'Blessed are the Peace Makers', does the 'Christian' President understand this?

Question

Or like everything else about the Religious Right, just hypocritical mumbo jumbo?

Answer 1

No I don't think he does. I wish, however, you wouldn't lump him with those of us who are not afraid to speak out when our freedom of religion is challenged.

Answer 2

Another passage often overlooked by the pseudoChristian Right:

Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. For,
"Whoever would love life
and see good days
must keep his tongue from evil
and his lips from deceitful speech.
He must turn from evil and do good;
he must seek peace and pursue it." (1 Peter 3:8-11)

There are many on the right who seem to be stuck on the "eye for an eye" Old Testament, forgetting the "turn the other cheek" New Testament.

Answer 3

Some of us aren't fooled by his hypocrisy or the Religious Right's. When I look at mainstream Christians and their relationship with the neocons it looks alot like the relationship between Rome and the religious pharisees of Jesus' day. People like them have always perverted the scriptures and persecuted those who refused to conform.

James 4
Pride Promotes Strife
1 Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members? 2 You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet[a] you do not have because you do not ask. 3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.

Answer 4

Yes, everything about the religious "right" is mumbo jumbo. For absolute sure.
AND ~ No, our "christian" president does not understand anything about the philosophies which he claims to cling to so tightly.
He is a liar and a puppet.

Answer 5

Humanist, Democrats are religious too. All the presidents of the United States claimed they were apart of some branch of Christianity. I really can't say what determines someone to be a Christian or not. But I will say this, most president didn't live holy lives.

Answer 6

First, let me say that I am opposed to this war, but not for religious reasons. I just don't think it was a necessary move.

Second, I suggest you do a Biblical word study of peace. I have done this and you will find the Biblical peace is not the absence of conflict. Therefore you are completely taking the scripture out of context.

Answer 7

Cowboy's prefer the Colt peacemaker" fer making them evil doers bite the dust "

Answer 8

Peace is not defined as the lack of opposition to evil. Peace is only ever achieved when the perpetrators of evil are neutralized. They must be killed, imprisoned or have the means to wage war taken from them. That, my good sir, is what peace making is all about.

Answer 9

The war is for oil. Oil is decreasing in America. Bush decided to get some free. He started the war. There is no point in ending it now. If the troops leave Iraq will attack US! If u had people in Ur country from a completely different other one, bossing u around and then they leave, would u attack them? So even if the troops leave, the war will still go on , but this time in AMERICA!!!!!!!!!

Answer 10
