War is the ultimate example of human
depravity, and any attempt to justify it through the teachings of Jesus Christ
is a perversion a scripture. When one accepts the offer of salvation through
the Son of God, (John 3:16), he begins the process of becoming a "new
creation." Old habits will pass away and be replaced with a new view on
life, both here and the hereafter. Whereas we once used violence as a means to
secure what was ours and what we believed we needed for the future, we are now
called to be different. The whole idea of the idea of "holiness" is to be
different. The word "holy" comes from the word "hagios" which means "to be
different....to be set apart for God! Where there was hatred, there is now understanding,
where there was strife there is now peace. The teachings of the New Testament
show that a Christian is different than unbelievers. We are a "light set
upon a hill," and example to worthy to emulate. But, if we continue to
hate, strive against enemies, kill, and cause great suffering upon others, then
wherein are we different? What is the "new life in Christ" if we
retain our old ways? When the Church
uses the ways of the world it gets the results of the world.

We reject all institutionalized violence
and war because it violates the clear teachings of Jesus Christ. War, at best
may only be considered a social responsibility and not a biblical mandate. As a social
responsibility, it is so only for a degenerate society, one that a Christian
cannot be apart of. The Christian cannot share in any action, corporate or individual,
that is a known contradiction to the requirement to discipleship.

In Matthew Chapters 5-7 we find the Sermon
on the Mount. This is where Jesus establishes the groundwork of discipleship
behavior. The sayings have been called "the hard sayings of Christ."
They are called the hard sayings because it runs contrary to our lusts and the
way of life that we do not wish to abandon. We enjoy hating our neighbor, fighting
and waging war. We believe (supported by Aquinas and Catholic doctrine) that war
is a right of the "natural law" and therefore acceptable to God. Yet,
Jesus said if you love your neighbor and hate your enemy then you are no different
than anyone else (Matthew 5:43-48). We want to be disciples of Christ and yet not
be different from others. This is not possible.

As a Christian can you not understand this? As a human can
you not understand? What glory is there when our sons and daughters lie smoldering
in the ruins of our homes?
