Things that sound "Christian"…but aren't!

One of the things that amuses me is when Christians post things that sound "Christian"…but aren't.  I wonder if they ever take the time to think through what they are posting.  Here is what I saw yesterday that made me laugh.

"War is never the answer"  Really?  Have you read your Bible.  War actually is the answer.  The final answer.  Here is what I am talking about.

Have you ever heard of the War of Armageddon and the 2nd Coming of Jesus?  Let's start with these verses from Revelation.

Revelation 19:11-21(NKJV)

Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. 

His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. 

He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. 

And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. 

Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 

And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

Then I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven, “Come and gather together for the supper of the great God, 

that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, both small and great.”

And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. 

Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. 

And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh.

Notice that the reign of Christ is ushered in on the victory of war.  The reign of Christ does not come peacefully.  In verse 11 it specifically says that Christ "makes war".  So if war was never the answer, why would Jesus make war? 

The fact is, according to Scripture, war not only is the answer some times but it is vital for God's plan of Jesus coming to power.  So are the people who say that "war is never the answer" saying that God is wrong and they know better than God does?

I'll bet many of you never thought of it that way do you?  :)
