But Bush said he follows Jesus...then why wouldn't Jesus take up arms and kill Iraqi's?

I don't think Jesus would buy into the "Kill a Muslim for Jesus Crusade".

No, Jesus would not fight alongside of anyone. Jesus had every opportunity to take up arms against the occupying Roman. He said no. When Peter took up the sword, Jesus again said no.
Jesus was quite clear in stating that His kingdom is not of this world.
Answer: Name a side that God is not on.

You better believe that yes he does, I know he is there with them, wet-her they live or die, but he sure is there. Oh yes. Those who don't know him can't tell how powerful he really is. Jesus, God is the same person. If any one is thinking of the Jesus they see on the movies or on the cross then let me say that he is nothing like that. I guess if we see him for who he really is we could die right there and then. He is the king of kings, the most powerful thing one could ever see. God is love, but don't underestimate his fury and strenth. Those soldiers are fighting for peace on us. Believe Jesus is there helping them. The solders who die will be with in heaven for eternity, they are fighting evil. If some of them won't win in the war, they sure will win eternal life next to Jesus. The war is not only in Irak, it's all over the world, and who ever beleif in God, don't have to be afraid because Jesus is fighting for us everyday the war ....

The Lord is the Savior of the world; He does not have time to waste in wars. He is God's one and only Son. Pure, holy, omnipotent; He belongs on His throne, not fighting in a war. He is born from above in the Heavenly lights. The Son of God has a place of high honor on a throne at the right hand of God. Jesus was in this world, but not of it.

Yes, Jesus is fighting the war in Iraq. He died for us, once and shed his blood for all who are willing to receive him. BUT, he would not want us fighting to begin with that is manmade, it is coming from negative entities, in the ethers, around us..they work through people just as good works through people too.Jesus works through people, and the people are the ones fighting, trying to help people from being held in a bondage lifestyle..and to kep terrorists from hurting and killing, and placing people in the worse of all ills, of life styles. God is with them each step of the way and so are all the heavenly and all other entities, in the ethers, and heavens. You know Jesus is not the one who started this war. He is not from this place, "He is from above we are from below" Our ways are not his ways. He does not cause confusion, the negative entities in the ethers are working though people, also. You have positive and negative at work all the time. He did not start this war, keep that thought , it was the negative entities from darkness.Jesus wants all people to be free, and to not be held in bondage, nor abused in anyway. He overturned the tables of the moneychangers who tried buying and selling in the temple, making his temple into the den of thieves, so yes, he could have a temper but for the good of all, not to harm anyone.That is not his purpose his purpose is love. The 2nd coming with the judgement will show the temper though and those who belong to him and have accepted him will be saved and going with him the rest will be following whomever they have taken as their own.It is not his fault, of the outcome really, you yourself know your own children, and those who are not yours, and have another dad or mom need to be with those whom they belong, that is how he will feel. He would not condemn anyone to anything, it is always the persons freedom at work,as he feels he must do, the consequences would be his ,also. No judging, just what happens,is what a person desires.We all have a choice,( Except where people in high places on Earth choose for you) and as far as fighting, I guess people make those calls, but sometimes negativity works through some and sometimes positive works, hopefully through all negativity good will come of it..in the end. we can only pray.

No, he would smite the enemy down and cast them into hell. What a dumb question. If Jesus was the son of God, the Iraq war would never have occured.

I am pretty positive Jesus would be against any act of invasion, if the other side were the invaders, I do feel he would stand firm in defense.

No, but Bush doesn't follow Jesus' teachings very closely...perhaps he thinks executive privilege puts him above it.
