1 | As Christians what is our role in war | Matt 5:44 | JohnDiscipleship | 192632 | ||
There is killing in time of war, but are we to be the killers (we meaning Christians) or are we meant to be the healers? Eccl. 3 v3 There is a time to kill and a time to HEAL. Surely we must follow Christs example in this and not hit back at those who attack us. Eph. 6v12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against rulers , against the authorities, against the spiritual forcesof evil in the heavenly realms. Eph.6v15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. Let us make sure that we are following the way that Christ has set for us and that we don't get caught up in the battles of this world. God bless and grant you his peace. Amen |

Hi John, While there are divergent views on this topic, you may be better advised to stick with the study of scripture and not the promotion of pacifism! Might I ask what you point is and why you ask this question? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

3 | As Christians what is our role in war | Matt 5:44 | JohnDiscipleship | 192649 | ||
Brad my point for asking this question is because I have trouble with a Christian view that thinks we should shoot our enemies rather than pray for them. I don't think that anyone should tell another Christian to kill someone else no matter what they have done, as this places us in judgement of others. I believe that this is a study of scripture as Jesus tells us in Matt 5v38-39 not to take an eye for an eye but to turn the other cheek. God bless John D |
