These Christians you speak of are the same christians that will put me in the electric chair if I go on a murdering spree.
But, you say I can be forgiven just by asking for forgiveness. If thats the case, why don't we forgive murderers when they turn their life over to Jesus? Instead, we strap them in a chair and kill them with a 100,000 volts.

You know what is ironic. That Christian believe Jesus is the Messiah promised to the Jews. The Messiah concept in Judaism does not promise a savior for sin.

Jesus was not the savior "promised" for the Jews...God is not the God of the Jews exclusively.
People that though like that at that time, couldn't understand why Jesus used to sit down and to spend time with gentle people (not Jews)...that's why... because Jesus was not meant to be the savior of just Jewish people.
What was promised to David and later prophesied by Isaiah was that Jesus would be born from a Jewish bloodline (from David's bloodline).

Not through the bloodline of Salomon! Tell me what you think of this article.
www.messiahtruth.com...
1 Chronicles 22:9 Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days. [10] He shall build a house for my name; and he shall be My son, and I [will be] his Father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever. (KJV)
So we see, any man who would sit on the throne must not only be a descendant of King David, but specifically a descendant of David’s son, Solomon.

Assuming there is a heaven and God gave us the Ten Commandments..
The sixth commandment is very clear - THOU SHALT NOT KILL.
And supporting the war makes you an accomplice.
Same as the death penalty, if you are for it, you are breaking a commandment.

Or maybe the Abrahamic faiths are completely off base, and you judge yourself based on your actions in life. Then you make a decision on how to grow spiritually from there.
Just a thought...

Ok, here are a few hypothetical questions for any Christian...
If Jesus was drafted into the Army and sent to War, would he kill? Would he fight?
How can you be a Christian Army Soldier?
Or, if a Murderer killed his Mom, Mary, would he want that person executed?
