What Does God Say About Self-Defense and Just War
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We follow the news and hear about the start of a new war. We hear about a mass shooting or a person being attacked. Our first reaction is to justify a violent response either to an injustice or to defend or condemn an aggressive country. What does God say about a violent response? Jesus told the person to turn the other cheek and not to retaliate with violence. What if your life is threatened or a country is defending itself? Is violence justifiable? We are going to talk about what God says about just war and self-defense. Thank you for listening.
