The_Biblical_Perspective_Of_War

The Biblical Perspective Of War The Biblical Perspective of War As a member of the reserve military and a Christian, I have often wrestled with the concept of having to take the life of another man in war. Naturally I assumed that I was doing wrong by serving in an organization designed to break God’s fifth commandment, “Thou shalt not kill.” It has only been recently that I have truly explored this issue from the Biblical perspective. Through this process I found that there are many more ethical and moral issues outside of religion regarding war such as, conduct, justification, and responsibility. Inside the Christian religion there are numerous scriptural references as well as many theological opinions. At the highest and most broad level are the general ethical perspectives. Adding in the biblical perspective the issue becomes more intricate and it becomes more concrete in the context of clarity. Though the Christian doctrine is subject to the interpretation of man, the ideology is more consistent across the board than is the general moral perspective of the world.
