And as far as trying to cherry pick the bible to put together a half#$% defense for killing is sad.

Jesus said to love our enimies not kill them
Jesus said love one another as I love you he did not only mean to love the ones that only loved us.

Jesus said blessed are the peacemakers, not blessed are the war mongers.
When Jesus said put down your sword he was talking to us.

A true hero

Dale Noyd was a decorated Air Force fighter pilot, who was given a medal for landing a badly damaged, nuclear-armed F-100 Fighter at an English airfield. He also taught at the Air Force Academy. In 1966, after 11 years in the Air Force, he asked that he either be allowed to resign his commission or be classified as a conscientious objector because of his feelings about the Vietnam War.

War will exist until the distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige as the warrior does today.

Nope...One cannot give a Commandment a wide application like that...After all there are 613 Commandments of Yehovaw...And there is one dealing with the Truth...but it is not the one I refferd to above...

As I started to read through this thread I started to sense being surrounded by darkness, when this happens I get a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach, this is what happens to me when I sense evil.
It is the total opposite of that feeling that we get of joy from a positive religious/spiritual experience, it feels like all hope is lost, very dark.

You know during WWII many pastors in Germany counciled soldiers that it was right and justified to fight for the Nazis, and these young men went off to war wrapped in a flag carrying a cross.
Walk by Faith not by Sight...IOW, walk by Truth not by Feeling...Where in the world did you get that last bit of information?...

What would you do if a 9 year od child came running out of a house in Iraq and pointed a 9mm at your chest and unloaded it into your chest?...

Your problem is that you are believing the media that these are innocent people and that they are as pure as the driven snow...these are people that consider those not of Islam to be Infidels and to be erradicated...These are people that did in fact kill innocent people in the attacks of 9/11...For no reason at all...But that they were infidels...

Those that Israel fought against by the Power of Yehovaw were those that sought the destruction of Israel and their way of life...to enslave them...And by killing them prevented that...Otherwise they would have over run Israel...Would it have been more honourable to allow the enemy to live and thereby erradicate the Israelites?...Or by killing the enemy saving Israel?...Is it right to band together and beat the stuffings out of a school-yard bully after attempting to reason with him or just allow him to continue terrorizing the school-yard and just cower in the corner hoping that he does not notice you today and come over and beat you up?...
