Ron Paul - If Peacemakers Are Children of God, Whose Children Are Warmakers?

If Peacemakers Are Children of God, Whose Children Are Warmakers?

The ascension of Dr Ron Paul to the top of the top tier of Republican candidates for President in the Iowa polls is not surprising to all of the Americans who support his R3volution to Restore America. Dr Ron Paul’s R3volutionary army is a coalition of Americans from across the spectrum of society, who reaffirm the principles of Liberty set forth in the Declaration of Independence and who join Dr Paul in his sacred oath to follow the constitution. All of the groups in society who cherish their autonomy against government interference have come together to support Ron Paul because they each recognize that Ron Paul is supportive of personal liberty for everyone who respects the Life and Property of all individuals.

    The reason Ron Paul is the way he is can be found in the opening sentence of his Statement of Faith in which he says,

““I have accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior, and I endeavor every day to follow Him in all I do and in every position I advocate.”

In other words Ron Paul is saying that when it comes time for him to advocate a position he decides by asking himself “What would Jesus Do?” Now to some people this might sound scary because when you mention Christ to them, they think about a God that is authoritarian and judgmental. Well just as much as Ron Paul stands alone on political issues amongst the other candidates he also stands alone on spiritual issues. What I mean by that is that Dr. Ron Paul is at odds with the other candidates as to the nature of God and of the personality of Jesus Christ. Dr. Paul says,

“It is God Who gave us life.  As He is free, so are those He created in His image.  Our rights to life and liberty are inalienable”

So God’s nature is freedom which we have as our nature. This concept that our rights come from the hand of God and not any other place is central to the Declaration of Independence and codified in the U.S. Constitution. Using the concept of Jesus as giver of freedom, Ron Paul then does a “What Would Jesus Do” on the Constitution and lives the answer that comes 100% and proclaims it throughout the land. Dr Ron Paul makes his feelings comply with his beliefs. He doesn’t worry about what he should say when attacked because he knows that the Holy Spirit of Jesus will provide him with all the words he needs.

     The biggest area of contention that Ron Paul has is his foreign policy. Dr Ron Paul’s foreign policy is reflective of his dedication to Liberty and Peace; he believes in non-interventionism in regards to the sovereign affairs of other nations; he believes in being friendly traders with all nations that act friendly towards us; he believes in zero foreign aid. All around it is pretty simple to interpret the application of Ron Paul’s foreign policy to any situation; simply ask the question “What Would Jesus Do?” to Jesus the Peacemaker that Dr Paul advocates and you will know. In his speech at FRC Action (see Video at end of article) Dr. Paul quotes Matthew 5; 9 “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God” and argues that we should preserve and protect the peacemakers. All the other Republican candidates and Barack Obama are warmakers; I think this is a fair question to ask them...

IF PEACEMAKERS ARE CHILDREN OF GOD, WHOSE CHILDREN ARE WARMAKERS?
