greenpasture:Nice one, bruh. But, hey, you're talking from an Old testament perspective. I believe Christians are not under the old Law? You guys are committed to the new covenant, which promotes unconditional Love, Pacifism, turning the other cheek and all that. God, in his Jesus persona, is not the brutal God of war he used to be way back in the old days. Jesus Christ's message is all about love, love and love, and how to wallow in uninhibited emotionalism, enduring persecution and hate, and reaching out to one's enemies with love, kindness and a pure heart. This is what Jesus preached. If you're gonna endorse the Old Testament, you'll have to approve of it in its entirety, without cherry picking or making any arbitrary exceptions. Then, all the blashphemy laws and commandments for killing and all that, become applicable in this day and age, and all the punishments to be meted out against all those who breach any of the commandments become obtainable. Christianity would then be indistinguishable from Islam. What then would be the point of Christ's crucifixion, since nothing would have changed? If you agree that Christ preached LOVE for your enemies, how can you claim, in the same breath, that he permits you to kill them? Do you kill people you love? |

oglalasioux:very wrong. There's no where in d bible where it is written to kill those who don't share the same opinion with us.. No where... Blasphemy everywhere |

OOOS: I don't know about some of you. But with my experience Christianity comes with a lot of mind/spirit convictions one of Which is to not carry arms against your enemies. Anybody can be anything but at the end, it is their adherence to principles or not that proves where they really belong. True, a nation must have armies, but trust me no child of God will be part of it for reasons well known Soldiers serve a good purpose. They fight for the nation and secure territories. And do they deserve prayers? yes because they are instruments of God too. When they are hit, they show no mercy but fight back. A Christian who has the conviction of God will not have the heart to do same. Like Christ he is full of mercy and leaves vengeance for God. The real question you should be asking is: Do I trust God or my sword |

dallyemmy: Please read again in NLT. John did not say to the soldier to leave or resign his job. He acknowledged the soldier but instruct him to be just in his dealings. |

princetom1: Not true. You can't practice the total.pacifism thought by Jesus. No body even takes it seriously. We live among christians. We do t see any of them practicing it because it impossible and nonsensical. |
Re: When Are christians Permitted to KILL and Can A Christian Be A Soldier? by Trudiee(f): 1:48pm On Feb 05, 2017 |
so let me get this straight.. you guys are saying killing is not permitted in the bible? and that Jesus did not give is permission to kill. alright. agreed. now let me ask. you as a good Christian, ure on ur way home late in the evening and someone attacks u. u can defend urself o but u allow ur self to be killed. what does that make u? the moslems that are killing off christians.. i guess ure supposed to just fold ur arms and let them slaughter you right? Jesus said.. Be meek as a lamb but wise as a serpent. yes! its in the Bible. Heaven helps those who help themselves. mind you, I'm not saying go into the world and kill.. nah. killing is WRONG. |

joyeSeraph: I am sorry, I am not of the school that divides the Bible into two. I believe that the Torah and the Gospels are one whole and that the Gospels illuminate the intent and purpose of the Torah but do not cancel it. You can call them lyrics and music. That's why I began in what you termed the old testament and ended with " new testament" quotations. In any case I gave two references from what you called the New Testament; one from Jesus himself and the other from Paul to the Romans. Maybe you should address those. The Bible is a single unfolding story. Not two. Do note my use of the word " unfolding" |
