Must some of us burn in hell, so others can live

[Cantankeros josh]

Alright this question has been plaguing me for a while, i've been thinking about joining the army for a while, so say they do ship me off, i end up in a warzone and well have to kill people, and thus i sin.

So here in my question lie's, what about the soldiers fighting in all the vairous was through history, while they were fighting for a good reason, they all still sinned and thus were doomed to hell.

So if i give my life to defend us, does this really just mean another in the pit.

It's not a sin to kill infidelic pagan scum.
Nor is it a sin to be a soldier.

Luke 3:14
" And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages."

Luke 7:8-9
"For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel."

Romans 13:3-4
"For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil."

I myself is in the army and i consider myself a christian and have seen the light.

I take pride in my craft! Going on my third tour to afghanistan i can tell you i want nothing more than to help the people over there to find our saviour!

You will not burn, correct a sinner if i might be wrong brothers and sisters (if I may be so bold to call you fine people that), if you kill the scum that has not our Lord and Saviour in his or her heart!!

Fight the good fight!!

No worries. There's plenty of evidence in the bible that you can kill sinners and believers of false religions. Heres a few quotes from the King James Bible.

Exodus 22:19
He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed.

2 Chronicles 15:13
That whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.

Deuteronomy 13:15
Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants (that serves other gods) of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword.

Deuteronomy 13:9
But thou shalt surely kill him (who says: "go and serve other gods"); thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.

As I said; you have absolutely no reason to be worried - Kill all you want, as long as you do it in the name of God the Almighty.

I direct your attention to the book of Exodus, the lessons of which are repeated throughout the Bible. God gave the Jews the Promised Land. He not only allowed, but DIRECTED them to slaughter everyone except virgins, which they could take for their own pleasure. Yes, this includes women, children, babies, the disabled, whatever.

Has America, THE Christian nation not, through Manifest Destiny, also been given the right to defend ourselves and lay claim to Jesus' land? And, incidentally, take the spoils of war? It's oil instead of virgins, but the principle is the same. (And who would want to contend with the thick wall of funk that would come billowing out from under the hot black sticky mooslim things those women wear, marinating their juices in 120-degree heat?.)

If it really bothers you, heck, ask for forgiveness as insurance but it's really not necessary.
