If we want to get old testament on folks, sure. Im just going to be plain and honest. I cannot find in the NT where we are taught that we bomb people. We are taught to pray. I hear a lot of stuff on CF about the power of God. If we can trust God with our finances, our health, food and clothing, then why not trust him to protect us? Isn't the answer prayer? Isnt that sound doctrine? Sure we can quote Romans 13, but God never taught us to bear arms,. but to pray and turn the other cheek.
What about prayer though? Is our prayer so ineffective that we must bomb our enemies? Why can we boast about God fixing our finances, and healing our bodies, but we lack faith that He will protect us as well? What kind of faith is this?
God doesn't change. Hes still the avenger and administer of justice. However, we are taught to let God be that avenger. Im not talking about soldiers, im talking about us, the folks who support war. I use to support war, but after i got deeper in the Word, my mind changed.
