It seems to me whether it's true or not depends on how you read it. If you read it at the worldly level and conclude Lao Tse is saying in effect, "God, in God's compassion, arms those God would like to see win the battle with the ability to do so," I think the answer is no, it's not true. If you read it to mean, "God imbues with love those whom God intends for eternal life," yes, I think this is true. PW
