“I don’t think God wants to give us a class and nine point notes ...”

Just what do you think the Bible is? I ask a legitimate question to get opinions...I kind of got yours, but I am focusing more on our own government rather than Islams...

So, in your opinion...if you will, what do you think about what the limits are to disobedience to man relative to God’s laws? Is there a case for moral violence? Such as World War ll for example...

I believe God is a warring God ... the OT certainly is full of it ... always Him against His enemies (using men)

That being said, I believe the principle of warfare is still valid and apropos today (WW2, f'rinstance ... and others)

I think if people are lied to, and led to believe they are Godly justified to kill another (warfare), there is no blood on their hands


Ezekial 3:16 - 21

16And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
17Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
18When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
19Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
20Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
21Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.


We don't have much in that nine point outline but we DO have for ensample God's Word.
