1 | Is war biblical? | John 18:36 | Churon | 153149 | ||
As I said before not everything that god commanded in the OT is still a guideline of what to do today. maybe you could just give one example of a just-war and I'm pretty sure I can contradict that. The thing is that there is simply no passage in the NT that I've found yet that deals with wars. Besides that there are plenty of scritptures in the NT that proclaim peace. Starting with Jesus being called the prince of peace going to his actions (healing a wounded soldier's ear who arrested him, his suffering without a sign of defense and so on. He never ever used force to punish any sinner. Isn't there a reason for the "what would Jesus do" idea?) |

Dear Churon: You stated emphatically that, (speaking of Jesus) "He never ever used force to punish any sinner." Hmm, I seem to recall in scripture where He drove some unsavory merchants out of the temple by the use of a whip! That sounds a lot like force! He also told His disciples to take up swords, and if they did not have one to sell there coat to buy one! Luke 22:36 And He said to them, "But now, whoever has a money belt is to take it along, likewise also a bag, and whoever has no sword is to sell his coat and buy one. You asked for idea(s) on "what would Jesus do"? : that gives me an idea; how about you? God bless John |
