Guns and Love

How can guns and love go together? How can we kill people we are called to love?

Jesus calls us to love all people like he loves us. This includes, specifically, our enemies. How can killing someone be remotely close to loving them? I pray for the people of all nations; civilian and military, that they may see the light and love that is Jesus Christ.

What kind of image are Christians propagating when they are killing people? They are not only harming people that they are called to love in direct conflict, but other people see Christians killing and don't want to be a part of any Christianity that says killing is ok.

A lot more value needs to be put into the power of prayer rather than the power of man's killing machines. Trust in God that he will answer our prayers to save our enemies. We are not called to fight with earthly weapons to save souls, we are called to fight with spiritual weapons such as prayer.
