Subject: Is war biblical? |
Bible Note: Doc, This is one of rhe best responces to this question I've seen in a very long time. Thank you brother. I don't know how many times over the years while I was in the Navy that I would hear that I could not be a Christian and be in the military. They were right about one thing though. I wasn't a Christian, but not because I was in the military. I had just fooled myself into thinking I was. Doc I'm curious though, is this a subject that Spurgeon deals with in any depth. Again thanx brother. In Him, lionheart |
