But God says he never changes that he is still the God of a consuming fire that commanded david and other prophets in the bible to go exterminate the amalakites and other idol worshippers whose ways he so much detests?

Re: God Does Not Hear Prayers Of Leaders Who Wage War – Pope Leo XIV by Captain4Jehovah(m):
Me I don't speak against what the Pope said because that's fundamentally true. Jesus came for the peace of man as heralded by the angels in Luke 2:14 but world peace cannot be achieved in this present age_man renounces Jesus because his heart is evil. Even if Jesus didn't bring peace and he didn't exist as some say, the present man's activities in terms of science and technology which ought to benefit him on earth are witnesses against him_their usage for evil intent.
China and Russia have been enemies of US right from the second world war and have been making everything possible to take world power from US. What are we talking about? Iran is a errand dog or I should say the available instrument both Russia and China are using to achieve their long desire ever since 1945.
The Arab nations have been fighting Israel right in the year they were settled in 1947/48_they don't want their existence at all. Iran and "her tentacles"_Hezbollah and COs, are terrorizing the Israelites and as well planning to annihilate them.
In this present age, like Netanyahu said,"Jesus has no advantage over Genghis Khan", man's moral, righteousness, etc as portrayed by Jesus are not enough to counter man's evil in a world beefed with various weapons of destruction. If Israel don't act fast, Iranian evil will befall her fast. Then evil will overcome good. Remember Genghis Khan was a ruthless emperor who wasted so many souls all in the name of world power_his empire was one of the largest ten empires ever seen in human history.

➜God is for everyone, not a particular people
. Stop telling yourself this lie. 🤔

The Greek gods made it abundantly clear that they are only for the Greeks. The Hindu gods made it abundantly clear that they value only their people, the Hindus. Sango, Obatala, and all of the other Yoruba gods made it clear through their many myths that the people who mattered were the individual Yoruba tribes to whom they gave their names. The same applies, as far as the Igbo gods, the Danish gods, etc. 🤔

Even in the book belonging to the Arabs, it is made clear that their book and deity apply only to the Arabs to whom it was given. So, where in the world did you obtain this notion that, despite the God of Israel proclaiming Himself God only of the people of Israel, he has to be wrong because you believe instead God is for everyone? 🤔

Don't get me wrong now! You are quite free to create for yourself a deity that is for everyone, but you cannot chip away at or diminish the facts by this personal delusion of yours.🤔

➜You are not responsible for the deeds of your ancestors. All you can do is to figure out the best way to follow moving forward.
➜ What the Pope is insinuating is crystal clear. Do with it whatsoever you wish. He is on the right track.
1. No one is saying that he is responsible for the deeds of his ancestors here. However, the current pope sits on a throne built on the deeds of his ancestors, and that includes the many lives that were lost during the crusades protecting nations against colonization by the Islamic overlords who were bent on dominating and enslaving all of the world at that time. 🤔

If the Pope claims the Catholic gods do not answer the prayers of leaders who wage wars, then what he is invariably stating is that the Popes who fought to keep the Catholic throne, which he has today, lied to the people who sacrificed their lives to keep Europe from Islam. If that is the case, shouldn't the current Pope admit this to all, and maybe also step down, since that would imply his empire, as it stands, was and still is built on lies and deceit? 🤔

2. What is instead crystal clear is that this Pope, like his many ancestors, is just another hypocrite in power. 🤔

God's own people have resolved never to raise weapons against anyone again {Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3} so when God promised to end wars globally {Psalms 46:9} He is using one role model who'll teach the OBEDIENT humans how to make the earth a Paradise that person is called the Prince of Peace! Isaiah 9:6

So when Jesus said he is coming back to execute all those who doesn't want him as their ruler {Luke 19:27} he was referring to disobedient humans who are still fighting and killing themselves thus ruining our planet home! Revelation 11:18

maybe you should take a trip and go and tell that to Islamic terrorists in northern Nigeria. And I believe Benue and Kwara people are part of the united and intelligent society, still that didn't stop the fulani Islamic terrorists from massacring them.

Your question has already been answered. Here it is again:
"War" is the only thing that can stop a person habitually breaking the law to stop breaking the law.
"War" (by you or a proxy) is the only thing that stops another person from taking your property.
"War" is the only way to stop someone from torturing you or forcing you to do what you don't wanna do.
War is the only reason you're both alive and at same time NOT worshipping Allah

Wizardslayer:
Our God is a God of war.

If you want peace prepare for war.

The God of Israel is God of war.

