Last night I chatted with my son about the issues around war and peace, and explained to him that there are Christians who believe in "just war" and there are those who are "peace activists". We looked at some Scriptures and talked about why different people arrive at different conclusions. Here are two interesting comments from my son.
(1) Whether the war is just often depends on your point of view. It depends on who you talk to. For example, on which side of the conflict are the people you talk to?
(2) A full-scale war can start simply because of a minor conflict between a small number of people.
I think both my son and I agree that love and forgiveness are the key to understand the gospel and should be our focus in each conflict.
