What Does The Bible Say About War? by OLAADEGBU(m): 8:29pm On Nov 19, 2015 |
What does the Bible say about war? Does the Bible condemn or condone war? Under what circumstances is it right for one nation to go war against another? How should Christians respond to armed conflict? |

Bible causes War. God cursed satan, the snake to always remain as the downfall of man in any conflict. God didn't stop Cain from killing Abel but just settled them in His own way. Principally, the book of Genesis16:12 established serious conflict between Ishmael and Isaac, without directing anyone of them on how such conflict should stop. It simply instructed them to fight on and revenge on without ceasing. Instances abound in the Bible in which God Himself caused the wars with the Amorites, Amelekites etc. Even in the NT, God clearly implies that Light must always conflict with darkness and good with evil. Whenever you know what you are fighting for, just go ahead and fight. But, as a good Israelite or Christian, you must seek the authority and approval of God in Prayers before you fight. God likes conflicts, armed or just hostile wars among His creatures, but establishes Prayers to make humans reason to look up to Him for settlement. And so, Nigerians must Pray nationwide to destroy their enemies, such as, bokoharam insurgency, Fulani herdsmen's complicity, biafran's agitation and trouble shooting, the plan of the West to distabilise Africa from Nigeria etc, within and without our boundaries. So help us God. Amen. |

orisa37: The first religion was started by Adam. Adam blamed Eve, Eve blamed the serpent and the serpent had no leg to stand on. The Vatican has shed the blood of more than 50 million Christians for translating, reading or possessing the Bible. orisa37: There is nothing new under the sun. The ungodly will always be in conflict with the godly. Cain against Abel, Lot in conflict with Abraham, Ishmael against Isaac, Esau against Jacob, Joseph's brothers against him, Israel in conflict with their enemy nations, the religious against Christians. But we know that all things work together for believers' good. orisa37: We are enjoined to fight the good fight of faith, to contend for the faith which was once delivered and not be contentious about the faith. orisa37: That is why the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds, casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. |

OLAADEGBU: Suggested answers: Many people make the mistake of reading what the Bible says in Exodus 20:13, "You shall not kill," and then seeking to apply this command to war. However, the Hebrew word literally means "the intentional, premeditated killing of another person with malice; murder." God often ordered the Israelites to go to war with other nations (1 Samuel 15:3; Joshua 4:13). God ordered the death penalty for numerous crimes (Exodus 21:12, 15; 22:19; Leviticus 20:11). So, God is not against killing in all circumstances, but only murder. War is never a good thing, but sometimes it is a necessary thing. In a world filled with sinful people (Romans 3:10-18), war is inevitable. Sometimes the only way to keep sinful people from doing great harm to the innocent is by going to war. http://www.gotquestions.org/war-Bible.html |
