Subject: As Christians what is our role in war |
Bible Note: I would say to look at Eccl. 3:1-9. In Mt.24:6, Luke 21:9, The Lord knows there will be wars. I believe those in Kuwait were glad we showed up for Desert Storm. I think a country must protect itself, and those who cannot. As a Christian, I have fought in wartime, and if need be, I would do it again. It would not make me less of a Christian. However, the war crimes (murder,rape) is not a necessity for combat at any level. Shalom, michael |
