whose war strategies ? whose doing the allowing ?
do you even know if In a war is right or wrong to kill the enemy?
what verse says that ?
Matthew 5:44 KJV — But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Jesus also said this :
(Luke 19:27 [MKJV]) But those who are my enemies, who did not desire that I should reign over them, bring them here and slay them before me.
You do realize that you've quoted a verse talking not about enemies in name, but enemies in deed?
Luke 19:14 KJV — But his
citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us. [meaning that they were not willing that the lord of the parable tell them what to do]
This concept is at the crux of this side conversation about whether lying is righteous or not. If Jesus doesn't want us to lie, and we say it's ok to lie, then we are setting ourselves up as those who would not have the Lord Jesus to rule over us. We will be like these folks:
1 Timothy 1:9-10 KJV — Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the
lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners,
for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers,
for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
Lying is here associated with the lawless, disobedient, ungodly, sinners, unholy, and profane persons, and
contrary to sound doctrine! Not with followers of Christ.
Matthew 7:21-23 KJV — Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me,
ye that work iniquity.
