I trust God is able to stop the Nazi war machine without Christians killing to avenge evil. Christians are called to different from the world. Peace to you

This isn’t about what the state does in enforcing laws. The issue is how Christians should follow the example given to us by God, as clearly explained in 1 Timothy, to show mercy toward the worst of sinners, even murderers like Paul. Very tough to follow this teaching. Few, imo, can separate...

Christians were not under obligation by God to “stop” Hitler by violence. Peace to you

Christians are not commanded to avenge evil. If you can show me scripture that commands Christians to avenge evil, I’ll change my mind. God has stated “vengeance is Mine”, and never repay evil for evil. Peace to you

I never said what God is doing is wrong. You misunderstand my position. God has often used ungodly men, and their wars, to bring judgment upon nations. God doesn’t need Christian’s to be involved in wars or the killing that accompanied it. Another example is the death penalty. God allows the...

I have no idea what you are talking about. Ok, Proverbs 21:1 has nothing to do with Christians and whether they should support war today Ok, agreed There is plenty of scripture to support Christians not going to war Agreed, when based on scripture. Peace to you

Then the U.S. becomes the world policeman, because those powerless to defend themselves from ruthless rulers will never cease to exist. Peace to you

Please provide scripture to support your statement. Peace to you

Well, yes there is a big difference now. Christians are not chosen by God to inhabit a particular land. We are strangers in a foreign land, wayfarers, sojourners. Our kingdom is in heaven, not on the earth. We are salt and light, a force for peace and godliness. Peace to you

I don’t think we should wage war at all. Let’s work it out with diplomacy. Peace to you

Harry Truman dropped an A-Bomb on two Japanese cities, killing hundreds of thousands of civilians. I know there were military operations there, but civilians nevertheless. Do you think Japan surrendered because of the loss of military production? Russia starved 20 million Ukrainians to death...

I struggle with the self defense argument. If it’s violence toward me because of the cause of Christ, I would hope to maintain the example of our Lord and all the martyred saints of not responding with violence. If it’s an issue of my family being threatened, I believe I would do everything...

Wars have always targeted civilians and always will. Peace to you

Many disagree that killing is acceptable for Christians. Peace to you

Just too early. Probably someone not on the radar just yet Peace to you

Christians have debated whether they should fight as soldiers (or fight at all) since the beginning of the church and especially when Roman soldiers began to be converted. To answer directly, yes there is “just war”. Whether Christians should be involved in the killing is another debate...

I don’t think DT would try it. He has been vindicated by winning a second term and much of his agenda is getting passed this time, despite two assassination attempts, non stop hyperbolic rhetoric of every thing he says or does, and deep state of judges challenging everything. I suspect he...

My mind is always open to scripture, not the vain false teaching of men. You are in continuous error because your preconceived bias prevents you from understanding God’s Word in the context it was written. You take a verse here or there, manipulate and change the very words of our Lord Jesus...

Please show me from the passage where Jesus says the reason they were not “of My Sheep” because they were not open to God’s Word? Jesus very clearly stated His sheep hear His voice and follow Him. They are His sheep before they hear His voice because He calls them by name. Jesus does not...

So.. AGAIN… @Van changes the Words of our Lord Jesus to fit his beliefs. Jesus gave the reason for their unbelief.. they were not of His sheep. This OP literally changes the words of our Lord Jesus claiming the reason for unbelief is closed mindedness… a modern secular terminology. Beware the...