The whole world should be forever grateful to Benjamin netanyahu, Donald trump and the nation of Israel for their dedication in taming terrorists and radical extremists.
I seriously doubt that many people truly understand what war really is. Nigeria has largely been spared from major, prolonged conflicts, and the civil war it experienced was nothing like the large-scale, devastating wars seen in other parts of the world. Because of this, many people speak casually about war—calling for it, glorifying it, or treating it as something distant—without fully grasping its reality.
Those who talk about war and violence as if it were a game or a movie have likely never experienced its true consequences. If they had, they would not wish it upon even their enemies. What some fail to realize is that war doesn’t stay isolated; it affects everyone indirectly. If a conflict like the one involving Iran continues, it can lead to rising global tensions, which may eventually impact everyday life—such as increases in fuel prices, higher cost of goods, and a weaker naira.
Some people treat these situations like entertainment, something to watch or gossip about, without considering the broader implications. I believe no country should be subjected to external pressure or control from another, especially when it comes to decisions that affect its sovereignty. History shows patterns of intervention in different nations, and it’s important to recognize that such actions can have far-reaching consequences for the global community.

World leaders don't know they are gradually ruining the earth through the use of dangerous weapons of war thus fulfilling 2 Peter 3:7? When are we going to break our sword and turn it into plowshares? When will humans stop learning war(Isaiah 2:4)? Is it when we don't have people like Hitler, Genghis Khan, Alexander the great, etc? Is it when world leaders come to agreement in order to have a balanced world order? Who will save the earth?

The United States has at various times in recent history provided funding, weapons, or training to militant and paramilitary organizations that later engaged in activities designated as terrorism or were linked to groups designated as terrorist organizations.
Many of these relationships were forged during the Cold War in the context of resisting Soviet influence, or in the Middle East during regional conflicts, sometimes resulting in "blowback," where supported groups later turned against U.S. interests.

Here are the primary examples of terrorist or extremist organizations that have received U.S. support, funding, or training at some point:

Afghan Mujahideen (later factions of the Taliban and Al-Qaeda): During Operation Cyclone (1979–1992), the CIA provided billions of dollars in funding, weaponry (including Stinger missiles), and training to the mujahideen fighting the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. These groups were supported through Pakistan's ISI. While the U.S. generally did not directly fund Osama bin Laden, many of the Arab and Afghan fighters supported through this network eventually formed the core of Al-Qaeda and the Taliban.

The Haqqani Network: Led by Jalaluddin Haqqani, this group was a key recipient of U.S. and Pakistani support in the 1980s as a key mujahideen faction against the Soviets. The Haqqani network later affiliated with the Taliban and was designated as a foreign terrorist organization by the U.S. in 2012.
The Contras (Nicaragua): From 1981 to 1991, the U.S. provided funding, training, and logistical support to the Contra rebels, who used terror tactics in their fight against the Nicaraguan government.

Syrian Rebel Groups (later affiliated with extremist groups): During the Syrian Civil War, the U.S. provided training and arms to various anti-Assad rebel groups. Reports indicate some of these weapons and training were transferred to or ended up in the hands of radical jihadist factions, including groups affiliated with Al-Nusra Front (now Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham), which was designated a terrorist organization.

Al-Qaeda in Iraq (Forerunner of ISIS): While not directly funded by the U.S., the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq and subsequent destabilization of the region contributed to the rise of Al-Qaeda in Iraq, which later evolved into the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL/ISIS), considered a major U.S. adversary.

Libyan Militants (2011): During the 2011 uprising in Libya, the U.S. provided support to rebel factions aiming to topple Muammar Gaddafi. Some of these militias were later identified as having ties to extremist groups responsible for the 2012 Benghazi attack.

Individuals and Exiles: The U.S. has at times provided support to individuals involved in terrorism, such as Cuban exiles Orlando Bosch and Luis Posada Carriles, who were involved in violence against the Cuban government, including the 1976 Cubana Airlines bombing.

Captain4Jehovah:
Who will save the earth?
Jesus sent Jehovah's Witnesses to all the nations {Matthew 28:19-20} to help right hearted individuals to know God's plan regarding the destruction of evil people {Psalms 37:9-11} that's why you will see Jehovah's Witnesses always in your neighborhood because a time will come when we will no longer come to preach to anyone again.

Presently names of people doing the work and those responding to our preaching is being written by angels. Malachi 3:16

So by the time Jesus returns with his heavenly armies he will order them to destroy all those who names and not found in the book written by the angels {Matthew 10:14-15} because they refuse to accept him as their ruler! Luke 19:27

Ok, let me bring down to elementary school level for you.
Let's say you get wind that a group that hates JW is planning to attack your KH. You later see an armed group gathering near your KH. Naturally you call the police. When the police come they attack the police and they start fighting. What is that fight called? Afterwards the police subdue them and post some officers near your KH and you resume having your meetings in peace.
What is your benefit from that war?
