US Christians who support American war & violence in the Mid East, what are your scriptural justifications?

Answer 1

I don't support the war, but here is a possible scriptural justification:

" If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act [worshiping false gods] has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock. Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it. Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the Lord your God. That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt. Keep none of the plunder that has been set apart for destruction. Then the Lord will turn from his fierce anger and be merciful to you. He will have compassion on you and make you a great nation... Deuteronomy 13:13-18 NLT

Answer 2

Jesus's story of the good Samaritan suggests we shouldn't just sit and do nothing while genocides are occurring. I don't believe in war & violence, but preventing others from committing those acts may require violent action. Jesus's disciples carried swords, so there must have been a reason for them to. Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait and hung bodies from telephone poles in the city centers as a warming to anyone who objects to his brutal rule. He also killed at least 300,000 of his own people and buried them in mass graves. If getting out of Iraq results in a genocide, then we should stay in Iraq.

Answer 3

in accordance with that? No. All issues will come to bypass precisely because it is been foretold in the scriptures. no longer till now, and not later, yet ideal while it is going to. At this present day time, thinking the prophecies, we are able to tell the assumption components are being introduced jointly for all to come back to bypass.on the grounds that 1948, while Israel grew to develop right into a rustic with geographic obstacles lower back in accordance to the prophecies, human beings have been very speedy to point issues out and say it rather is this, and that's that...there are different prophecies that could desire to and are being fulfilled. we can not comprehend the day or hour, yet we are able to tell the season.

Answer 4

As a Christian American, I have to ask myself "What would King David do." The Bible says He was a man after God's own heart. Here's what King David once said, "Who is this uncircumcised Philistine who challenges the God of Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob."
Then he chopped off their heads. - and God was pleased. Does that answer your question ?

Answer 5

The war is about oil , not religon or Weapons of mass destruction , ( wich were never found ) ,., Not Iraq freedom ! There is nothing in the Bible that condones this War for OIL

Answer 6

From the Book of Bush as written by Pat Robertson, James Dobson, Jerry Falwell and other prophets of GOP.

Answer 7

well you know what I think that violence and war is not cool. even though that I am a Christian I do support the war because we are fighting for our future rights and other people in other countries rights.

I dont know if there are any scriputural justifications

Answer 8

No one wants violence in the middle east but Americans want to protect America. The Bible is for the death penalty. Why shouldn't we send the Islamofacists to Allah before they cut our throats?

Answer 9

they don't have any. most are against war and killing. it more of a fear thing, that we should go over there and kill them so they can't come over here (this is largely counter-productive but it keeps bush in power)

@Jack Bauer
there is a difference between protecting your country and invading a random third country. and how dose killing innocents in Iraq help at all with removing "Islamiofascists" if anything it will make more.

Answer 10

Matthew 10:34

"I come not to send peace, but a sword"
