Christians: What is your justifications for supporting a war?

I don't think for one instant that God condones War. War is typically due to evil, power hungry, repressive MEN. TO maintain justice and freedom GOOD men are sometimes required to take up "the sword" in defense of their lives, liberty and the liberty of others who can not defend themselves.

All the good in the world can not STOP evil from running amuck! Good resides in mens hearts & the lives they lead. There is no justification for WAR - it is sometimes just a necessary step to suppress the evil that is in the world.

What are you talking about? JW's and Family Radio are Christians too, but they have no political views that much. They are political neutral. How do you know that all Christians support the war? It's like saying that all Christians are conservatives. I'll have you know that I'm both liberal and conservative.

Evil prospers when Good men do nothing.

Like war world 2. Would it really be rightous to sit back and let hilter kill all the Jews.

Also the old testement is all about war

@fireball

Just curious, it says in you profile that you are an army vetern.

I am a born again Christian and I do not support the war especially one that no one can explain why it was started to begin with.

Romans 13

Submission to the Authorities

1Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong.

Everything in the world of form is created from God’s substance. Therefore, every living soul is a son or daughter of God. You have the free will and the creative potential to build your individuality upon the foundation laid by your spiritual parents.

Therefore, life can be seen as a process through which your soul is constantly building its sense of identity. In an overall sense, you are meant to keep building your sense of identity until you reach a point where you realize that you are an individualization of God and that you have the full creative powers of God himself/herself.

The carnal mind has a tendency to create idols. Therefore, people were quick to turn sons of Gods at different times in our history (Jesus Christ, Mohammad, Buddha, Krishna) into an idol and to start believing that the statement that I was the only son of God was universally true. Let me make it very clear that every living soul is, in reality, a son or daughter of God. If the soul does not identify itself as a son or daughter of God, then that soul cannot express the fullness of its divine potential. The soul has the potential to act as a son or daughter of God, but that potential is not realized.

God as a universe and a creator has chosen different people at different points of time to shower light into the people and enlighten the human beings - their mind, body and soul. All religions lead to GOD. Belief in God, the teachings of God as inspired by Jewish, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Buddist teachings are important. People chose their path of God through the different teachings. The creator of the universe, the purpose, the significance of GOD is the final goal.

Religions by their very nature are often divisive and exclusionary because the fear of another religion can be even greater than the fear of death. When a religion claims its god to be the only true one, its believers may endeavor to eliminate a competing one by trying to convert, condemn, or kill its devotees...

Since Truth transcends concepts, Truth cannot be conceptualized. Nonduality as a teaching contains many concepts, but all of them are meant to be pointers to Truth that can only be verified by direct experience. In addition to the fact that spiritual beliefs cannot be true, no mere conceptual system can ever satisfy the yearning for wholeness which is the compulsion behind all spiritual seeking. Only direct seeing can satisfy this, and in the end, only direct seeing can lead to the realization that the individual does not exist.

I am not Christian...but war is only one thing....Bad...but I also beleive that a "God" can use armies to achieve his/her divine plan for humanity.

Mykhal

What a hypocrite, like what only Christians are responsible for wars. Have you ever heard of Hitler, Stallin, Mao just to name a few? They were NOT Christians but Atheists....
