Bible Question:
I have a big debate going on another yahoo group re: the 2nd Amendment.....can you find me any Bible references (quotes) that say its OK with my Savior that weapons be used in time of war?? We all know that our Constitution is based on the Bible. There must be something!! HELP!!!! |
Bible Answer: Dear Norrie, I do not know of any particular statement in the Bible that says weapons may be used. However, it was never condemned in a war situation. Abraham brought in an army of his servants to rescue Lot and the king of Sodom and all who were with them, when they were taken captive by opposing kings [Gen. 14]; all through the book of Joshua; on and off all through the Book of Judges; Moses, whereby God told Joshua and Caleb to hold Moses' arms up during the battle (which was not waged with fists alone); and in the Gospels, nothing was ever said against being in the profession of a centurion. I hope this is helpful to you - Itiswritten |
