Question:

A question of Christianity, war, and peace?...?

I am normally one to answer many questions, but this is one question that I have to ask. I am a Christian and feel as though I have reached a point of maturity where I now create peace with others in the name of GOD. And yet, we fight a war in the name of GOD, so I am confused. During the Catholic Crusades, a war was fought in the name of GOD to remove the Muslims from Israel. Then Saladin rose up and fought the Christians (he was Muslim) in the name of GOD. The Germans fought the Americans saying (translated) GOD is with us and Americans said the same thing. Christians say that GOD is with us in a role as an occupier in Iraq while the Muslim extremist claim that they are fighting a holy war. Yet I am a man of peace. So my question is this: Am I wrong to create peace with others of different nationalities and religions? Or do I take sides in this war saying GOD is with us. I am of the personal belief that GOD is a GOD of peace and I wanted to know what others think.

May God Bless You with health and prosperity and keep you on the Straight Path Amen.

With reference to your Question:

We attained the belief in God through His Noble Holy Prophets. While we say that we believe in God, we do not follow the path of the Holy Prophets, which is the cause of all the Turmoil in this world.

While God is the One and the same God to all the Holy Prophets Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad peace be on all of them. If all the followers of those Prophets follow the path as shown respectively by them. There shall be peace prevailing in this world.

But unfortunately it is not. The followers have even violated the instructions of their prophets right in their period as you know. Again after the prophets passing away God has sent other Prophets to remind us. So Moses came after Abraham Jesus came after Moses and Muhammad came after Jusus.

While the Ultimate God and His doctrine remains the same in Basics, it is we the Followers, who are waging war and killing each other in the name of Religion, which cannot be understood even by me.

It is a Blessing that people like you are still there in this world thinking on these lines, so there is a chance of peace, if I and many others keep following on this path. This might keep the Armagadon a bit far to reach this wretched world.

Keep it Going Brother, Welll Done.

May Allah God Keep all of us on His Straight Path Amen.
