Bible Question (short): Verses that support military service? |
Question (full): I am curious about military service in times of war, as a christian. I have been shown several passages that support service, and have been given many opinions (sometimes linked to a verse, usually the commandments, or "turn the other cheek") that denounce that service, both views towards service in actual combat. In particular, I am looking for the supportive verses, but I am open to seeing both supportive and negative views. |
