I condemn Russia's war upon Ukraine. I condemn Hamas' attack upon Israel. I condemn Israel's brutal retaliation upon Gaza. But Putin, Hamas, and Netanyahu don't care what I condemn. If I have any voice at all, it is to a certain segment of Christians. And to them I say this:
Let us ever and always be ambassadors of the Prince of Peace. May we never serve as the religious enablers of tyrants and warmongers. May we never bless war; never call hell holy. May we ever and always seek to embody the peaceable kingdom that Jesus Christ as inaugurated.
@BrianZahnd I hear your points and know Jesus as Prince of Peace and His various words towards this. How do we reconcile Luke 22:38 and Matt 26:52? And ask any Christian or Jewish man if he would defend himself or his family against an attack--mostly likely all would say yes.
@BrianZahnd Israel's response is definitely brutal, but everyone knew it was going to be after what Hamas did, could Israel have been more precise with where it attacked, sure, but we'd still be seeing dead civilians due to the use of human shields by Hamas. Peace is hopefully on the horizon
