I am not suggesting that war in this case is a Christian device. But aren't there Christians supporting war? Isn't that pretty much against what Christ taught?

It doesn't and that's exactly the point all these countries and groups are missing who claim God as their ally and reason for all this insanity.

Are you saying that the war in Iraq and the War on Terror are wars for Christ? o.O Hardly. However, they do imply Christian values. We love our enemy in the sense we don't want anymore bloodshed. But, we aren't going to be pushed around anymore. But these wars on not furthering God's message. No war does. The killing of other humans is not really part of God's "master" plan.

It just says I am a hypocrite. Even if Christ was here as a war touting ex marine all he would be saying is I am a coward and a hypocrite. Every Christian who fights in a war, says that .

What would make you think it does? Telling others the good news in the only way to further the message of Christ.

If they survive, the Christians will tell them is all part of Gods great plan and their love ones are safe and their suffering has ended, but the surviver must endure more test

It doesn't.
The government says you should fight.
Do you think the Government is for God?
I don't think so.
However, when you are in the service or are called to serve the Government, you must go.
If a declared war, you refuse, they can execute you.

Well if you cant talk to them trying to convert them to an altered religion that they will never convert to just threaten to kill them, like the imperial age, and "GOD IS GOING TO reward you for converting them even though you were threatening to kill someone's precioius life that you see no value in" or that "Jesus is going to ask for your forgiveness on the day of Judgement even though you were the biggest sinner there was and he's hypothetically going to say he's my follower even though he didn't do anything i say"
