Christians, War,
and Revelation
How can Christians justify
participating in judgment and condemnation by creating and
condoning war under
the guise of God? Christianity's history is riddled with
blood shed in the name of Christ, God and Truth. If this is
not judgment, then what is? Still today many Christians turn
out in droves to support war. In the 2004 election,
President Bush won 79% of the 26,000 million Evangelical
votes, which won him re-election.

"There is a generation who seem to themselves to be
free from sin, but are not washed from their unclean
ways. There is a generation, O how full of pride are
their eyes! O how their brows are lifted up! There is a
generation whose teeth are like swords, their strong
teeth like knives, for the destruction of the poor from
the earth, and of those who are in need from among men."
-Proverbs 30:12-14 |

Who are Christians to
JUDGE and make decisions that are ANTI (against) the
GREAT COMMANDMENT, as taught by their very founder, whose
name they tout? When did Jesus say it was ok NOT to follow
and teach this law?
|
"...Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?
And Jesus said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with
all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.
This is the great commandment. And the second is like it
(Greek 'Like'
translates here as 'the same
as it').
You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
On these two commandments all the Law and the prophets hang."
-Jesus, Mt 22:36-40
|
Christians are definitely
hanging themselves on this one when supporting war.
|
"The one saying to be in the light, yet
hating his brother, is in the darkness until now. The one loving
his brother rests in the light, and no offense is in him. But
the one hating his brother is in the darkness, and walks in
the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the
darkness blinded his eyes."
-Jesus, 1 John 2:9
Any behavior besides
loving your brother is
ANTI-CHRIST... against his instruction... and false prophecy.
|
In the beginning of Revelation, Jesus spends much time
warning THE CHURCHES to REPENT
(Greek - Repent - to think differently, reconsider).
Who's to say that what follows is not a
direct result of the churches not heeding what
He said to do... and then receiving their warned and just retribution? If you read the
letters to the churches in Revelation, know that 'ANGEL' in Greek
simply translates as "MESSENGER". Who else is
Christ's messenger if not Christianity?
|
"The
one having an ear, HEAR (heed) what the Spirit says to
the churches":
-Jesus, Rev. 2:7
"...and you tried those pretending to be apostles, and are
not, and found them to be liars... But I have against you that
you left your first love. Then remember from where you have
fallen, and repent and do the first works." -Jesus, Rev 2:2-5 (get back to trying those
pretending to be apostles, and remove them from
the church, as in the beginning.)
"But I have a few things against you, that you have there
those holding the teachings of Balaam
(teaching other than what Christ commanded), who taught
Balak to
throw a stumbling-block before the sons of Israel (God's people as a whole),
to eat
idol sacrifices, and to commit fornication."
-Jesus, Rev 2:14 (Greek 2403- Fornication translates to:
practice idolatry.)
"...you allow the woman Jezebel to teach (Jezebel
here is Greek 2403,
Fornication-
practice idolatry), she saying herself to be a
prophetess (Is the Church not a prophetess, Christ's Bride,
speaking
for Him?), and to cause My slaves to go astray, and to commit
fornication (idolatry), and to eat idol sacrifices... And I will kill her children with death; and
all the churches will know I am the One
searching the inner parts and hearts..."
-Jesus, Rev 2:20-23
"...I am about to vomit you out of My mouth (Greek 4750 'mouth' is
the same meaning
for mouth as used in all of Revelation, and translates by
implication to: language - "using My words"),
because you say I am made rich, and have need of nothing, and
do not know that you are wretched, and miserable and poor and
BLIND and NAKED."
-Jesus, Rev 3:16
"Come, I will show you the judgment of
the great harlot (Greek 4204 - an idolater, from 4205 - a
debauchee (libertine):-fornicator) sitting (Greek 2531 'sitting' -residing)
on the many waters (Christianity resides on all
continents) with whom the kings (rulers) of the earth
committed fornication..." (again Greek 2403- 'fornication' here
means
practicing idolatry)
-Jesus, Rev. 17:1-2
|
Christianity has
been the power behind Kings throughout history, and church
and state have been intertwined from early Christianity until
now. Is President Bush not the King of America, and does
he not hide behind Christianity as his cause to fight his
so-called JUST war?
Again, I point out that in the 2004 election, President Bush won
79% of the 26,000 million Evangelical votes, which was enough
to win him re-election and continue his war mongering
in the name of God.

"and the ones inhabiting the earth became
drunk from the wine of HER fornication (idolatry
- we are drunk on it for sure! MONEY, OIL, SELF IMAGE BEFORE GOD)...
And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, filled with
names of blasphemy (Greek 988 - evil speaking -
from root of 984 - to hinder)... And the woman was
clothed in purple and scarlet and being gilded with gold and
precious stone and pearls (same colors and extravagant wealth of the Catholic
Church and Christianity - purple and scarlet are also the colors that
symbolize being lead by desires and lusts) having a golden cup in her hand filled
with abominations (Greek 946 means
idolatry) and unclean things of her fornication
(idolatry)" ... her name...
THE
MOTHER OF the HARLOTS and of the abominations of the earth." -Rev 17:3-5 |
Is the Church not a woman, Christ's
Bride? Would she not be a Harlot if she cheated on her
Husband (Christ) by
practicing idolatry
or going against His teaching in any way, following after
another way of being or
idea? The Catholic church claims to be the authority on
Christ's teachings, yet prays to Saints, Mary, and says priests
can absolve sins, etc... These are not the teachings of
Christ! Please understand I am not bashing Catholicism or Christianity
here, just making a point... In truth,
WE ARE ALL GUILTY OF IDOLATRY!
Purple
and scarlet are colors that symbolize our desires and lusts,
and we are all guilty of the pursuit of our own self images.
The Catholic Church is
the MOTHER
of Christianity (THE
MOTHER OF the HARLOTS), whose various sects broke away from HER rule to pursue their
own doctrines and interpretations. Again I point out, the word CHRISTIANITY even contains
the anagram ANTICHRIST! Anyone is ANTI (against) CHRIST that
does not fulfill the royal law, period, regardless if keeping
all other laws! The world as a whole is in a state of
ANTI-CHRIST, and really always has been.

