John 18:36 " My kingdom is not of this world: If my kingdom were of this world; (then would my servents fight)....." Jesus said this so please don't get mad at me. And yes I love and respect our country and the men and women who protect it,but I didnt write this my Lord did.If war can be waged for oil,then why wasn't it waged for Him ?

when jesus spoke of my kingdom is no part of this world.he is speaking of his heavenly kingdom that would have an effect on earthly survivors after armegaedon.......not this literal world(daniel2:44)we have to understand that the spirit of this world in these last days(2 timothy 3:1-5)are common.......self-love,anger etc.....but god admonishes us to............endure till the end(matthew 24:13) .....and to suffer evil>>>>>2 timothy 4:5...........when it comes to avenging.........the bible says.........romans 12:17 says>>.Return evil for evil to none........and romans 12:19 says>>>>Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but yield place to the wrath; for it is written: “Vengeance is mine.............we have to follow jesus's example when handling such matthers in 1 peter 2:23 which says:....When he was being reviled, he did not go reviling in return. When he was suffering, he did not go threatening,

Eventually the Christians will have to fight for what they believe in...may not be with arms, but there will be a fight for our beliefs...The non-believers will try and push out of everything, like they are already doing...with the praying in school, taking anything to do with God out of the government places...before too long we wont be able to worship in our own churches...So we will if we arent already be fighting for Him...maybe just not with guns and bombs...

Though I am not that religious, I believe that peace is what God would want. What sort of war do you mean? Killing everyone who disagrees with what's in the Bible, or at least the way you interpret it? Sounds like genocide to me.

Go to war to shove your god down my throat and you will see what war really is. In that war, little old ladies with match books can lay waste to churches that back theocratic dictatorship. So don't even think about it.

I as a Christian would bare arms and fight to protect my faith land and family.
Jesus is the truth, the way and the life!

lol sweetie, it's spelled BEAR arms.. to BARE arms would mean going sleeveless!! lol
And, going by your statement.. it can't be waged for Him because his kingdom is not of this world.. he said it himself.
