You quote John 18:36

Where was His Kingdom then. Could it be in heaven?

be not to murder someone. We have laws in our government against
murder anyway. Therefore, we only need to follow the laws in our
government to obey Jesus.

By the way, what does this have to do with the Holy Spirit? Just curious.
Nagasaki killing civilians was morally justifiable from your stance, After all it was a
demonstration of your willingness and ability to defeat your enemy? what about
Napalm bombs, were they also morally justifiable? It has nothing to do with the Holy
Spirit, unless of course you wish that I prove such contemptible and fiendish acts to be

deaths, on both sides of the war, by forcing the Japanese leaders to surrender.
The Japanese people are much better off for it. And it is a shame the USA sacrificed so many lives liberating the Iraqi people and spent so much of our citizens tax money to rebuild Iraq and we are not getting any appreciation
or repayment for it. President Bush was forced, by the liberal media and the
democrates, to refuse asking for any oil, so that he and the USA would not
be accused of invading Iraq for the oil which we needed. And in Vietnam
we fought to stop the rapid spread of communism which threated the freedom
of the entire world. Bad things happen in wars; but freedom is worth fighting for
even if it is not our own. We look forward to that day when all men know
the truth and there will be no need for wars to protect our freedoms.

like you would have learned something from your history teachers
about how important it it was for the USA to enter World War II to
help save Europe from Hitler and the Nazis. If the Japanese had
not attacked the USA when they did we may not have entered that
war. I wonder what would of happened to England, France, and the
other democratic countries in Europe then.

I found this statement rather curious regarding the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki -
The Japanese people are much better off for it.
Are you implying that the Japanese should say thank you?
Could you point out where Jesus said it was acceptable to indiscriminately kill innocent civilains?
