War part of God?

[Foreshadow]

If God created man and their brain wouldn't that mean that he created the ideas of War and peace?

yes. man has always had a choice between good and evil, just like in the garden. unfortunately, man chooses war instead of peace, just like he chose the fruit over obedience.

But God created the garden so wouldnt that mean that he wanted the man and the women to choose the fruit over obedience?

Generally speaking War is a product of free will. In the Old testament War is also a tool used by God to destroy the wicked. The act of war in of itself is a neutral activity neither right or wrong.. It's the reasons men fight wars that determines their morality.

This is my last post for tonight. Good night everyone.
But if God was the Sumpreme Creator wouldnt this mean that he created the reasons of men and the thoughts that men think to create war?

Without the "fruit" their wouldn't be a real choice.. God wants us to choose Him, but without any other options what would their be to choose from? So in "sin" you either choose the expressed will of God or you do not which what is sin..

God said that man could eat of "any" fruit in the garden, except for one. so man could eat fruit, there was just one that God wanted man to stay away from.

God created the ability for man to think on these things. However, He's not responsible for when man acts on those thoughts.

God's view on war
=============

David was not allowed to build the temple (the place that represented God) because he had shed too much blood in the earth:

1Ch 22:8 But this word of the LORD came to me: 'You have shed much blood and have fought many wars. You are not to build a house for my Name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in my sight.

Jesus said:

Mat 5:44-45 But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

If we want to represent God (be his image) then war is something we are not to delight in.
