[Violence eventually has to be dealt with other than prayer.]

Violence has to be dealt with with prayer. Pray for the enemy to be exposed. Pray that no weapon formed against America will prosper.

Violence will be dealt with - God’s way, God’s time if we only believe and act according to His will. “Vengeance is mine.” sayeth the Lord.

Unfortunately Christians are AWOL in the prayer department.

So its WW2, and we as a nation should have only prayed that the Germans and Japanese would stop their quest for world domination.

Prayer AND Action. And sometimes, the action has to be brutal. That’s what war is, horrific and brutal. No Kumbaya.

Pollyanna Christianity sounds beautiful. And if that’s what God wants, then I guess I am wrong and sinning. I’ll admit it. Won’t twist the Word to my liking BUT realize when good men do nothing...........

I write again - Prayer AND eventually ACTION on man’s part. Otherwise, slaughter. and I don’t buy for a minute any man with wife and kids are OK with that regardless of Bible interpretations.

This after you quoted from Deuteronomy, which in an earlier passage has

16 However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. 17 Completely destroy[a] them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—as the Lord your God has commanded you. 18 Otherwise, they will teach you to follow all the detestable things they do in worshiping their gods, and you will sin against the Lord your God.
God did not tell the Israelites to pray for their enemies.
