War and Peace (Part 2)

Toward a Radically Christian CountercultureSteve Gregg
In this discussion, Steve Gregg explores the Christian attitude toward war and addresses the hard ethical issues surrounding the matter. He argues that the choice to participate in wars is not simply a matter of justice, and that Christians should not gravitate towards participant aspects of belief towards war. Gregg suggests that loyalty lies in citizenship of heaven and that Christians should act as peacemaking ambassadors, viewing the Old Testament understanding of warfare as a legitimate activity for believers, but not necessarily appropriate for Christians in modern times.
