Does the Bible Support a Just War?

<p>Jesus said to love your enemies, turn the other cheek, and to pray for those who persecute you. But does that mean we can never use force under any circumstances? In this post Memorial Day episode, Frank explores what the Bible says about protecting ourselves and others from evil. With insights from Scripture and history, Frank examines real-world examples of Just War and explains why, in a fallen world, force is sometimes not only permissible, but necessary. Tune in as he answers questions like:</p><p></p><ul><li>Would Jesus ever condone violence? If so, what did He mean when He said to "turn the other cheek"?</li><li>Why is complete pacifism unbiblical and a dereliction of duty?</li><li>What is the proper use of the sword according to the Bible?</li><li>Where do our rights come from and what are the 3 institutions that God created?</li><li>What are the 6 attributes of a Just War according to Augustine?</li><li>What are the 7 reasons when using force may be necessary?</li><li>How does this all relate to events happening in Gaza and Israel right now?</li><li>What could President Lincoln possibly say to comfort a mother who lost five sons in the Civil War?</li></ul><p></p><p>Freedom is never free. Don’t miss this Gospel-centered reflection on self-defense and warfare as we honor those who sacrificed their lives in service to our country.</p><p>Resources mentioned during the episode:</p><p></p><p>Jesus and the Case for War - <a href="https://bit.ly/4mGuG8b" style="color: rgb(105,167,239);">https://bit.ly/4mGuG8b</a></p><p>Charlie Kirk vs. Cambridge Student - <a href="https://youtu.be/RXuePZj5eU0" style="color: rgb(105,167,239);">https://youtu.be/RXuePZj5eU0</a></p>
