You speak for God now? God is always a pacifist no matter what the circumstances you think?
Think there is a Commandment that says "No going to war unless your enemy has already invaded your lands, at least killed many of your own people -and absolutely no pre-emptive strikes allowed so they can't come after you at all"? Might want to check out the Bible again -plenty of wars in it that were clearly part of God's plans. Might want to check out what God told the Jews about how to take possession of the Promised Land when they finally reached it -and it was occupied already. It wasn't by negotiation.
Might want to take another look at Ecclesiastes 3:
1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3 a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 a time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 a time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
And check out the Book of Revelation regarding a really big war and see whether its part of God's plan or not.
Palin prayed that what our leaders were doing was part of God's plan, knowing full well that God's plans cannot be known by man -and that sometimes as horrible as it can be, war really is part of His plan. So she was praying that we were doing God's will. And considering that, who in their right mind would pray it wasn't?
Maybe you have this idea that God is some kind of warm, fuzzy, touchy-feely amorphous "pure love" kind of thing or something. The Bible says that above all, God is JUST. And being just isn't always warm and fuzzy, is it?
Your rehashing and must not have followed the thread, Someone already asked me if I was playing God and no I am not and why would you say that. I am not the one that started this war or had false intelligence. Do you think God is mad at me because of this war. Thats just a stupid comment. Lets go out and start a war and then after it doesnt work out lets pray that we didnt upset the man upstairs. What kind of logic is that? Also if we have seperation of church and state(which we dont) Then why would God even come into the picture except for the poor folks that have kids, dads, mothers, sisters and brothers over there fighting. Your way out of context.
