You quote John 18:36

36 Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place.”

Where was His Kingdom then. Could it be in heaven?

Hit wrong button.

But I meant to say I am an armchair soldier, so who knows what I would do? I think there are armchair pacifists, too.

I thought you believed the Father's Kingdom was in heaven; then, how
is Jesus' kingdom in heaven.

I am sure Jesus meant for us not to kill without a cause. That would
be not to murder someone. We have laws in our government against
murder anyway. Therefore, we only need to follow the laws in our
government to obey Jesus.

Hmmmm... Is this true for the Christians of all countries, over history?

Without cause? Wouldn't his apostles have just cause when they wanted to protect Jesus himself from being taken? Did not Jesus tell them to side their swords and not fight?
You have no idea what Jesus meant and you have no right to say you do....

By the way, what does this have to do with the Holy Spirit? Just curious.
sooo dropping two huge atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and
Nagasaki killing civilians was morally justifiable from your stance, After all it was a
demonstration of your willingness and ability to defeat your enemy? what about
Napalm bombs, were they also morally justifiable? It has nothing to do with the Holy
Spirit, unless of course you wish that I prove such contemptible and fiendish acts to be
opposed to its operation.

Dropping those bombs ended the war much quicker and actually prevented more
deaths, on both sides of the war, by forcing the Japanese leaders to surrender.
The Japanese people are much better off for it. And it is a shame the USA sacrificed so many lives liberating the Iraqi people and spent so much of our citizens tax money to rebuild Iraq and we are not getting any appreciation
or repayment for it. President Bush was forced, by the liberal media and the
democrates, to refuse asking for any oil, so that he and the USA would not
be accused of invading Iraq for the oil which we needed. And in Vietnam
we fought to stop the rapid spread of communism which threated the freedom
of the entire world. Bad things happen in wars; but freedom is worth fighting for
even if it is not our own. We look forward to that day when all men know
the truth and there will be no need for wars to protect our freedoms.

He has left us a communication, the most widely distributed, widely translated book in
the entire history of humanity, and here we are playing the flute and you refusing to
dance!
I would guess you are a young guy by your comment. But it seems
like you would have learned something from your history teachers
about how important it it was for the USA to enter World War II to
help save Europe from Hitler and the Nazis. If the Japanese had
not attacked the USA when they did we may not have entered that
war. I wonder what would of happened to England, France, and the
other democratic countries in Europe then.

I am well aware of WWII history thanks. I'm a lot younger than you also, but what that has to do with anything i'm not sure.

I found this statement rather curious regarding the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki -

The Japanese people are much better off for it.


Are you implying that the Japanese should say thank you?

Could you point out where Jesus said it was acceptable to indiscriminately kill innocent civilains?
