The world has already been saved from war. The question is how Christians can and should live in a world of war as a people who believe that war has been abolished.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I do not want to convince Christians to work for the abolition of war, but rather I want us to live recognizing that in the cross of Christ, war has been abolished.
My way of putting it is that Christians are called to live nonviolently not because we believe nonviolence is a strategy to rid the world of war, but in a world of war as faithful followers of Christ, we cannot imagine being anything other than nonviolent.
War is something of man's own fostering, and if all mankind renounces it, then it is no longer there.
We all want a world without war, without conflict, without human suffering.
War is no picnic. Wars should be prevented, and if you can't prevent them, you have to put them off.
Wars have always started over religion.
We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren't punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That's war. And this is war.
What the world requires of the Christians is that they should continue to be Christians.
I know the established Christian theology... I know the enemy, but the enemy doesn't know me. Thus the enemy has already lost the war.
If the world is disarmed, and remains disarmed, there will be no more world wars.
