A draft is biblical.

Where does Jesus advocate a draft? Please give me chapter and verse. Jesus is my Lord and Savior. If you're talking Biblical, He's the Authority I look to.

Sorry, my speel cheker screwed up.


A draft is certainly UNbiblical. According to OT law, those who had no stomach for fighting were excused from war.

Deuteronomy 20

4 For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory."

5 The officers shall say to the army: "Has anyone built a new house and not dedicated it? Let him go home, or he may die in battle and someone else may dedicate it.

6 Has anyone planted a vineyard and not begun to enjoy it? Let him go home, or he may die in battle and someone else enjoy it.

7 Has anyone become pledged to a woman and not married her? Let him go home, or he may die in battle and someone else marry her."

8 Then the officers shall add, "Is any man afraid or fainthearted? Let him go home so that his brothers will not become disheartened too."

9 When the officers have finished speaking to the army, they shall appoint commanders over it.
