  Well i do not have to even continue with this chapter, Scriptures speak clearly that we are not to be for war, or condone war (killing) but to love one another. But being that there are still those who do not understand, i will continue on this particular subject.

  In the Old Testament there were many wars, these wars all took place in the Old Covenant, But After Christ came, there was a New Covenant, which Covenant we are now under, and not under the Covenant of the Old Testament. Therefore in the New Covenant (New Testament) nowhere does it condone war, or approve of it, but on the contrary, the New Testament teaches us to love one another, to forgive everyone, and to love our enemies (not kill them). Now this generation has to find some kind of excuse so that they can seem right in their own eyes, to go to war, therefore they use the very few verses that state we are to obey our government, and that God puts them in charge. However, i will tell you the Truth, We are to do what those in authority tell us to do, We are not to do what that authority says, if it is contrary to the Words of God, i will repeat that again, in bigger letters to emphasize that statement : We are not to do what are government says if it is contrary to the Word of God. If our Government tells us to kill, it is contrary to sound doctrine, matters of fact contrary to EVERYTHING Jesus Christ taught, not to mention contrary to everything the Disciples taught as well. Jesus taught to love our enemies, if then we go over there and kill them, i assure you that is not love.

  Question: Those who we are about to fight and kill if they stand in our way, Does Christ love them? Do they also have an opportunity to accept Christ as their Savior and Lord, so that they may also enter into the Kingdom of Heaven? Well if we kill them, we, of our own doing, have taken that chance away from them, and doomed them to HELL, have we not? i mean, if they are dead, these have no opportunity to accept Christ do they, according to your belief, who then is responsible for their death, and sealing their dreadful fate of Hell? i assure you that Christ loves them to, and that Christ desires them to enter into Heaven also, Do we then go about to kill those who Christ loves, and still continue to call ourselves Christian (Christ-like). Would Christ point a gun at another human and pull the trigger to cause that persons life to cease? or would Christ drop a bomb on them? Christ would not do these things, nor as a Christian should we do these things.

  Tell me, and answer Truly, Did Christ die on the cross for our enemies? Yes you say, but you still think it is OK for you to kill them? Christ died for them, but you think they should die, because they are the enemy. Can a soldier aim his weapon at an enemy and say "I Love You" Then shoot and kill him dead? There are too many people in this world who are more than willing to kill people for this reason or that reason. YOU (as a True Christian) don't have to condone it, or kill with them. True Christians are COMMANDED by Jesus Christ to Love our enemies, NOT kill them.

  Now don't get me wrong, wars are going to happen, it is according to the plans of God, this is by no means a reason Christians should condone such acts, The anti-christ is going to happen also, it is according to the plans of God, this does not mean Christians should condone him either. But woe to those who condone such bloodshed and claim to be Christian (Christ-like) while claiming they have to do what the government says, or teaching that protecting your own is a Godly thing. Altogether changing what Jesus actually said to something else. Jesus said "Love your enemies" Nicolaitans say "It's OK to kill your enemies for the reason of _______"

  Will not the anti-christ kill many for the sake of peace? Are we not doing the same thing by killing them and saying we are ridding the world of terrorists? Are we not killing for the sake of peace? Jesus did not do this or teach this, the Disciples did not do this or teach this, from whence then does this teaching come from? Not of God, i assure you. 



In His Holy and Precious Name, Jesus Christ
