Citing faith in a loving, non-violent God, and pointing to Jesus the peacemaker, McLaren told Obama that escalation in Afghanistan is not a change we can believe in.

Lets spend more money because we can always print more, right?
If they hold a gun, or hide a bomb...kill them. Let Jehovah sort it out. And if it happens again on American soil, make Mecca a green glass crater and put them all in camps. When American Muslims stood silent on 9/12, they all threw in with their Jehadi buddies. Their is no good thing that has come from them in a thousand years.
Funny how they bring God out of a closet when wanting to make a point.
But what will be the cost dollar wise and human life wise if we pull out? The enemy WILL KNOW that the "cost" of war will be too high for us, and will declare it. (oops they already have)
We are in this war, whether we want it or not. The only alternative is do we keep it in Afghanistan and Iraq, or do we let reach the rest of the world and our own shores.
If that happens, it won't matter the money spend on "humanitarian" stuff.
Peace loving? I think not
1 John 3:8, “The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.”
“Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, BUT A SWORD” (Matt. 10:34).
“They PROFESS that they know God; but in works they deny Him, being ABOMINABLE, and DISOBEDIENT, and unto every good work REPROBATE” (Titus 1:16).
“But WOE [Deep DISTRESS, MISERY, GRIEF, MISFORTUNE, CALAMITY, SORROW, DISMAY] unto you, scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES FOR YOU SHUT UP THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN AGAINST MEN
WOE unto you, scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES you DEVOUR WIDOWS HOUSES
WOE unto you, scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES
WOE unto you, ye BLIND GUIDES
You FOOLS AND BLIND
You FOOLS AND BLIND
WOE unto you, scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES! You have omitted JUDGMENT, MERCY, and FAITH
You BLIND GUIDES
WOE unto you, scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES
You BLIND PHARISEES
Woe UNTO YOU, SCRIBES AND Pharisees, HYPOCRITES! You are FULL OF HYPOCRISY AND INIQUITY
WOE unto you, scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES! you are the children of them which KILLED the prophets. Fill YOU up then the measure of your fathers.
You SERPENTS, you GENERATION OF SNAKES you KILL AND CRUCIFY you SCOURGE in your synagogues Behold your house is left unto you DESOLATE”!!! (Selections from Matt. 23).
Jesus was ‘peaceful’ (but firm in pointing out sin) to htose that loved Him, but to the enemies of God, He brought (and will breing) the sword of justice
