If i was a follower of the teachings of Jesus Christ what would my stand on a war in Iraq be?

Christ is love.

Excellent question. Unfortunately I'm not qualified to make a comment.

The pope is also a follower of the learnings of Jesus Christ. But in the past that never stopped him to go on a crusade. I'm sure Bush also believes in Jesus Christ, what does it matter ?

The pope today is one of the most prominent anti-war figures. Matter of fact, a diverse lot of religion organizations together have condemned invading Iraq.

I have a strong hunch that Christ would be anti-war, just a hunch though.

So i am curious as to how pro-war christians (which i believe to be an oxymoron), reconcile thier faith in Christ (read: Love) with the knowledge of the deaths that are sure to come on both sides.

Does a christian have to reconcile the feelings at all? Is going to war even an issue for a devout christian? I read the article at msnbc that Cerek linked to and it left me with a lot of questions.

If i was a follower of Christ i would ask myself what he would do. What answer i could come up with.. i would follow i believe. But that is if i had faith so to speak.. so i am curious as to how a true Christian would act. Would he/she ask what Christ would do? Would they follow what guidance their prayers had offered them?

This question is a black and white one.. and i know their are not very many black and white answers for it. Still.. some food for thought maybe.. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Faith won't stop Saddam from trying to get his hands on nukes. It'll take a little more than that, like an F/A 18 Hornet.

Power of prayer is a miraculous thing! Faith has saved many lives.
