Bible Question (short): Does God Condone War Now? |
Question (full): Seeing as how these men all qonquered kingdoms at either the commands of God, or in an effort to keep Israel intact as the choosen people of God, how is it that we are saying that war is all right today? God has not come and commanded us directly to fight anyone now? I see a lot of "problems" all ready with what I have asked, but that is okay, because the whole thing is a "problematic". Some don't see it that way, they see it as cut and dry - as that God allows or endorses war to save countries from destruction today, they use Romans 13, they use a lot of scriptures, many of which have more to do with submitting to evil governments than the "preservation" of "good ones", as if there are any nations that God does not now consider to be evil. The New Jerusalem is not here yet, the millenium has not come yet, there are no "good nations" yet in my estimation, there are worse ones and better ones, but not "good ones". blessings abound, bowler |
