I know. It's hilarious that most christians don't even practice what their own religion preaches. If they were to make America a christian nation, they would have to completely change their personal beliefs and actions.

While I'm not a follower of Jesus, I don't see the contradiction. When did Jesus every preach that a nation should subjugate itself to evil?
Still, if you've got a problem this war, you must also have a problem with Lincoln, Washington, Roosevelt, Truman and almost every other president the nation's ever had because all of these men were forced to defend their nation and their people.
Bottom line, Jesus wasn't a big supporter of tyranny, oppression and slavery. I suggest you keep reading.

Remember though who is in complete control and allows the wars to happen.......... and also remember the times were in , the war to end all wars Armagedon is close, Isreal represents the fig tree in the bible , and its a metaphor I think to baring its leaves, and the prophecy has been fullfilled, after 1948 , along with many other revelations........so things are happening for a bigger reason in the future.....none of these wars are accidents......
War sucks but this world we are in is Hell, and it will be insanity once russsia, China , and the usa get involved together........This war right now is horrible but the bloodshed is miniscule to what God has planned for the end of time...... crappy facts to face but the truth,

Would we have our religious freedom and right to follow Jesus if our ancesters did not fight and sacrafice their lives so we could have our freedom? And you call yourself a follower of Jesus to be against war in general? Your question only has truth depending what war you are talking about but all you metioned is war. Otherwise you are completely out of your mind!

Can Christians bypass to conflict? conflict is an extremely serious factor, however the previous testomony makes it clean that there is a time for conflict. The puzzling factor to be attentive to is while to combat. Paul admonishes that as plenty relies upon on us, we ought to constantly stay peaceably with others. we are additionally to no longer carry grudges or retaliate while attacked. yet there's a time while evil ought to be intervened against. interior an identical way a police officer is justified in taking photos an armed assassin, a Christian could have a burden placed on them to take the life of somebody who's a probability to others. i in my view experience that i could've had to have been a conscientious objector in many u.s.'s wars. Vietnam, Gulf wars a million,2, Korea, WWI, by way of fact the line of precise and incorrect is blurred by making use of the two facets. it relatively is obvious that even the Civil conflict grew to become into no longer a conflict the place God grew to become into supporting the righteous reason. The north grew to become into divided approximately slavery and grew to become into common detached to the reason for abolition, and that they reaped the outcomes. yet while a conflict is fought fullyyt to intrude against an obvious evil, without ulterior motives, then there's no longer something incorrect with a Christian being in touch. There actually are people who could experience in a diverse way approximately their very very own means to take part in a conflict. some people ought to in no way be a police officer by way of an identical reason. yet i'm speaking of myself and what i've got self belief could ought to be the standards before violence grew to grow to be the superb action.

Nominated for the dumbest question of the day... many participating in the Revolutionary War followed Jesus, many who died in Pearl Harbor followed Jesus. Where is it exactly that Jesus says you can't go to war? Don't try to reconcile something you clearly don't understand. It's obvious you don't follow Jesus and know nothing about Him, so don't tell people who do what they should or should not support you naive little twit.

Lincoln did. FDR did.
Neither is presently thought to have been insane.
Jesus allowed Himself to be tortured, humiliated and crucified rather than raise His hand up in self-defense.
Few humans have ever met that test.

Some of us are praying for peace. And currently, that is what our soldiers are there for: to bring peace and order to a turbulent region. Our war has ended; it is now a peace-keeping mission. The insurgent thugs are the ones engaged in violence with innocent Iraqis. We are there to protect the innocent.

Jesus did say there will always be wars and rumors of wars.
I wish those who ask religious questions in politics would read the Bible before they put it down.
If you do not believe keep it to yourself.i believe and you do not see me asking silly questions do you???

Followers of Jesus know that He said to live peaceably as much as possible. This implies times that peace is not possible.
Governments are supposed to fight evil, not appease it.
