Rev. Franklin Graham prayed for victory over Iran. Pope Leo condemned the war.

They are both Americans, and they are both Christians.

Who is sitting on the right side of Jesus, and who is on wrong side with the Devil?

This is a discussion for devout American Christians who are committed to their faith.

Christianity has nothing to do with America. It’s a relationship with the living God.

The religious part of the biblical fairytale doesn't have jack shit to do with Gentiles.

Which part is that?

Graham is Protestant and the Pope is Catholic. Wars have been fought over this.

It has been said that Billy Graham was actually a Christian and wasn't all that concerned with becoming wealthy, but he sure did raise one piece of shit of a son.

Jesus never said to make war or to kill ones enemies. He did say to love them and to do good them and to turn the other cheek. Paul said that we Christians were not to get involved in civilian affairs. I will let you figure it out from there.

Christians are not civilians?

@sree251 Many Christians don't vote. Many won't join the Armed Forces. Many won't run for political office.

Ok, I get it. Avoiding politics and the world of Caesar.

Pope Leo is mostly correct, but Jesus was not averse to conflict. If a war were truly justified, say in self-defense, then Jesus would support it. This war doesn't even come close to rising to that standard.

@sree251 "... made up..."

So it may be, but don't forget Jesus (if he really existed) and his contemporary followers were all Jews themselves.

The story describes him regarding the usurers as desecrating the temple by using it for their trade.

Jesus, the character in the gospel stories are definitely made up by Jews. However, the teaching attributed to Jesus transmits a message that transcends Jewish moral values. It is that message that inspires a universal following unconnected to Judaism, the religion of Jews.

@sree251 I take your theological point there, but as a person he was Jewish.
