1 | Peacemakers and Politics? | Bible general Archive 2 | tlewis | 134046 | ||
Question: In Matthew 5:9 Jesus says, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God." Is this refering to people who make peace between countries, or people groups or individuals; or does it refer to Christians who labor to reconcile (make peace between) the unbeliever and the Father? I ask this because with the the US elections quickly approaching, this was mentioned as a topic for discussion when choosing whom to vote for. For it seems that at least one candidate is not a "peacemaker" if viewed in the non-spiritual sense. My personal thought is that if one is called a peacemaker and for this reason also a "son of God" then peacemakers seems to refer to reconcilers. Any thoughts? |

tlewis: Please take no offense, for none is intended. I just wanted to remind you that: StudyBibleForum.com is NOT a political forum. It is a place where you can ask and answer questions about the Bible. Your question is political, not biblical. Thus, it is inappropriate on this Forum. Grace and peace to you, Kalos |

Actually it is not a political question at all. I simply gave my rational for asking the question. The question stands alone without imputing any politics: what is a "peacemaker". If the Word of God says "Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called sons of God", then I think it is important to know what "peacemaker" refers to, don't you? | ||||||
