Subject: why join army? |
Bible Note: Governments are Biblically responsible to provide protection for the people and the land on which they live, and to see justice is fair and right. In order to protect the citizens and the land of the country there has to be a group established to do that assignment. Call the group what you will, bet it Army or whatever. When prottection is needed often attacks come and a fight or war is the result and protection requires some to give their life while defending a countries rights. War is fearful, and those who are defending the country must face the fear of death or injury. There is no such thing as a holy war, but at least on the side of justice, there is a just war. There is a Biblical difference between murder and killing someone to defend basic human God given rifgts. We are to obey our leaders, and should we be given a task that is not in keeping with Biblical teaching, we must stand firm at whatever costs. I remind you that if those brave men and women were not willing to face the fear of war in WW II we just might be controled today by Germany or Japan. Many, many gave their life and carry the wounds they received, to this very day. I personally am a one hundred percent service connected US Veteran. For more than 39 years I have lived with major health issues due to a war we lost. I would do it all over again to assure we stay free. So in a very direct way I disagree with your wrong understanding of what the Bible says about a just war. justme |
