“In that day this song will be sung in the Land of Judah: We have a strong city; God makes salvation its walls and ramparts Open the gates that the righteous nation may enter, the nation that keeps faith. You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal.” -Isaiah 26:1-4
Martin Luther King, Jr. had it right: “The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
The Criminality of War, Charles Mercieca, Ph.D. President, International Association of Educators for World Peace Dedicated to United Nations Goals of Peace Education, Environmental Protection, Human Rights & Disarmament Professor Emeritus, Alabama A&M University “These latter ones may be viewed as demonic agents of our earthly community. To turn insult into injury, some of the culprits of our society, in the instigation of more wars, talk like they reveal concern for the life people in general, conduct prayers in public, and act like they were angels in human form. In essence, we are surrounded here by Pharisees by hypocrites who need to be exposed.”
Secular State: “When the government and legal system is separated from control of the priests or the religious establishment. The state’s values are based on systems not overtly drawn from religious examples… Communist States …are typically secular.” –DK, The Book of Rule
War is not a normal state The war ends with Jesus! Jesus killed no one! Jesus bled and died for our sins, and overcame death and the grave! It is written: [Jesus:] “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. … But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. … If you love those who love you, what reward will you get.” -Matthew 5:38, 43, 46
