Subject: Christ and war |
Bible Note: Thank you for your reply. Truly your testimonies of God working through man's atrocities are encouraging, for "...we know that all things work together for good to those who have been called according to his purpose."(Rom 8:28) I did not necessarily mean Christians "should protest in the streets", although I guess that is exactly what I said. I will be more careful in the future. My mistake. What I should have said is I would think we would find Christians taking an anti-war position and, as a major constituent to Bush's policies, voice our opinion to him. I do not doubt that these things (wars and rumors of wars) must come to pass, but I do question whether or not we as Christians should rally behind a Christian man who(who receives much money from the Christian Coalition) who hastily leads a Christian nation to war against a country who has not attacked us or anyone else. |
