Yeah, I believe it could be. Granted that this verse was for the Israelites, and they had certain rules of engagement that they were expected to follow when going to war. However, I believe that the concept of this is that we should always keep our focus on God no matter what the circumstances. Hebrews 13:5-6 (NKJV) ".....I will never leave you nor forsake you. 6. So we may boldly say: The Lord is my Helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?" Because of this promise, Christians can be content in EVERY situation. Even if we are severely out numbered by our enemies. As a street brawler, my enemies' number was of great concern; But as a Christian, I no longer have that concern. Everyday I'm surrounded by non-believers who want to make an example out of me because of my position in Christ, this is my war and I no longer worry about it. Because of this promise I know that God is with the individual, and they have nothing to fear. However; rather God is with the entire army depends on where that entire army is with God. So can Deuteronomy 20:1 be applied to todays war?? In my opinion, ABSOLUTELY! The CurtMan |

If you take this verse OUT OF CONTEXT, it still doesn't apply ... horses ... there are some and chariots ... there are none and people more numerous than you ... this is false you up from the land of Egypt ... also not true Read the context .. chapters 4-30 and see this is for Israel only then - not today |

Sorry Sis, I'm not seeing it that way. I'm not denying that this was for the Israelites. The question is, as I understand it to be, can the principles governing this verse be applied today. I believe they can. What? God never bought you up from Egypt? From the bondage of sin? From your old hard taskmaster before Christ? I believe the principles governing this verse can be applied today.

I was never in Egypt ... there are no chariots ... and the CONTEXT proves this is for Israel only. While we can learn from this PASSAGE - in CONTEXT, we may not claim it for us. If you think this VERSE about Israel can apply to us ... do you take ALL PASSAGES about Israel and apply it to us. Read the CONTEXT abd answer my question ... including the punishment. |
