I’m certain that you don’t have access to a nuclear weapon, but are you “armed, ready to kill” @GodsGrace?

A speech that “must never be forgotten.” Have you heard / read the speech @GodsGrace? https://www.plough.com/en/topics/justice/nonviolence/blessing-the-bombs

The co-pilot on the Enola Gay … You’ve inflicted great harm and tremendous suffering on your enemy, Captain Lewis. You’re a national hero. Exactly what Jesus wants his disciples to do and to be known for?

Please see my conversation with @GodsGrace.

I said no to your interpretation.

This thread is about an old Catholic war story (which has become expanded to include Protestants, other wars, and even personal self defense from depraved burglars.) Many here don’t think Catholics are Christian so the fact that tens of thousands of Catholics living in those two Japanese cities...

https://onepeterfive.com/the-bombing-of-japanese-catholicism/ More Catholics were killed at Nagasaki than at Hiroshima but Catholics / Christians were killed (by Christians) in both cities. “Do no harm“ wasn’t written on either of the nuclear weapons.

These are a couple of effective but not too graphically explicit photographs (from Hiroshima) that I can think of to provide. * This is “penny ante” level of harmful compared to what man is capable of doing now. * This isn’t “DO NO HARM”. This is “DO MASSIVE HARM”.

All will one day be called upon to answer to Jesus. *** Jesus: “You killed some of my disciples. Why?” Christian: “It’s okay ... um, ‘okay’ isn’t the word I’m looking for. You ‘commanded’ me to kill your disciples if they lived in a kingdom or nation that was at war with the kingdom or...

It‘s a little known fact that Jesus and the apostles enlisted in the Roman army. Or was it the navy? Well, either way, they served Rome by recruiting disciples for the pagan government’s military that persecuted them.

Thanks. There were other relevant points in the post. (Which is why I didn’t just delete it.) What action, specifically? Knowing that there is no guarantee that any action would prevent you and or your family from being killed or severely injured. The next two verses explain why he told them...

My apologies. I just now saw your post. I would do something. Love is action, not inaction. What I wouldn’t do is kill my enemy. How many people did the apostles kill with their two swords?

No I didn’t. You read something into my post that isn’t there. That’s right. I protect myself by relying on God and Messiah. Everyone who belongs to the Messiah should. I did. That’s not what you asked me. You’re rationalizing killing your enemy (you’re now avoiding the warfare of...

Jesus’ war against the Romans failed because …

Love your enemies. He practiced what he preached. I have. I have.

I’m a conscientious objector. Whatever a church might say about it, the US government recognizes and honors it. I would be a CO even if the US government didn’t recognize and honor it.

Very good. Killing our enemies does great harm to them. That’s not what Jesus did. That’s not what Jesus taught.

https://apholt.com/2016/05/26/apology-for-the-fourth-crusade/ I will applaud the pope for this.

This thread is specifically about the Crusades, and that Catholic history is being (mis)used to support Christian participation in nations (which are not the kingdom of God) killing their enemies in other nations. Start here. Christians killing fellow Christians is an absolute abomination...
