War - A Christian Perspective (Part 2)
Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg examines war from a Christian perspective and argues that war is inherently sinful for all parties involved. Aligning oneself with or against certain nations in conflict is problematic since Christians cannot determine God's intentions for a nation's involvement in a war. Christian pacifism is often misunderstood and unsupported by invalid arguments. Christians are encouraged to engage in spiritual warfare, put their faith in Jesus, and trust in God's protection rather than relying on military might. In general, the values of the kingdom of God should guide a Christian's perspective on war and conflict.
