When this short life is over, was it really worth it to spend it on war?

My friend, Sgt. Brian E. Dunlap, Marine Forces Reserve’s 2nd Battalion, 23rd Marine Regiment, 4th Marine Division, got blown up in Iraq over all this war for Israel crap.

The only war we should be fighting is against Israel.

Because it makes them feel like they are 'living' having something worth fighting for. They don't know God nor have any 'bible' in their heart or a twisted version in some cases where they have everything all screwed up in the head then take it as gospel truth without actually cracking open their own bible. Many churches don't let you read the bible and have the Priest do it.

We don't go to those kind. Smaller community churches are where the heart and soul is and your more likely to form some kind of connection even if you disagree on some stuff.

Those are people who are mixed up and they still don't have God in their hearts.

Oh and those people WON'T be allowed to step foot into heaven either so no free ride for the 'war mongers' I'm afraid. They already received their 'reward' and have quite a different place waiting for them.

The bible is very clear that many will do things in 'God's name' as the people you mentioned but they won't be authenticated because they are doing what their 'leaders' tell them and confuse it with God. God doesn't order that shit to happen but people do and demons often can be an 'Angel of light' to get people to do bad stuff with the 'Just a little bit' stuff and before you can say 'Bob's your uncle' your neck deep into sin.

Our pastor just had a sermon based on what you just said about people confusing God and causing wars and strife. It was a 4 part Sermon to make them shorter but it got into the details pretty good and covered a lot of points and fallacies people go for. It's called 'Matters Of The Heart' or something like that. The Pharisees is what your referring too actually as those people actually DID those things.

I agree, these wars do not seem remotely consistent with religious teachings, but people have certainly managed to convince others that it is throughout history. Calls to kill wicked heathens and theological justification have been fairly successful in theocracies

I think you'll find your antiwar stance is a completely modern concern which which didn't really appear until after WW1. The Bible is definitely not antiwar.

Good points. I agree with you. My experience has been that the bigger the church, the more corrupt it is. The smaller the gathering, the better. As Jesus said: Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them. He said two or three. That's a small group. And that is all that is needed. Where there is a minimum of two people with living faith in his name, there is Jesus! He promises to be there in spirit. So, no one needs to go to any man-made church, but we do need to have fellowship with other believers and that can be any place, any time.

Smaller churches seem to be more willing to talk to you personally and you can get your worries or questions out better. Many smaller churches actually let you use their place as a mailing address if your homeless so you can try to secure a job and stay clean.

those who start a war are psychopaths, who probably think they are immortal or else their greed is limitless

“There never was a good war or a bad peace.”

The rulers of this dying world work for the prince of this world. These people have manipulated people since the time man was exiled to earth. They have falsified history and science and few people know the truth.

They are very skilled at getting people to die for their causes. We have seen how they manipulated the masses since 2020. They’re normally not so sloppy that people can easily notice. We must be in the end game, where some reject this world and some choose slavery to keep their toys.

I agree with your points. I would add something about man being exiled to earth....

The spirits that rejected God, followed Lucifer, and fell to earth. God, in his infinite love, gave those spirits an opportunity to be free from their wretched state. How he did this was to take away our memories and cause us to be born here, with a fresh start, able to again make a choice of free will, with the choice being: God or his adversary yet again. Those that choose the adversary will remain slaves to keep their toys, as you call them: their physical pleasures. Those that recognize God in the man Jesus and choose Him, become free for eternity, never to be in bondage to the adversary again. And in the Lord's presence is fullness of joy and at his right hand there are pleasures for evermore, so we do not need the adversary's junk. If we have the Lord, we have everything.
