[Shouldn't we all be advocating for peace, rather than justifying war?]

Bronzsnake:

what does "your guy lost" mean?

I don't understand that.  Jesus hasn't lost has he?  God hasn't lost has he?

Shouldn't we all be advocating for peace, rather than justifying war?

Ooooooh, I hope I didn't just break a rule by advocating for peace.

Jesus said: Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. 1Jo 3:15
Murder is a condition of the heart. A man or woman fighting as a soldier, or accidently killing someone are not murdering,  unless there is hatred in the heart.
Can you say there is no one you hate?
The condition of our hearts is what will matter to God.

Can you honestly tell me that there aren't soldiers fighting in Iraq who don't have hate for the enemy in THEIR heart?

Quit trying to turn this into something it's not.  This about how OFTEN I've read people here condemn the killing of American babies but NOT condemn the killing of foreign babies.  A weak Christian cannot apply their beliefs equally across the world, but instead rely on the rhetorical trickery of Satan to weasle their way out of their condoning of evil.

Saddam and the insurgents are sworn enemies of the Jews.
The Bible is clear as to how God deals with these peoples.

Bronzsnake:

You are ABSOLUTELY right.  We are told that GOD is will deal with the enemies of the Jews.  So why aren't you calling on President Bush to leave the Iraqi people alone so that GOD may deal with them and not the United States Army?  

The United States Army is not an army of God, they are not a Christian Army.  That army is not sworn to uphold the laws of God or the bible, or fight for the laws of God or the bible.  They are not sworn to defend the jews.  They are not sworn to defend the holy land in Israel.  They are sworn to defend the United States of America.

Why do you not tell the President to get the American troops out of Iraq and let "GOD deal with these peoples?"

President Bush claims to be against Abortion.  Abortion is killing.  But President Bush sends OUR armies into Iraq to kill people. They kill innocent civilians and Iraqi babies.

Why are we Christians not calling for President Bush to stop the killing of Iraqi babies?  Why aren't we calling for the President to stop killing ALL people - born and unborn?

THOU SHALT NOT KILL.

Abortion is wrong because KILLING IS WRONG.  PRESIDENT BUSH SUPPORTS KILLING INNOCENT CIVILIANS IN TRYING TO INCREASE OUR COUNTRY'S POWER IN THE WORLD.  No Christian should ever support killing and invoke God's name as his mission to do so.

President Bush is a killer.  His armies kill babies and innocent people.  If we support President Bush we support killing babies and innocent people too.

THOU SHALT NOT KILL!

Well said, Ollie.

I have been desperately saddened by what is happening to Americans and Iraqis alike by this foolish foreign policy of attacking those who did not attack us.  

We will only defeat this horrible terrorism through peacful cooperation with all nations who are threatened by terrorism.  We should look to our friends of past wars and work with them to defeat terrorism.  I pray that we will look to countries like France, Germany, as well as our current coalition to bring terrorists to justice.
