Subject: How do we respond to war as Christians? |
Bible Note: Tim, Before my statement I did a clarification that If you find the word "war is evil" in the bible you never find it. But to define it we can define that war is evil. Tim to simplify the issue. 1.For me really war is evil, my question to you now tim is what really the root why we wars? Do you think it is not becuase of Evil? It is right God commanded Israel to go to war, because there is evil behind thier enemies. Those people that trying to invade Israel are idols worshipers. But if there is no evil do you think those people will do war against Israel? If there is evil behind wars, meaning war is evil! Because I dont think there is war if there is no evil behind it. 2. If there is no evil, who do you think will go to war to protect themeselves to any invader or will try to invade Israel, so do you think God will still commanded Israel to go war without an enemy? 3. If there is no evil, who do you think will put to hitler an evil heart to kill 6 million innocent people? do you think it is God? I dont think God still create wars if there is no Evil. Meaning behind every wars there is evil. Because if there is no evil Im sure there is no war. That is the reason that my difinition of war is evil. Your are right! We cannot find a single word in the bible that "war is evil" but you can define it, becuase if there is no evil, we all sure there is no war. And I am really sure that God will not create any wars against anyone! I sure He will not happy watching His people killing each other and He is the one Behind those wars! otherwise He is a crazy god. God bless, Johnny God bless, Johnny |
