Re: Christianity and War
While I enjoy the song "WAR" I disagree with the lyrics that say it is good for "absolutely nothing". I do believe that there are instances where to protect our country we must act proactively.
For example to allow a radical Muslim Nation like Iran now or what Pakistan may be someday soon to have nuclear weapons is unaccpetable.
Unlike the Soviet Union who was our enemy in the Cold War a radical Muslim nation has no common sense to restrain it form using a nuclear weapon when faced with "mutually assured destruction".
In addition I believe the United States should take out Radical Muslim terror cells who are continually planning attacks on the West no matter where they are.
About the only thing I support President Hussein in is his increased use of Drone attacks to kill Al Queda and other terrorist leaders.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
