Re: Countries We Should Nuke?
Thank you for the clear reply.
First of all, I agree with Bobby Joe that Christians shouldn't kill anyone. Therefore, I think the title of this thread should not be as such. The title promotes that Christians should nuke countries and engage in violence themselves (assuming that the "we" the author of this thread has used is a pronoun for "Christians").
Another that concerns me is that if I pay for someone to kill, isn't that still against my conscience as I had hated and planned to kill someone, even if he is an evil person? God sees what is in our hearts and violence is not one of things I would not want to be seen carrying inside me.
I have more concerns about this subject. Before I state my opinion, I respectfully would like to say that the Bible does not ever contradict itself and neither I am trying to stumble anyone in their faith. I simply want to understand God's word, which as a mortal I may not grasp its full glory but nevertheless I am striving to learn and understand.
Now my other concern is for the text where Jesus says explicitly to love thy enemy. Also, was it not true that God should be the judge to everyone outside the congregation and we are to limit judgement inside the congregation? I do not have the scriptures' book, chapter and verses in hand but I am willing to look for it and post it here if needed.
