Could you see Jesus flying a plane and dropping a bomb that killed people?

 

If not, then how can you support a candidate who supports war?

 

Do you deny that God said 'love your enemy, bless those who curse you. . . turn the other cheek'?

 

How do any of these line up with the concept of war?

All I know is God killed many people if we're taking the Bible literally....

Not after Jesus.

Where does Jesus talk about that?

Where did I say anything about Jesus?

Jesus comes back in Revelations not as the Jesus we see in the Gospels.

So, let me understand the implication you have made in answering my thread and give you a chance to be clear on your actions.

 

War bad.

Abortion is acceptable.

 

 

For the record, both are bad.

First of all, Jesus wouldn't be flying a plane or wouldn't ave a bomb....he wouldn't need either one.

 

As for anything else, not sure what Jesus would do but I am sure that he will protect Israel and I would feel sorry for anyone that goes against them. That is one of if not the main thing that worries me about Obama. He has stated that he wants to sit down and talk with people that have openly said they want to blow Israel off the face of the earth(whic will never happen, not my word...God's word). God said that he would Bless those that protect his people (Israel), that imo is the main reason why we have been blessed with the country that we have, the greatest country in the world. The United States has been Israel's biggest allie(spelling?) throughout history and the United States is the most blessed, greatest country in the world. Should one not believe that fact then I can't help you. Just take a look at some of these other countries, especially the ones that have went against Israel.

 

If this is off topic then I apologize. I was just giving an example of why support some wars. Every place our troops are at protecting our freedom in this war on terror hates Israel. These animals have also done unspeakable acts against human beings along with attacking our nation on our soil. So Yes, I believe in supporting a cantidate that supports this war :thumb:.....we are at war with ones that want to destroy our way of life. This is one war that we MUST finish and win and not give in/surrender like one certain cantidate and his 20+ year friends (admitted terrorist, radical pastors that hate America) and some others wants to do.

There has never been a pacifist president and this election is no different. While one may oppose the conflict in Iraq while the other did not, neither opposed the action in Afghanistan. The world in which we currently live does not and will not support a completely pacifist president. It's an interesting idea and so completely radical that I can't even envision what that might be like.

Can you see Jesus taking money that you earn by force and then giving it away to people who refuse to work? Can you see Jesus accepting illegal campaign donations or enabling voter fraud by hiring an organization whose members had been convicted of voter fraud to help his get out the vote effort? Can you see Jesus associating with terrorists without actively working to get them to repent?

 

McCain is not Jesus but neither is Obama. Maybe instead of comparing political leaders to Jesus, comparing them to other contemporary political leaders like Hugo Chavez, for example, would be more appropriate.

Excellent point, Getslow. I always appreciate it when it is pointed out that we have two conflicts (how's that Habib? ) occurring, both for different reasons. People might agree with the decisions made to undergo one and not with the other...YET support troops in both.

acemona,

 

I am sure that you have little respect for the Catholic Church, but I think it would be of interest to you to see Thomas Aquinas's Just War Theory. It provides criteria to go to war, guidelines on ethical action during war, and the most ethical way to end a war.

Great post, Obama and some of his supporters seem to think that he his. Those are in for a very rusde awakening egardless of this election outcome. As I have said all along, forget all of Obama's policies (and I dislike 99.9% of them). Look at who he associates himself with and has for an great number years, only recently cutting ties (supossedly:sssh:).

This man, his friends, associates (and at least one family member) are dangerous in many ways. JMO
