Matthew records Jesus saying, “Put your sword back in its place; for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.” This is hardly a ringing endorsement for war.
After posting a video of a young recruit talking to the camera about how service allows him to better himself “as a man and a warrior”, the US Army tweeted, “How has serving impacted you?” As of this writing, the post has over 5,300 responses. Most of them are heartbreaking.
The response “The Disciple Who Never Was” was overwhelmingly positive – except for the guy who called me a clown. He said I made Jesus a “fairy-dust tossing pacifist. I thought I would share his comment and my response.
You can’t make a disciple of a man you just shot. You can’t make a disciple out of a woman killed by a Hellfire Missile. You can’t make a disciple out of a child who starves to death in the midst of America’s wars.
What is the truth about America’s wars?
Does following Christ involve rejecting violence?
If Jesus guides our feet on the path of peace, how can we revel in war?
In this episode of the GodArchy podcast, I make the antiwar case from both a Christian and libertarian perspective.
