I don't believe Christ's message of love is the love you preach. Were God's chosen people violating love when they followed God's instructions and went to war? Were they in violation when they followed God demand to kill all the inhabitants? No of course not. ...  He was infact planning more attacks. He was killed. He died in terror hiding behing his wife.

PW, to compare the West's actions to those of the people of Israel is fatuous.  The people of Israel were a small community, initially of nomads, who had to fight for their survival and their nationhood.  In no way are we in the West fighting for our survival.  Amused by your comment about hiding behind his wife - as I understand the current US Administration statements, this was not the case.

As for his planning new attacks, the last time al Quaeda managed to make a successful attack on any part of the globe was our own 7/7 (2005).  Is he/they really that serious a threat?

He died the way he dcided to make others die.

Precisely.  He died in exactly the same way that the Americans claim is not 'Christian'!!

God will judge Osama and Osama will answer. Christ did not confront the money changers with hippie love. He confronted them in a violent manner all the while being true to the message of love. Christ's behavior so scared them they fled the temple. Point is, your notion of Christ's love is not what He showed us. You have a different love an unrealistic one. Christ was being real, he was true to His message of love when he sent the tables flying and the merchants fleeing.

I suspect that God will judge the larger picture and the larger involvement, PW.  Your own example - the cleansing of the Temple - involves no deaths.  Doesn't this suggest that your application of the lessons is flawed?

mclarkie, if America is totally to blame like you insist it is, then what on earth would give you or me or anybody the right to stop further attacks planned by Osama? After all America is TOTALLY to blame. What would give us the right to catch him and send him to a celll for the rest of his life if America is totally to blame as you insist?

Not sure that anyone has suggested that "America is totally to blame" (other than yourself in this post).  Rather, we have pointed out that the West - as a whole - has questions to answer regarding their involvement in the overall picture in the development of several people such as Bin Laden.

Jan,
Wow that was a deep response. Little thought, no relextions, no grasp, no sharing of ones thoughts on the topic, just a comedic crack at the reality that Christ did infact resort to violent behavior while not deviating from the message of love. Nice.

I think Jan was pointing out that your arguments are often so shallow and scripturally unsupported as to make them somewhat spurious.  As far as I am aware, Jesus committed no violence against people, despite - in many cases - massive intimidation.
