God likes war. It kills off sinners.

Read the book of Revelations with a concordance. There's mentions of "the dragon of the East". And there's referrences of Assyrian armies attacking Israel. All in all, it's not a pretty picture for the future of our world.

The word "Tuesday", however, was derived from a wholly different religious tradition. Tyr or Tiw was the Norse God of War. When the Germanic Angles and Saxon's invaded England in the 500's they suplanted a culture that had been heavily influenced by Rome for several hundred years. The day, Tuesday, had already been named for the Roman God of War, Martius (notice in French, Italian, and Spanish - the word for Tuesday is still derivative of the Roman God - Mardi, Martedi and Martes - respectively). When the Germanic tribes conquered England, they laid their own lexicon over that of the Roman's so that the Norse God of War now supplanted the Roman God of War (after all the Norse God was obviously more potent). Thus they called the day of the God of War tiwesdaeg. \n\n--http://www.indepthinfo.com/weekdays/tuesday.shtml

Satan isn't really one single being in the bible. Like black_hole_gravity said, it means "adversary" and it's more of a title than a name. Although Lucifer still is a villain in christian mythology. He did rebel against god in the story.

Spiritual warfare is the mythical battle going on in the spiritual realm.  The concept is not from the Bible, but from the books of Enoch, which were prominant in Hellenistic Judaism as well as early Christianity.\n\nThose books were dropped by the church of Rome because they tended to undermine the authoritarian nature of the 'Jesus as god incarnate' myth.

it really depends on which god you're speaking of. the god of the jews and christians (being one in the same) is an all knowing god and hardly needs to ask us anything. war being the current political issue on the books i guess the ? could be something in the neighborhood of "why is oil so important to you when i've offered you other alternatives?" spiritually speaking i'm guessing the ? could be "you see the miracle of life all around you every day and still you question my existance.  what don't you understand?" as a mere mortal i can hardly speculate as to the wonderings of a diety. as your fellow human i have to ask "if god were real?" be you pagan, christian, jew, or muslam, you simply cannot question the existance of at least some supreme being.

You should rent the movie "Stargate" if you haven't already.  They have an interesting point about the pronunciation of ancient Egyptian.  Anyway, I think you are going in the right direction.  I think Chritianity stemmed from Osirus and Isis.  Also remember that one pharoah who caused a ruckus by claiming there was only one god, instead of multiple gods.  He was one of the first monotheists.  Wasn't he Amun-Ra?  Start your religion. Good luck.

God is on the right side - everyone else is wrong.  Christians are supposed to be one body, but we fail.  Thankfully, God forgives us when we do.  \n\nThe wars that are fought in Christ's name are not necessarily of God.  Many profess to be Christian, and are not.  Many use His Name to further their own agenda - not God's.\n\nThe Spanish Inquisition was NOT what God wanted - it was people who used God's name to further their own greed and ambition.

Hello!\n\nThis is a good question and am glad you asked it.\n\nThe Bible says,\n\n"And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him." (Revelation 12:7-9).\n\nAccording to this Bible verse, it seems that it was Michael who cast the devil out of Heaven (of course, we're not setting aside what Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 say about this theme). At least we know He fought against the devil and defeated him.\n\nThe question is, who is Michael?\n\nMany things have been said about this Archangel. One of the most mysterious Characters in the Bible, for sure.\n\nThe word "angel" is the greek word for "messenger". The word "arch" means "chief". So Michael is the Chief of the angels (it's very possible it was Him who appeared to Joshua). The Name of this Archangel gives us another clue too: the Name "Michael" means "Who is like God"; it might be a question too: "Who is like God?". By studying what is said about Him in the Scriptures, we conclude that Michael is actually Jesus Christ. Let's go to the Biblical evidences:\n\n(The following was quoted from this webpage:http://www.adventistbiblicalresearch.org/Biblequestions/jesusothername.htm)\n\n\nWhat biblical evidence supports the teaching that Michael is another name for Jesus?\n\n      The name Michael is used five times in the Bible to designate a celestial being (Dan. 10:13, 21; 12:1; Jude 9; Rev. 12:7). He is nowhere explicitly identified with Jesus, but some Christian writers have equated the two by carefully comparing the role played by Michael with that of Jesus. Any comparisons yield not only similarities but also dissimilarities, and both should be taken into account. We'll start with the passages in which Michael is mentioned and then broaden the horizon to include several passages that are conceptually related to His person and experience.\n      1. He seems to be an angel: Michael is identified as "one of the chief princes" (Dan. 10:13), "your prince" (verse 21), "the great prince" (Dan. 12:1), and "the archangel" (Jude 9). "Archangel" implies that He is the prince of the angels, suggesting that Michael cannot be another name for Jesus because He is divine and angels are created beings. \n      Part of the problem is that the noun "angel" is taken to designate a creature, while in the Bible it designates a function. In other words, an "angel" is a being who functions as a "messenger" of God. In most cases they are created beings, but there is an exception.\n      In the Old Testament there are several references to the "angel [messenger] of the Lord" in which He is equated with God (e.g., Ex. 3:2, 4; Judges 6:12, 14). It is not that the Messenger is identified with the One who sent Him as His representative, but rather that the Sender functions at the same time as the Messenger. Many Christians have identified the Angel of the Lord as the preincarnate Christ. This Christological interpretation seems to be biblically valid.\n      2. He is leader of the angels: The phrase "one of the chief princes" (Dan. 10:13) could give the impression that He is one among many princes. But according to Revelation 12:7, Michael is the supreme leader of the heavenly angels, or "the great prince." When necessary, He personally assists angels in their assigned tasks (Dan. 10:13), yet the angelic hosts are under His command (Rev. 12:7). He is indeed the "archangel" (Jude 9). This title is mentioned in one other place in the Bible: 1 Thesselonians 4:16, in the context of th

You've got to remember.  It's not about what we perceive as reality.  The Bible says there is a war in the "invisbles". . .the unseen.  It is a war against the principalities and powers of Satan.  Their objective is to supplant God.  Ålways has been.  God's objective is to redeem man, to get man back into fellowship with Him.  So, as Christians, we are in the family and Satan knows to bring whatever he has to bear against us.  Sex, war, terrorism. . .whatever.  Satan knows the Bible a whole lot better than we do and he is not afraid to jack us up royally.  He is the father of lies.  Satan's goal for us is self-destruction.  Since we choose to love God and follow Him, the only way Satan can really hurt God is to get us to choose to self-destruct.  He gets us where our weakness is and then just lets sin take it course. . .the end being self-destruction.  The world is just a part of that process.  There are really only two religions in the world.  Christianity and Hinduism.  Christianity says" you need a God".  Hinduism, which comes in many forms from  Mormonism to Humanism to whatever says 'you can be your own god."  If you'll recall, that's just the same old lie Satan used in the garden and is still using today.  Hope that helps.

If I'm not mistaken the parthenon was built to honor Athena the goddess of war. It was later used as a Christian Church
