Draft

Glad that turned out to be a possible misunderstanding sis @Nancy. I have a close relative just like that. Sometimes her news gets me on edge...

I know you are Canadian, at the moment joining the Armed Services is voluntary, but if made mandatory in case of war, then I think it's every American's duty to serve their Country.

Would you have me kill fellow Christians living in other countries in warfare?

What must Jesus think about his followers killing one another, and others, in service to the kingdoms of this world?

Mine will be a minority opinion: Christians are to serve the nations we live in without inflicting violence on ourselves or others.

I received information this week about a pastor who is a colleague of mine. He has been drafted. He’s a conscientious objector and he’s in serious trouble with the government. Where he lives, conscientious objectors aren’t tolerated. I’m not sure if he’s been imprisoned yet or not. He may be executed.

He lives and works in Russia.

Sorry to hear this Matthias.

Sorry to hear this Matthias.

He’s determined to act with the courage of his conviction. He will be persecuted. (He was before receiving the draft notice.) He may be martyred. He’s prepared for both.

I’m praying for him.

I cannot even imagine facing off against a brother in Christ on a field of battle.

My brother may kill me but I will not take up arms against him.

Lol Angelina, I love her dearly but I need to stop getting caught up in her sensationalism!
She is wrong on these kinds of things pretty much al the time but then, she say's "better safe than sorry"!

Oh Lord help this man and his family!

I call it, "getting caught in their orbit" it can get stressful at times, double checking is always a good idea though
