    That great country - AMERICA

    Founded on many Christian ideals, however I wouldn't label any country as Christian.

    Which flag do you pledge your allegience to?

    You asked: "What am I suppose to be respecting here?" I will tell you what to respect: You should respect it, because It is your right to disagree with Americas policies because of it. It's these ideals which were forged by men and women who stood and stand guard against people who would like...

    Which flag do you pledge your allegience to?

    YosefHayim, I do agree that we should never blindly obey as some such as the Nazis did. However, as you mentioned above about what Jesus told Pilate about having no authority other than what God gave him, God does give government certain authority to enforce that you must obey or suffer the...

    Don't be upset with eachother

    Angel what you said is straight from Christs teaching from The Sermon On The Mount. I have been known to have a hot temper at times, but I always must remember it is better to return an insult with love or care or just to not insult them back and maybe explain your position in a respectful...

    Which flag do you pledge your allegience to?

    There is no flag of God to my knowledge, only man made ones. However, I don't think being patriotic to your country is wrong either, if anything it is encouraged as it is written in Romans 13:7: "Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if...

    Should a Christian go to war?

    You were trained and paid to defend the United States, and obey orders of those appointed above you. Gary already posted the Oath of Enlistment, thats spells it out plain and simple.

    Should a Christian go to war?

    Lewis, Listen I'm not quite reading you. Your signature says "Destroy ISIS" while you continue to insult Jason, calling him a mercenary. So what is your stance do you support the military or not? As Eugene stated above if you pay taxes you are hiring those soldiers or so called (hitmen) you talk...

    Should a Christian go to war?

    Edward I liked how talked about exigent circumstances. Having faith and trusting in God is obviously good, however, I think your getting at what I'm about to say. Classik says to wait until the moment, but like another person stated in a post you may only have two seconds to make a decision. I...

    Willie,I agree and I second this. Ive ask a similar question more than once. read below.....

    Should a Christian go to war?

    I believe God has given us a mind for a reason. In simplicity humans have a fight or flight reaction to to danger. We can choose to fight to or we can try and flee. As the Bible says there is a time for peace and a time for war. Again I question the pacifists: If someone is attacking a loved...

    Should a Christian go to war?

    I have continuously quoted scripture and affirmed this, read my previous posts. Acts 10:1 1 "At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was known as the Italian Regiment. 2 He and all his family were devout and God-fearing; he gave generously to those in need and prayed...

    Should a Christian go to war?

    That thought is madness and straight from satan. If life is so precious why would God not want us to defend it against such wickedness? Remember also a man has a Godly duty to protect his wife and family, if he doesnt he is wrong and in sin. It is written in 1 Timothy 5:8: 8 Anyone who does not...

    Should a Christian go to war?

    The answer is yes a Christian has the right to serve in the military and go to war. I have covered this in previous posts. Paul covered this through the Lord in Romans when he stated governments have do not bear the sword for no reason. Remember there is a time and place for ALL things...

    Should a Christian go to war?

    I never feed into the Christian vs Muslim thing. I love my enemy, but it doesn't mean I have to be a doormat. When Jesus ran the people away who were disgracing God's temple was he being a doormat? He again will return and raise an army and not become a doormat to be walked upon. People who...

    Should a Christian go to war?

    Well Willie, I am quite disgusted with the stones throwers who say that Christians have no place in government especially the military. These same people slept soundly in their beds because of such Christians who payed the ultimate sacrifice on the battlefield and on our troubled streets...

    Should a Christian go to war?

    It's very easy to sit and ponder how one must refrain from fighting and that peace is the only answer. War is horrible, but sometimes we must fight. The way I see it there are thee kinds of people sheep, sheepdogs and wolves, The Lord is our shepherd. Sheep are relatively peaceful and harmless...

    Should a Christian go to war?

    I would like to speak about this a little further. The idea of Christians and war is debated. Yes we are taught to turn the other cheek but I do not believe Christ was inferring to be completely a pacifist as some would believe. Jesus is God and if you read the Bible you find out that God is...
