2 Cor 10.1-6; Romans 13.1-5 – A Christian ethic of war

why?

1. framework

2. holy war (Gen 9; Josh 8; 2 Cor 10.1-6; Eph 6.10-20; Col 3)

God’s holy war on sin is physical in the Old Testament, fulfilled in Jesus, spiritual and personal now

3. just war (Matt 8; Romans 13.1-5; 2 Timothy 2)

just war is a human institution applying physical force for the defence of justice in international relations
