Bible Note: Has anyone here ever served in the Armed Forces? Has anyone here ever fought in an actual war (World War II, Korea, Vietnam, etc.)? If so, what do you veterans think? If a soldier lies to the enemy in the line of duty in order to protect the lives of himself or others, is he sinning? What do you all think is more urgent -- dying and taking pride in the fact that you didn't lie OR the survival of your fellow soldiers or civilians? Why would you feel obligated to tell the enemy everything you know? Also, the idea of sacrificing the lives of innocent women and children so you can boast of your sinlessnesss doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I'm not talking about situational ethics. I'm talking about what has more value -- your pride in your rigid obedience to the letter of the law or the lives of innocent people? Man was not made for the Law; but the Law was made for man. |
