Peace project for school

[Danfrey]

I just finished a class on html with a college in California. I chose a bit of a contraversial subject, but it was well recieved by my classmates. I have included the link below if anyone is interested in seeing it.

“An unjust peace is better than a just war.” Marcus Tullius Cicero

“Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.” Martin Luther King, Jr.

“Would we send our daughters off to have sex if it would benefit our country? Yet, we send our sons off to kill when we think it would benefit our country.” Leonard Ravenhill

Great quotes, and a really good website.

Though his enemies were able to take his physical life

His enemies (us) didn't take his life--he gave it to them (us).

Thanks

The Leonard Ravenhill quote is my favorite.

That's a good one for sure.

That used to be an acceptable means of defeating an enemy, by the way. If the enemy was camping nearby, men would send their wives or daughters out to seduce the men, then when the men fell asleep afterwards, the girls would kill them. The so-called Book of Judith recounts such an episode.

That's largely why I don't believe the book of Judith belongs in the Bible, God would never use illicit sex to defeat an enemy. He won't reward or even condone that which he has already condemned.

That practice has gone by the wayside because it is considered vile and immoral, but for some reason, people hold onto the idea that violence is a much more godly response to an enemy.
