Anti-war sentiments???

[panterapat]

Being that the worst-case predictions of the war did not come true and the Iraqi people (for the most part) have welcomed the US, has your opinion on the war changed?

 

(This is for anti-war or formerly anti-war people)

No! i feal thet the war was un-nesesery. (sorry about the spelling)

No, my viewpoint on the war has not changed. I am still pro-peace.

 

[Skeptical_1]

I still think war was the answer! Saddam has lost power over his people and they are free from his commaned!

Does God's word change? When it does, I will change my mind on war to match His. But so far as I know, we are still supposed to love our enemies, do good for those who hate us, feed those who seek to kill us and lend to them without expecting repayment.

God's ways are not like man's ways. War is not His first response to His enemies, and it should not be ours, either. He died for His enemies, must you kill yours?

What else can I say?  Lambslove illustrated it perfectly.

/me reminds people of the time when Jesus will come back and fight a very big war......

Pro-peace: I kinda don't like that, because it suggests that I am anti-peace or something like that becvause I supported the war. Not true.

Interesting choice of words.  I always thought that Revalation was very specific in pointing out that Christ will return at the climax of the war not to fight it, but to end it.

Ah.....

Ok, at the end of the tribulation He comes back, and basically subdues the whole world.

At the end of that tiem, however, Satan is released and AGAIN there is a rebellion against Christ - the more familiar term for taht war is "Armageddon"

However, the Bible never claims that Christ will resort to violence to end the war.  I firmly believe that the ways of Christ are not the ways of Man, and that He has a way that does not involve violence.

Ah, it doesn't?

You mean other than the fact that it says that the buzzards will be full.... and a efw other things, that's foremost in my mind though....
