Do you know that Jesus Christ himself can't be called a Child of God......why? Because he wasn't a peacemaker that's why. ( Lk 12: 51-53; John 7:43; 10:19). He gave peace to only those who believe the revelation that God spoke through Him ( John 14:27). All Kingdom Builders are Peacemakers and Sermon on the Mount lovers. They are the very same ones who love their enemies when out own government tells a soldier to kill them. Now we have a nut in the Dark-house who wants to love Iran and kick Israel out of her God given land for peace.
Shain,

The problem with the above argument is the lack of understanding regarding the fact that the christian is 'in this world, but not of this world'. (I'm para-phrasing a bit, so I dont get into trouble for not quoting KJV). If you get too caught up in the woes of this world, arnt you doing the very same thing you accuse the 'kingdom builders' of doing? Yes, we need to stand for Israel, but I dont see hating the enemy as a way to accomplish this. That is only selling your soul and giving into the prince of this world. We pray for Israel, we (gulp) pray for the enemy and we SET OUR SIGHTS above and to our Redemption. That is the Biblical view and I do believe that the Word supports this.
