Re: Pacifism
My apologies for the delay in response...Life, etc. I found it helpful to understand that non-violence is not inaction. Avoiding reciprocal violence doesn't mean that one does nothing. In fact, love demands action in the cases you list above and others, for both the victim and the aggressor. This ma...

Re: Pacifism
Yet the Centurion found great faith in Christ, but was able to serve a nation who's main purpose was world domination. The story of Cornelius is interesting, as it describes him as a God-fearing, just and upright man working in the Roman army or police, prior to the gospel, but we aren't provided a...

Re: suicide and mental illness
From experience, I would say meds really do not lend themselves to healing since most prevent human emotional responses that should coincide with working out a problem. Positive and negative emotions are blocked. Such as conviction, remorse, hope; all feelings that when felt would lend themselves t...

Re: Pacifism
how can a soldier obey Jesus and perform his duties? (Schoel) “… like any job, we want to do our job with all our might and be the best. Still in the military you can be an influence for: good moral, strong courage, discipline, wisdom, camaraderie, friendship, and prayer with other soldiers” Do wha...

Re: suicide and mental illness
I'll offer my own observations, which are based upon my own close observations and reading. ... Thanks for the feedback... I did not realize that all "happy pills" are not created equal. Based on what you described, some work a little more naturally with the body's chemistry (i.e. allowing more ser...

Re: Pacifism
... Upon coming to Christ, I have became almost a complete pacifist and anti-nationalist. ... Maybe my question should be: How far is a Christian allowed to go to make life on earth as right as it should be?

Re: Pacifism
Questions: How does a follower of Jesus who is a soldier resolve the tension with Jesus' statement to "Love your enemies" (Matt 5:43-48)? Since it is the job of a soldier to fight, kill and destroy the enemies of the government for whom he/she is employed (or provide support services to accomplish t...

Re: suicide and mental illness
My wife (Teresa) and I had a rather spirited discussion about this topic just the other night. While neither she nor I nor any of our kids are on any of these types of medications, she has a sister and a close friend who are. The discussion revolved around her friend, who had a rough childhood with ...
