Bible Question: If you were drafted into the USA armed forces, would you go to war? |
Bible Answer: Isaiah 2:2-4 makes it clear that under God's kingdom, the nations will not be going to war. It is abundantly clear that left to themselves, the nations will not make this choice, so it is up to us who have dedicated our lives to God to be no part of the world, just as Jesus said at John 17:16. Furthermore, Jesus said that the identifying mark of his TRUE disciples would be the LOVE that they have for one another. (John 13:35) Most of those this nation has killed in wars this century have been of the same professed "Christian" religions. So it is clear that Matthew chapter 7 is in full fulfillment with many claiming to be follows of Christ, yet he does not know them. Jesus' true disciples will NOT take up arms against their brothers nor others who are pawns of Satan's worldly kingdoms. |
