1 | As Christians what is our role in war | Matt 5:44 | JohnDiscipleship | 192651 | ||
I want to make a sincere apology to anyone who is offended by my question about a Christians role in war. I find it hard to read the old testament with all the killing that takes place compared to the new testament teachings. Would I defend my family if they were attacked? I probably would. I believe that the armed forces should be more defensive than aggressive but that is a personal view. You can be a Christian anywhere and the law you have to follow is God's law as you understand it. My quest is to understand the way to live in this world in such a way that I obey what Jesus said in Matt 28v19-20. God bless John D |

2 | As Christians what is our role in war | Matt 5:44 | michael03 | 192653 | ||
I would say to look at Eccl. 3:1-9. In Mt.24:6, Luke 21:9, The Lord knows there will be wars. I believe those in Kuwait were glad we showed up for Desert Storm. I think a country must protect itself, and those who cannot. As a Christian, I have fought in wartime, and if need be, I would do it again. It would not make me less of a Christian. However, the war crimes (murder,rape) is not a necessity for combat at any level. Shalom, michael | ||||||
