LOL.... 
Sister, you need to see about that 19 year old boy's estrogen and emotions.
btw, it would be an interesting discussion indeed, knowing you.

Ahhhhhhhhhh.. but which one is logic and which one is emotion?
"Patriotism" carries it's own potent tonic of emotions as well...

Maybe your heart does not bleed for the many bereaved loved ones who will go to their graves bearing the burden of their grief from the ultimate sacrifice of love...yes, the love of YOUR freedom. You may not. But, be assured, if no one would have loved you enough to pay the full measure of sacrifice and devotion for you, your life would be much different today.
So, if you think that the Army of the US is not the Lord's army, calling it "man's army," and are not willing to make the same sacrifice for others that has been freely and willingly made for you, I wonder how long it will be before your head and the head of your loved ones are chopped off at the shoulders simply because you are a Christian? Tell me, how long will it take?
I am grieved that you see this the way that you do, but rest assured from someone who knows what he is talking about but Johnny does not go marching off to war to fight against others just because they are from another country.

So your saying that the US Army is God's Army??? So its God's army over there in Iraq fighting what many believe to be an unjust war??? I was under the impression that God's army were those who were filled with His Spirit fighting the good fight of faith bringing souls to Christ...

They are just another Division of God's army. Let's not get carried away here.

He that is not willing to bear the sword to protect home and harth deserves the tyrant that wouild take both away from him. He that will not protect wyfe and offspring from an invading horde by the sword, deserves neither the companion or the offspring of the biological function.
God is not against war. God is ALL FOR WAR when it is just war.

Where does Jesus say this?

Have you never read where God commanded the Israelites to kill every man, woman, and child among their enemies?

Brother Strange said that God is for war when it is "just." Who determines "just"? When are we called to be the jude and executioner? I thought Jesus said He would avenge?
( Romans 12:19) Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

He was talking about personal disputes, not national policy.
