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?) |

To Doc: Those reules that define just-war are by all means not biblical but a set of rules that were created by a monc - a human being. It would be an outline that all humanists might accept which doesn't mean that it is the will of god. The whole rule-set of that monc is still to be interpreted for each situation. Since when does the bible have no specific answer to a question when it comes to how we should behave? To Moran: Well in the old testamony god told people to stone outlaws too. That was the necessary consequence demanded by the law for doing certain sins. Nevertheless has the law lost it's power with the death of Jesus Christ. We no longer have to be stoned if we break our marrige and we no longer have to sacrifice animals after we sinned. The whole topic of wars is not mentioned in the new testamony directly which makes it quite hard for me to get a hold on the whole discussion. |
