Jesus speaks of loving our neighbors and our enemies. How does war fit into that equation. I’m not even going to bother talking about current wars, but I have been thinking of our past wars, the ones that we have some hindsight on. For instance, the Revolutionary War, should Christians have actually taken lives of others to defend ‘God given rights?’ America claims to be a nation “under God” but we are one founded on a violent uprising against another nation who also believed had God’s interests in mind. How is this violence justified?
