Greetings Terry in the Matchless Name of YahShua !!
 
Your 'Christians and violence' post was the last TT post I read ... been busy ... I think I can pretty well guess the direction of the answers you've been receiving and that my perspective is not the majority view (SURPRISE -- not).
 
I am an ambassador for Messiah as are you in accordance with II Corinthians 5:20 if you are His.  As the old song goes, 'This world is not my home, I'm just passin' through.'
 
The zeal for war amongst Christians is as Rav Shaul/Apostle Paul wrote in Romans 10:2.
 
The Saviour said, "My Kingdom is not of this world:  if My Kingdom were of this world, then would My servants fight" (John 18:36).
 
Ambassadors are representatives of The Kingdom which they represent.  They neither fight nor vote.  Peter drew a sword and The Saviour rebuked him.  "ALL they that take the sword shall perish with the sword."
 
The last possibly just war fought on American soil was that of 1812.  All the rest have been imperialistic and primarily for business reasons.
 
This nation will be judged by The Almighty for its exceeding wickedness ... is being judged now ... more to come.  I look forward to it and the sooner coming return of The King of kings to make it all right.  THEN I will fight!  Until then I pray and represent The Kingdom (Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done, IN EARTH as in heaven).  This nation and its current administration are as far away from heaven as has ever been.
 
Remember 9/11?  (That's a rhetorical question.)
 
Due to 9/11, we travelled out of state to meet with one hungry teenager (previously a fence-sitter).  We had been counselling her by e-mail and phone.  We had never been to this place before.  The Holy Spirit had people literally walking up to us asking us to pray with them, come home with them for counsel, etc.  We ended up ALL DAY LONG in this place teaching people who had never heard of Sabbath and other precious truths, teaching on such things and a hearty message for REPENTANCE!
 
YET, on the way home, ONLY TWO DAYS after the 9/11 event, we passed by 'The Call of The Wild' on the highway.  A VERY LARGE STRIP JOINT with parking lot filled to overflowing.  Mourning?  Day of Prayer the next day?  Ball games cancelled?  STRIP JOINT DOING A BOOMING BUSINESS!  By the way, this strip joint advertised on the local 'Dr. Laura' program.  I faxed her TWICE about it but it continues.  Oh, well.
 
IF AMERICA DOES NOT WAKE UP AND REPENT THEN THERE IS MUCH WORSE COMING!
God Bless America?

THAT'S BACKWARDS ... GET IT RIGHT ...
AMERICA BLESS Yah!
