Now remember, that we as Christians should not avange outselves, but rather allow God to avange us. Remember that God FORBIDS us to avange ourselves. However, it is perfectly LEGAL for God to avage others. (Romans 12:19-20). If you read this scripture, the scripture says that not only are we forbidden to avange ourselves, but also we must feed the enemy if he is hungry. In other words, we must show LOVE to our enemy (INCLUDING IRAQ AND AFGANASTAN).

Rom. 1 good example of this. There are many places in the O.T. that says if you do this you shall surely put to death.

Remember, that since God is a creator, it's perfectly ok for God to kill or destroy. Since we did not create our others, it is wrong for us to destroy.
If you made a wooden car, then you have the right to destroy it. If you create a wooden car, I DO NOT have the right to destroy it.

We find places in the NT, where God forbids violence. Violence is war.
