you have used a double negative. Also, you might not believe how many children of God were involved in wars over the years.

You see, we were commanded by Christ Himself to OBEY THOSE that have the rule OVER US.

Whether one is "supporting" or not against something that the government is doing matters not about the requirements and ppassport needed to gain entry into Heaven.

Neither God the Father nor God the Son were opposed to wars being fought.

I am glad that my passport to heaven was not dependent on whether I killed anyone or not in combat.

We were commanded to pray for those in authority over us no matter how bad, crummy, rotten to the core, liars, despicable they may be..

So whether we like Billy Bob Clinton, Dementia Joe, or not, we are commanded to pray for them and ask God to give them wisdom and discernment. It does not mean that they will utilize what God gives them, but it is our job to pray for them and their families. Jesus did not give any exceptions..

So its a little tricky ground.. We don;t have to like something. We do have to be obedient to the authority we are subject to because it is ordained of GOD...

And there were plenty of despots that have been in authority in this world as you know...

So, lets not be too hard on those who have placed themselves under the headship of Christ.

In the eternal matters, there is only one thing that is of absolute importance, and that is: "what have you done with Jesus?" Is HE reigning in your heart and directing your paths or are we usig our human wisdom???

Eternity awaits us all. IF I were killed by a stray rocket I would be in heaven instantly and far better off than here on earth..

So It may be in ones perspective and the way they think on things...

Just a different viewpooint. Not intended to be ugly or bashing you in particular..

my best,
micro..

Just FYI: Dumb "Christians" who support these wars aren't going to be able to con God nor get into heaven by professing a belief in Jesus.

Fair? It would be "fair" for one innocent US citizen to be assassinated for every innocent civilian killed i n a foreign war. And, morally, we would have no grounds for complaint. Of course, that would substantially depopulate the WASP US population....


Pentagon Walks Back Claim It Killed Al-Qaeda Leader In Syria

Authored by Dave DeCamp via AntiWar.com,

US military officials are walking back claims that a drone strike Central Command (CENTCOM) launched on May 3 in northwest Syria killed a senior al-Qaeda leader after evidence emerged that a civilian was killed.

When the strike was first launched in Syria’s northwest Idlib province, reports immediately emerged that the strike killed a sheep herder with no ties to any militant groups. The Associated Press spoke with family members and neighbors of the victim, Lotfi Hassan Misto, who insisted he was innocent.

According to The Washington Post, Misto was a 56-year-old father of 10, and the paper spoke with terrorism experts who said it was unlikely he was affiliated with al-Qaeda.

The operation was overseen by U.S. Central Command, which claimed hours after the strike, without citing evidence or naming a suspect, that the Predator drone strike had targeted a “senior Al Qaeda leader.” But now there is doubt inside the Pentagon about who was killed, two U.S. defense officials told The Washington Post.

“We are no longer confident we killed a senior AQ official,” an unnamed military official told the Post. Another official claimed the person they killed was al-Qaeda but offered no evidence.

“Though we believe the strike did not kill the original target, we believe the person to be al-Qaeda,” the official said.

CENTCOM’s initial press release on the strike did not name the person they killed. Since then, the command has refused to share any details of the operation or say why they could have targeted the wrong person.

The US military is notorious for undercounting civilian casualties or lying about them. The Pentagon is also known for investigating itself and finding no wrongdoing, even in instances of significant civilian deaths, such as the August 2021 Kabul drone strike that killed 10 civilians, including seven children.
