Christian Perspective
I think it depends on point of war. Most wars are not good from Christian perspective though we should always try to avoid any wars whether they have a good cause or not.
Human perspective
Fight to the Death!!!!!and keep fighting!!!!

(Yes, I realize I am (a) paraphrasing and (b) not citing verses, but you all have concordances and can do your own research!)
I find nothing in the New Testament to support war; therefore there is no support for it from a Christian perspective.
Anyone who says otherwise is mistaken. Not according to me, but according to The One. So if you do not agree with the word of God, take it up with Him, do not argue with me.
I do realize this world does not operate in the will of the Divine all the time and because of human conflict we will have wars. Some of these will be (relatively speaking) "just" wars and others will be most decidedly unjust. But since all such definitions are arbitrarily determined by human values, I question the veracity of all of them. |

Isn’t your claim rather arrogant? Just because you don’t see any justification, you insist there isn’t any.

Wow! You are so confident of your own opinion that you don’t even want to listen to or discuss possible alternatives! |
