Subject: As Christians what is our role in war |
Bible Note: Brad my point for asking this question is because I have trouble with a Christian view that thinks we should shoot our enemies rather than pray for them. I don't think that anyone should tell another Christian to kill someone else no matter what they have done, as this places us in judgement of others. I believe that this is a study of scripture as Jesus tells us in Matt 5v38-39 not to take an eye for an eye but to turn the other cheek. God bless John D |
