OK !
Wait just a minute. Ron loves war and is glad we are in Afghanistan and Iraq, aren't you Ron?
Peace,

Not sure how you came to that conclusion.
He's trolling you, Ron - pushing a button getting you personally offended so you will react. That's "jimbrown" 's modus operandi. If you were a soldier, he'd call you GI Joe and challenge your guts. If you were a librarian, he'd call you a bookish nerd. Et cetera, et cetera. He doesn't care about the issue. He just wants to tweak people, to get them to sputter something back. And then he'll just keep repeating the same thing over and over again, to see how many "replies" he can generate.
Eventually, he'll either be ignored into irrelevance, or get himself banned, like others before him.

Thanks for the tip. I appreciate that gesture.
Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

Not sure how you came to that conclusion. No, I do not love war. I believe war is a necessary condition of a fallen world. Some individuals, I am referring strictly to Americans here, have a military spirit and they voluntarily choose that way of life. Once inducted into military service they must serve where they are ordered.
The entire military system is based on a philosophy of hierarchy of orders. The more rank you earn the less orders you have to follow and the more you get to issue.
I support the military and its veterans. I have dedicated my life to their service. I hope that clarifies my position for you.
As you hold yourself out as a follower of Master Jesus the Christ I don't see how you could consider war a "necessary condition".
The Master loved all and woukd never have even a thought of lobbing a bomb over there !!!
Please explain how any true Christian could believe that it is necessary to kill or maim his brother humans.
I don't see Christ in war.
"Necessary"?
Why?

I don't plan to argue this one to death (I hope), no pun intended, because I am at peace with this, am a veteran, and have seen war. However, this is interesting by Dr. John MacArthur which articulates the justification of war from a Christian perspective:

I don't know.
Maybe you would rather follow the teachings of John Mac Arthur instead of following the teachings of the Master Jesus, the Christ.
Perhaps your participation in that wrong has you scrambling to justify your actions.
Here is a simple fact,jaybird 18c, the Master taught that forgiveness comes from ones self.
Forgive yourself!
You participated in this atrocity that we call war!
I'm sorry you found yourself in that situation.
Forgive yourself and vow to yourself that you will sin no more.
Peace be with you ,jaybird 18c

The Gospel according to Mathew:
5:7 Blessed be the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy
5:9 Blessed be the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
5:44 Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.
5:46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have you?
Pretty much the antithesis of any justification of war based on the teaching of Jesus.
Hey Jim, have you ever read the book The Kingdom of God is Within You, by Leo Tolstoy? I highly recommend it, and think you would enjoy it! It was a major influence on Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr.

Thanks for the recommendation. I won't be needing to read that book written by a man as I have a direct line to God.

Not sure how you came to that conclusion.
He's trolling you, Ron - pushing a button getting you personally offended so you will react. That's "jimbrown" 's modus operandi. If you were a soldier, he'd call you GI Joe and challenge your guts. If you were a librarian, he'd call you a bookish nerd. Et cetera, et cetera. He doesn't care about the issue. He just wants to tweak people, to get them to sputter something back. And then he'll just keep repeating the same thing over and over again, to see how many "replies" he can generate.
Eventually, he'll either be ignored into irrelevance, or get himself banned, like others before him.
You have it all figured out don't you ,Andy?
You know so much !!!
Someday I hope we will all be as smart as you!
