Bible Note: Hey Jeff, I like the train of thought: justification, but does justification make it right? How can one justify taking a life in war? I don't know that answer... I guess that will be left to the individual and his judge. To be honest with you I hope it doesn't matter... once repented for and changed I'm sure it doesn't, anyway... Still, Jesus is the answer... Not that his personality has changed... God has been forgiving to those who love Him since the beginning, but the children of Israel denied him and his teaching, so he adopted Gentiles, while still giving them the same benefit if they only will repent and accept Jesus for who he is. I know it sounds silly, but what would Jesus do? Remember the woman who was to be stoned? "So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her." John8:7 Forgive... Eternity in torment if he loves him? Choice... the power of election... the gift he gave us that he gave no other creation. The Kingdom of Heaven is very much like a driver's license and spandex... it's a privilege you have to make yourself ready for, not a right. Question for you... Do you think Christians have the right to judge? even if that "certain law" has been broken, or not? zoe |
