Bible Question: What is the proper Christian response in light of Jesus' words to our terrorist enemies? The prevailing mood of revenge doesn't seem to follow this teaching from God, so when we pledge "One nation under God", which God do we mean? |
Bible Answer: Welcome to the forum Donkid ...................... You ask a very difficult question, which gets into the issue of whether it is right for Christians to kill people today. There was, in my opinion, a very good thread discussing this topic a while back. Please do a quick search (top right) for the number 16191 to jump to a post that I made in that thread. To be fair, a minority of the pillars of this forum agree with my perspective on this issue, so I would read the whole thread. |
