Hello Everyone
What I learnt from today's topic
Topic: What the Bible say about serving in the military.
The military is a collectively armed forces organization of any nation Democratic or monarchy as protection of lives,a and properties.
It is also the symbol of freedom, peace and human rights.
Some people have wrong impression of the military as an organization of killers and murders People say Christians cannot not enter the military because they will be made to kill....but No! that is foolish and shortsightedness
There are people who are shortsighted
2 Peter 1:8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Peter 1:9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
According to the verse he that lacketh wisdom is blind... shortsighted
Some people see the military only to kill...No...the opposite is the correct one military is the protection of lives and property...if u have to kill to protect another live that shouldn't be a crime, a military is a caretaker of lives and property.
Although our hands cannot kill, but our hands can make gadgets to protect our lives.
Luke 3:14 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages. The verse says we must not kill, we must not provoke violence but if there are killers around it is not ur intention to kill but to protect lives, property and the society. The military are advised to be sharp shooters instead of killers.
Every creature living on Earth has the right to defend himself. Self defense is an inborn right of every living organism. the Bible do not prohibit anybody from being a soldier
Thank you
