war is ok
Korea has test missles and I need to address this tonight. I do think we have the right to invade this land and end its communist government. I do not see any good in this land and we need to stop them right now and right here. Goverments have the right to defend people. It is defending people to take out a land that is not doing as the world asks. This leads into a bible thing and Is Jesus anti war?
1 God has commanded war at times in the bible. He told Joshua to kill every body in the promised land. Jesus is the God that told them to kill everyone. God does use war to punish people. Jesus never said not to go to war. Matter of fact he said in the end there are going to be wars and rumors of wars. If it was the demand of God not to allow war then we would not be the land we are. Yet some think war was wrong because it was rebelling to not pay tax to the king of the people. God used war to show his judgement on sinner and I think he uses it today to judge. Muslims that want to kill are ok in my mind to go to war and kill them. God used war in the bible to make his plans go forth and I think the wars today are all from a God that uses them for his glory.
Here are some passages that show why I think this way
2 Sam 35 He teaches my hands to make war,
So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.[1]
God teaches war.
Jug 2 414 And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel. So He delivered them into the hands of plunderers who despoiled them; and He sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, so that they could no longer stand before their enemies.[2]
God uses it to judge people
2 For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem;
The city shall be taken,
The houses rifled,
And the women ravished.
Half of the city shall go into captivity,
But the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city.[3]
Jer 6 24 We have heard the report of it;
Our hands grow feeble.
Anguish has taken hold of us,
Pain as of a woman in labor.
25 Do not go out into the field,
Nor walk by the way.
Because of the sword of the enemy,
Fear is on every side.
26 O daughter of my people,
Dress in sackcloth
And roll about in ashes!
Make mourning as for an only son, most bitter lamentation;
For the plunderer will suddenly come upon us.[4]
War is evil
Jesus used war as a figure of speech. It was ok for us to learn from war
Luke 14 31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? 32 Or else, while the other is still a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks conditions of peace. 33 So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.[5]
I am not saying war is a good thing. WAR IS NOT GOOD AND IT ALWAYS CREATES BAD THINGS. HOWEVER IT SOMETIMES IS NEEDED AND WE USE IT WHEN IT IS RIGHT
