Peace!
I don't think so. Jesus Christ preached a gospel of non-violence. "Turn the other cheek," "Those who live by the sword shall perish by the sword," etc. However, if the war is being fought to defend America from terrorists, I think the war would be justified. So, is the war being fought to defend America from terrorists or to protect American business interests in the area?

We are told in the scriptures that our leaders are assigned by GOD. We are to follow our governmental leaders as long as they do not ask us to abandon what the BIBLE has told us to do. Are you a Christian? Are you certain of your eternal place in Heaven?
Study these scriptures and see what you think. To become a Christian:
HEAR - Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
BELIEVE - To the Prison guard in Acts 16:31 Paul and Silas said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household."
REPENT - Acts 17:30 Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent.
CONFESS CHRIST - Matthew 10:32 "Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.
BE BAPTIZED - Mark 16:16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.
CONTINUE TO BE FAITHFUL - Revelation 2:10b Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
Send me a note if you have questions. I am anxious to hear from you. Have a Great day.

Jesus Christ said that his true followers would "learn war no more", so NO, absolutely not. Jesus does not want us to fight with eachother. He taught love and peace.

Maybe, if Jesus Christ was born in this modern world.

No
Why would he support Greed for Power & Control, and most of all Killing or murdering
The 6 commandment states
Older translations of the bible have "Thou shalt not kill", whereas newer versions tend to "You shall not murder".
Love & Blessings

Since the war is between national interests, and his Father intends to destroy all the nations of the Earth, than I would rather doubt it.

No, he distinctly teaches us to be kind to those who persecute us which we are in no way doing by using foreign contractors to reconstruct their war damage. I believe that if we made them do the work, they would have a lot less time to kill each other and a lot fewer reasons.

No. But I am not sure what He would suggest instead at this point. And I am sorry to say that I have been so busy that I have not had time to ask Him.

No way...Jesus was a hippie. He totally didn't believe in destructive forces, or lack of tolerance.
JC is prolly tokin' it up and laughing at the people who went all religo-nuts on this question.
