Christianity - a Religion of Peace?

Apparently not.


At Jubilee Christian Center, a large Pentecostal church in San Jose, many congregants have children in the military.

"Most evangelicals -- Baptists and Pentecostals -- are lining up behind President Bush," said Jubilee Pastor Dick Bernal.

"Jesus did not come to bring peace on Earth. I don't agree with those clergy who say Jesus would be marching for peace. Jesus said he did not come to bring peace, but a sword. Jesus brings peace to the individual heart amid war and pestilence and famine."
