...simply because He is a God of Love, who has equal and absolute Love for all of His children.
How can you claim that He is a God of War?
Our Father does NOT advocate conflicts between His children; the death of one of His sons or daughters does bring Him neither Joy nor Pleasure.
"For God is not a God of disorder but of Peace" (1 Corinthians 14:33).
What we must realize is that God promised us everlasting Peace! (Ezekiel 34:25-31)
God WANTS Peace!
But, foremost, Peace comes from Forgiveness!
"Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at Peace with everyone. Do not take Revenge, my friends, but leave room for God’s Wrath, for it is written: 'It is mine to revenge; I will repay,' (Deut. 32:35) says the Lord. On the contrary: 'If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.' (Prov. 25:21-22) Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good" (Romans 12:17-21).
Remember, brothers and sisters...
"Blessed are the Peacemakers, for they will be called sons (and daughters) of God" (Matthew 5:9).
"Finally, brothers (and sisters), good-bye. Aim for perfection, listen to my appeal, be of one mind, live in Peace. And the God of Love and Peace will be with you. Greet on another with a holy kiss. All the saints send their greetings. May the Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all" (2 Corinthians 13: 11-14).
