1 | Is war biblical? | John 18:36 | DocTrinsograce | 203900 | ||
Dear Lionheart, You asked, "...is this a subject that Spurgeon deals with in any depth." Not to my knowledge. By Spurgeon's day, the notion of covenant nations had finally been abandoned. Much changed in 250 years. We have a lot to be proud of in that time period, as well as a lot for which we should be ashamed. Sometimes things were done wisely, but sometimes things were done in a less considered fashion. The question of how to administer violence in appropriate and controlled doses tends to come up in the last hundred years, at least in America, when war is in the offing. Frankly, I think it is a good thing to discuss. A knee jerk jingoist is little better than a knee jerk rebel! Our faith teaches us to carefully think things through. As technologies and circumstances change, it is good and right to carefully reflect on how we live and what we do, individually and collectively. In Him, Doc |

Hi, Lionheart... I'm no better than anyone else. I just am willing to read the history and theology of a bunch of dead guys. We're a simple-minded, shallow society. It takes a lot of work to wade through what those guys went through and preached. Most people don't even know their names! Truth is, the Holy Spirit has been bringing light through the Word to the church for a lot of centuries. Satan knows, though, that if you keep a people ignorant of the past, their own prideful hearts will cause them to think that they are the pinnacle of wisdom and knowledge (Ephesians 4:11-18)... note particularly that Christ gave us all those dead guys specifically so that we'd not walk with darkened minds. In Him, Doc |

Doc, But you do what allot of people dom't or won't do. You take the time to dig in the Word and do the leg work and that my friend does make a difference. In Him, lionheart |
