James 4 : 1 " From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
Do you think Jesus supports the war in Iraq? I don't!!

Margulise, you do realize that disobedient unbelieving jews have been cut out of that tree don't you? God cut them out and you are trying to graft them in again even though they are still anti-christ and would crucify Jesus today if he walked into Israel claiming to be their messiah. shame on you dear!!

Rabs, do you realize that you had to go to the old covenant to find justification for the war? Is that the covenant you made with God?

tuberoot, there's a big difference between being thankful for the opportunity to see prophecy fulfilled and actually supporting the actions of the evil men who are fulfilling it. Will you support the anti-christ because it is fulfillment of prophecy?

no and no

I haven't made up my mind yet. I know, the war's been going on for almost five years, BELIEVE ME, I know, I'm an Army wife.
I believe that sometimes war is justified; for example, World War Two. As I said, I haven't made up my mind on this one. All most people know is what the news media tells them, and with the sensationalist reporting, not to mention inaccuracies, I don't think the news media is a reliable source. I prefer to talk to the soldiers, and find out what the Iraqis are saying.
As far as the opinions I've gathered, it's about 60/40. Forty percent say we're wasting our time and resources, sixty percent say we're making progress, and the American people need to shut up and let them do their jobs.
Because it's nearly an even split, I haven't made up my mind yet. I just support the soldiers.
As far as whether or not this is supported by scripture, I believe that wars, if justified, ARE supported by Jesus. He opposed fighting when there was no need for it. Was there need for this war? I don't know. Time will tell.

I support our troops wherever they are sent. I just don't get this "War on Terror." I don't understand why this man, Saddam Hussein, was hanged by the neck. Most of all, I don't get why we are still in the war over there. I hope that very soon, America wakes up and stops this damn war. Remember this, What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? - Romans 8:31. The Lord daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah. - Psalm 68:19. Peace, Love and God Bless.

The fact that there has not been a day without war on the earth in 2000 years kinda shows that the messianic era has yet to begin, and that Jesus, if he existed, was never the Messiah.

Yes. Maybe.
I think that we are there ( the US) because we are setting things up for the end. I cannot specifically point to a verse that says, "You shall bring an army to Iraq and kill the stupid Muslims who flock there to be killed", but I can see the effort is making things a certain way.
One of those MAY be that Assyria will come to power again, it might not, but the Assyrians are there and they are still prophesied in the Bible in an unfulfilled way. There is an Assyrian Christian population there. And Egypt is in that prophesy as well.
So you believe what you want to, I am thrilled that since I live, I can watch this part of God's word fulfilled.

As a follower of Christ I support NO war at all.
Christianity however voted for the man that is single handed most responsible for what's happened, all out of a thirst for vengeance.
What will they package for Americans to pay for next time? How far will this government and the religion that supports it go to project power?
Will the Us become THE controlling power on earth? Could what we all fear come in the name of Christianity?

I don't believe removing the evil and cruel dictator Saddam Hussein from power was a bad thing. However, I suspect the intentions for a US military presence staying active in Iraq are not pure. My suspicions, like many other's, are based on invasion for a reason that has proved to be false and continued warfare based on another false reason as none of the conspirators of the 9/11 attacks were or are in Iraq.
My greatest fears are of a Zionist conspiracy to reclaim the land from the Muslims where Soloman's temple stood so it could be rebuilt. In my heart I cannot believe that God would approve of so much killing and death for this reason. God has the entire Earth, the Sun and the universe as His creations so I can not imagine that he would be concerned for a tiny piece of land, especially if it is to be obtained through violence so as to represent Him. God commanded us to worship Him, not any man made icon or temple.
Peace,
AAD

No.
No.
From what I remember, there was something in the bible about turning the other cheek.
And no, the terrorists would hate it if we left Iraq. Their entire game plan involves getting America bogged down in a prolonged guerilla struggle in a muslim country. We dofged that bullet in Afganistan and then jumped right into it with a pointless invasion of iraq.

this group did it.
The Land Letter was a letter sent to President George W. Bush by five evangelical Christian leaders on October 3, 2002 which outlined their theological support for a just war pre-emptive invasion of Iraq. The letter was written by Richard D. Land, president of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention. It was co-signed by Chuck Colson, founder of Prison Fellowship Ministries, Bill Bright, chairman of Campus Crusade for Christ, James Kennedy, president of Coral Ridge Ministries, and Carl D. Herbster, president of the American Association of Christian Schools.

If anyone thinks that the war in iraq is justified then they are f*cking c*nts. The U.S soldiers there or whoever sent them there are Criminals of War, and they have killed about a million Iraqis until now. f*ck off and leave iraq and go find your real criminals that are behind sept 11 because Iraq had nothing to do with it.

Support wars? Not Likely.
“He [ God] is making wars to cease to the extremity of the earth. The bow he breaks apart and does cut the spear in pieces; the [war] wagons he burns in the fire.” Then the people “will actually sit, each one under his vine and under his fig tree, and there will be no one making them tremble.”—Micah 4:4.
