The leger emphasises that peace is Gods go away, as exemplified by the Messianic divination of Isaiah 2:4 They will beat their swords into ploughshares and their spears into pruning hooks. body politic will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war any more. Jesus taught in Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be c completelyed sons of God. In Matthew 5:39 he urges his followers Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, routine to him the other also and in 5:43-44. You have perceive that it was said, `Love your neighbour...Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. These passages naturally lead to the marvel whether Christians should oppose all wars, or if not, which wars would meet with their approval. I am going to expound the so-called just war principle to try to clarify this point, and apply it to the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
1 Does the Bible condone war?
The Old Testament is replete with references to war, notably the invasion of Canaan, with the Lords approval. See Joshua 11:20 Joshua taked war against all these kings for a long time..... it was the Lord himself who hardened their hearts to wage war against Israel, so that he might destroy them totally, exterminating them without mercy, as the Lord had commanded Moses While these appear to justify war, the condition is a very specific one. Israel was Gods Holy Nation and was waging war infra Gods explicit command, to fulfil his purpose of punishing the sin of the Canaanites. No nation has this status nowadays.
Equally, the war that Christ leads in manifestation 19 is a very specific conflict of favourable and evil which is not comparable with earthly conflicts.
Ecclesiastes 3:1...
Due to inconvenient line-breaks, this paper is awkward to read on the site--if you download it its frequently easier to skim through.
The papers pretty decent and parallels the Bibles justifications for war as compared with the slip of paper for a just war in Iraq. The author concludes in spite of a number of possible just causes, the fundamental also-ran of justification lies in the fact it was a preemptive strike.
