I just heard about Mel Gibson’s new film, but had no idea about the amazing and inspiring story and Christian behind it. Take a look at the video below and see the terrible dilemma that some Christians face in trying to both serve their country and yet serve God in honouring the commandment; Thou shalt not kill.
As a slightly side issue I believe – correct me if I’m wrong – that this command actually means; Thou Shalt Not Murder – yes though killing and murder may have the same outcome – they are quite different – as one is always premeditated (how murder gets it’s name), often carried out as revenge or for other reasons – whereas the other (killing) can happen in many ways – even by accident and hence courts treat these two things differently too.
Either way – there is no doubt that the men who fought in WWII saved the world from tyranny and yet this conscientious objector is no fearful yellow-belly.
This kind of decision is one that most of us young Christian folk have and may never have to face. Sobering stuff.
I love God, Christ, The Bible. art, painting, playing music, improvising music, guitar (first instrument), drumming (not very good at it:), and anything musical or art related. Quick note – my articles are usually spun off in minutes so forgive any errors – hopefully you get the essence of the article and I’ll pick up mistakes later.
