Subject: As Christians what is our role in war |
Bible Note: John, Thank you for this reply and the heart with which it was written. It wasn't so much that I was offended. Being offended wasn't my issue here, please believe that. 1 Timothy 4:16 tells us to watch our life and doctrine closely. As Christians it's so easy to cut our noses off to spite our faces and we tend to do it even more than we ourselves care to admit. People will read us oft times before they ever pick a Bible. So with scriptures like 2 Timothy 2:15, 3:15-17, and 2 Peter 1:20,21 in mind we must realise the importance of these scriptures when it comes to what we teach and believe. Matthew 28:18-20 is requisite on all who are disciples of Jesus Christ and I am encouraged to see your heart in regards to that. In Him, lionheart |