"The disciples said to Jesus, "We know
you will go away from us. Who will be our leader?"
Jesus said, "Wherever you are
(no matter what situation you
find yourself in),
go to
(refer
to/be like)
James the Just; heaven and earth came into being for him."
-Jesus, The Gospel of Thomas |
James says,
|
"If you truly fulfill the royal law according to the
Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you do
well. But if you have partiality to persons, you work sin,
having been found guilty as transgressors by the law.
For
whoever shall keep ALL THE LAW, BUT STUMBLES IN ONE, HE HAS
BECOME GUILTY OF ALL. For He who said, "You shall not commit adultery, (idolatry)" also said, "You shall not murder." But if you do
not commit adultery, but commit murder, you have become a
transgressor of the law. So speak and so do as being
about to be judged by the LAW OF LIBERTY. For judgment
will be without mercy to the one not doing mercy. And
mercy rejoices over judgment." -James
2:8-13 |
Christians are not promoting
mercy or love,
when supporting and praising war as just, saying it's ok to
take life in the name of God or Christ or freedom (this is judgment,
plain and simple)... Do not be fooled into such complacency.
What happened to turn the other cheek?
James also says,
|
"For the wrath of man does not work out
the righteousness of God..."
-James 1:20
"From where do wars and fighting among
you come? Is it not from this, from your lusts warring in your
members? You desire and do not have. You murder, and are
jealous, and are not able to obtain. You fight and you war,
and you do not have because you do not ask God. You ask, and
do not receive, because you ask wrongly, in order that you may
spend on your lusts. Adulterers and Adulteresses (idolaters)! Do you not
know that friendship of the world is
enmity (hatred) with
God? Whoever then, purposes to
be a friend of the world is shown to be an enemy of God."
-James 4:1-4 |
Please catch here that
James is calling those who lust after their own desires
Adulterers and
Adulteresses; marital betrayal
has nothing to do with it.
"become doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving
yourselves..."
-James 1:20
"If anyone thinks to be religious among
you, yet not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart,
this one's religion is in vain..."
-James
1:26
|
"Then Jesus said to him, Put your sword
back into its place.
For all who take the sword shall
perish by a sword."
-Matthew
26:52
"With what measure you measure, it will be measured to you,
and
more will be given to you."
-Jesus, Mk 4:24
"Bless those who persecute you; bless
and do not curse... Do not become wise within yourselves. Repay no one evil for evil... seeking peace with
ALL men;
not avenging yourselves... Vengeance is MINE, I will
repay says the Lord... If your enemy hungers, feed him; if he thirsts
give drink to him; for doing this you will heap coals of fire
on his head. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome the evil
with good."
-Jesus, Romans 12:14-21
|
Again, this is NOT an attack on Christians, but a
wake-up call!
Do Christians wish for their own children to be slaughtered?
This is happening RIGHT NOW! Where is the FAITH and TRUST in
good conquering evil, in
God's PERFECT
JUSTICE? Where is there the doing of His will? WORLD PEACE can only
come from following the most important commandment, The Golden
Rule.
|
"Therefore, all things, whatever you desire that men should do
to you, so also you should do to them; for this IS THE LAW
and
the Prophets."
-Jesus Christ Mt 7:12 "Who is wise and knowing among you? Let him
show his works by his good behavior, in meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter
jealousy and
contention (difference of opinion) in your heart, do not boast and lie
against truth. This is not the wisdom coming down from above,
but is
earthly,
beastly,
devilish. For where jealousy and
contention
are, there is
confusion and every foul deed. But the wisdom from
above is firstly truly pure, then
peaceable,
forbearing,
yielding, full of
mercy and of good
fruits, not
partial and not
pretended.
And the fruit of
righteousness is sown in
PEACE for the ones making peace."
-James 3:13-18 |
What is the one great Peace Maker?
What is the ONLY THING YOU NEED TO KNOW and live by? What is THE ONE GREAT TRUTH AND LAW? What is the ONLY THING that will END ALL CRIME, HATE, MISERY,
POVERTY, SICKNESS, WAR, or any other ILL or FOUL thing you can
possibly think of that exists within humanity?
Whether the
DIS-EASE is rooted in the physical, emotional,
mental, or spiritual, only ONE THING can CURE ALL. Only ONE
THING can END SUFFERING, and usher in PEACE!
**LOVE
IS THE ANSWER**
Only those who give and teach LOVE, and say to do unto others
as you'd have them do unto you, are true prophets,
interpreting the true meaning of Jesus' message. All the rest
are false prophets, period!
"recognize what is
in front of your face, and what is concealed
will be revealed to you. For there is nothing hidden
that will not be disclosed."
-Jesus, The
Gospel of Thomas
ProphetsForPeace.com exists to expose False
Prophets, not by telling you what to believe,
but by encouraging you to FIND the truth for yourself!
