It's just been on the news here that the USA has bombed Kabul , do you think Mr biden checked first to make sure he wasn't bombing any Christians ?

English Sacha I don't believe these men think in that manner, I talked to a veteran out of the gulf war very intelligent that shared with me he was at a meeting where a commanding officer told all the men that the mission they were on was Gods will. The guy I was talking to raised His hand and ask the officer how can he make that statement when there were soldiers there from ten different religious backgrounds and that they are there to do a job and don't involve religion because everybody has there own reason, making a statement like that doesn't justify killing anybody. I thought that was an interesting observation on the veterans part. Just Sharing

Thanks for your reply Rick , I do appreciate it . A lot of people wouldn't have bothered to try to respond to my question , I'm very gratefull that you did . Respect to you in Christ .

Christian Greetings English Sacha, Of interests perhaps. Recently the Selective Service had a meeting with certain leaders within of our Church to help prove whether we are a Peace Church still wanting no part in war activities or a Pacifist Church that wants to refrain from war activities but does not mind political activism. They were interested in what programs our conscription age members do on going as an alternative service for the benefit within US communities as a Peace witness. It is interesting and a blessing that a certain part of this US Government wants to make sure that there is a place for true Peace Churches to practice within this land their beliefs. Surely this is God inspired and we are thankful!

We as a Peace Church believe that non- resistance is a teaching of Christ Jesus that we should follow.

Dear Carleton , that's so good to hear .During ww2 some members of my congregation went to prison because they would not fight , though many others found ways to help without having to be violent or have anything to do with violence . My congregation isn't strictly pacifist , if God told us to fight we absolutely would . We can't just pick and choose which of Christ's teachings we want to adhere to , I know I fail daily but I keep trying and Jesus is very clear about any kind of violence , thankfully we know that because of what Jesus accomplished God will forgive us our tresspasses . Think that might be too many sssss ! Much love in Christ to you and all yours .
