately also, when you go into any newly discovered lands, there are always going to be unscrupulous people on both sides fighting each other. The people who were already there don’t have some monopoly on virtue. They are sinners just like the sinners who come and take advantage of them. We all deserve judgement.
