Still not the issue. We’re not talking spirituality, but if you wanna go there, let’s go there.
How about all the Bible believing federals in the late 1800s that wiped out all the Indians? They believed, correctly, I might add, that Christ is their Lord and Savior. Bible says, a bunch of times, that as long as that’s in your heart, you’re going to heaven. These guys killed dozens and dozens in the service of their government (render unto Caesar). According to the Bible, they went to heaven.
“Still not the issue”
Yes it is. Western law is based on the ten commandments/natural law. It may have taken a while, but it is generally accepted that invading another sovereign country to take its land and resources is not Christ like and not acceptable to nations proclaiming to be “Christian”. I find it interesting that on one hand I hear that Russia is the only “Christian” nation but yet its aggression is defended as a “might makes right” activity straight out of Nietzsche, who was no friend of Christ. Might makes right is also very Nazi too...

What about them? It was unChristian to do that.
“as long as that’s in your heart, you’re going to heaven.”
I wont defend the errors of Protestantism.
