For the first three centuries or so, Christians refused to arm and they did no harm to their enemies. They can for that reason be thought of as conscientious objectors. The Catholic Church has a Feast Day for Conscientious Objectors, November 11. The patron Saint for conscientious objectors is...

My X / Twitter “For you” feed wanted me to see this tonight - https://x.com/scribbledscrips/status/2001623488646303935?s=61 Are trinitarian members good with it or have an issue with it?

Ken Ham addresses the scenario and comes close to expressing your perspective. There might not be anything that could be said that would persuade Porphyry.

You asked me that question in post #635. I replied in post #637 - “No. I acknowledge that he will do what God has appointed him to do.” How many people, in addition to yourself, if asked, do you think would say that’s not a direct answer?
