The Old Testament And War: Priests, Leaders And Warriors

3 The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name. 4 Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea. 5 The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone. 6 Thy right hand, O Lord, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O Lord, hath dashed in pieces the enemy. (Exodus 15)

The New Testament And War: Intellectualism, Evangelism And Leading People To Christ

"For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; and having in readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled." (II Cor. 10:3-6)

War After The Departure Of Bondage In Egypt: Death And Slaying Of Children

God brought Israel out of bondage and commanded his people to war against their enemies if they were not willing to make peace and pay tribute to them. (Dt. 20: 11-15) Dominance and war aggression was the new role of the Israelites. One culture was promoted -- Hebrew culture. God was their leader and those subject to them would have been subject to his blessings. However, if they resisted, they were considered enemies and when they were overtaken with siege, every one of their males was to be killed with the sword. (Dt. 20:13)

That was the manner of warfare against nations afar off. However, of the nations they were to inherit, they were to kill everything that breathed. (Dt. 20:16-18)

War Crime During The Times Of The Kings In Israel

Joab was what I would call a military leader similar to what a four-star general would be in the US today. He was a skilled warrior and even fought hand-to-hand at times. However, he was not a straight man in the eyes of David, a man later to become king of Israel. Joab used betrayal methods and made war against peace. (I Kings 2:5) Leadership has benefits but it also has penalties when wrongs are made. King David, giving advise to his son Solomon after he took the throne, wanted Joab to be punished before he died. (1 Kings 2:6)

War Crime: Even God's Anointed (King David) Made Mistakes

David was a great man of God. He became a wonderful and brave warrior. He defeated many enemies. However, although David loved God and wanted to be great for him, he made a terrible mistake. He misused his R & R, so to speak. He fell in lust for another warrior's (Uriah) wife, and had him killed (2 Samuel 11:15) so he could take her for his own wife. He had military authority but abused it for his own lust. This would be considered today in the US at least as a form of manslaughter if a military leader had his subordinate killed on purpose so he could take advantage of his wife. War crime comes in many forms.

Righteousness Is Expected In War And Peace

God did not allow King David to get away with his sins. He was punished severely. The Lord brought judgment upon David for his wickedness; he and his posterity suffered, "Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house" (II Sa. 12:10). God brought troubles (defilement that could not be reconciled – Dt. 24:4) upon David within his own house and his immediate surroundings (II Sa. 12:11). The Lord struck the child that Uriah's wife bare to David, and the child died (II Sa. 12:18). David's daughter, Tamar, was raped (II Sa. 13:14). Absalom killed Ammon, his brother, for the outrageous act he committed against his sister (II Sa. 13: 28, 29). Absalom was eventually killed (II Sa. 18:9). All this heartache came upon David because he did not follow God's commandment--"Thou shalt not commit adultery" (Ex. 20:14).

David repented of the sin, and his fellowship was restored with God. Of course, he could not bring Uriah back to life and restore his victim's marriage, but he was sorry for what he had done and recognized his error. He did not deny his mistake and try to cover up his actions afterward nor did he just give up; he was ready to try again (Ps. 51). God had used Nathan the prophet to turn the king's direction back to Himself. Since Bathsheba's husband was no longer alive, she was no longer bound to him as a wife; (note) I Cor. 7:39, and David was lawfully permitted to keep her as a wife. Afterward, he continued to live the precious, obedient life that he once lived but his life was not the same that it had been before.

God faithfully fulfilled his promises of good still to David, but nevertheless, David's life suffered severe affliction. Even though God had freely given him many good things, he paid a tremendous price for his sin. Eventually, Israel and Judah began to war against one another. The sins of people bring God's judgment. Adultery is a plague to an individual and nation, murder is a plague to an individual and nation, and sin is a plague to an individual and nation.

There is only one righteous way of dissolving a sinful sexual relationship--repentance! Repentance means making a "change" from sin unto obeying God, making a change by doing things God's way, by listening to God's direction, by listening to God's word--the Holy Bible. I hope there is not anything in your life preventing you from carrying out the great commission or delighting in the will of the Lord with joy. God desires that you have the very best in life--which only comes through recognition of God's commandments, followed with obedience. More details...

As To War: How Do Christians And Others Relate The Old Testament With The New Testament

(See above on the right.)

Vietnam

War is 24/7/continuous. It never stops. The Russians and anti-Hebrew religious based cults teach us this. No one is immune to innate desire and conspiracy. However, we do not live in ancient Israel nor are we commanded the same rules of old because we have new teachings from the New Covenant/Testament. Nevertheless, somehow Islam and modern Judaism (which is anti-Hebrew) infiltrated the military of the US. Satan controls from high places. It was not a matter of ethics of former Christian dominance but rather compromise.

You can't have a nation if you do not have a military. When the US began, it had great men who fought for it. Whether they were right or wrong, especially by resisting through violent protest – and as a general New Testament rule violent protest is hardly ever justified – by the time our ancestors came along they had a nation. On the other hand, of course Jesus Christ himself had to over-turn tables and cast the money-changers out of the temple. So there is a time when men have to righteously stand up. (Matthew 21:12-13)

Regardless of former circumstances, it was a very good nation in many ways as to promoting biblical law and its fulfillment through Christianity. Nevertheless, it wasn't perfect, became subverted with political enemies and people of power, and lost its founding democracy (and white demographics).

Since the Affirmative Action overthrow, America's founder-heirs haven't even had an even close to equal vote. The circumstances are much different than the Civil War when white men on both sides were fighting for their sovereignty. Also, even after WW I and II, great losses of sovereignty to the founding people have taken place. Physical war, male dominance and tribute were Old Testament attributes of making peace and building a people of righteousness, but during and after Vietnam, anti-Christian intellectualism, desovereignization and legalized tyranny controlled masses.

As early-American intellectualism and evangelism became stifled and weak, the enemy became intellectually more divisive and overcame the founded, former good government. Even though righteous, white apartheid and superior position may never be recovered in a once white nation as before elite anti-Christianity and furtherance of the apostasy, Christians are still obligated to fight the continuous war with the word of God. We must become educated, learning the Bible and God's way of doing battle.

White Americans must overcome becoming mundane and not desiring to bond homogeneously as they formerly did. One culture must be foremost -- Christian, White culture. One sovereignty -- White sovereignty. During the early Vietnam discussions, mothers should have been Scripturely learned as the mother of seven (2 Maccabees 7:20, KJV) and even formed political and evangelical teams having spoken against the treasonous, contemporary Talmudicist self-hating threat against the dominant white-culture demographic status quo, unnecessary war and desovereignization.

Now, they must not allow Affirmative Action and adverse, multi-cultural laws and tactics continue to destroy them. Teaching a son to go to a bible school or study the Scriptures at home is more needed than to attend a military school.

Men: Our battle today is to fight for the Biblical institutions.

Women: Sexual purity, preservation of female attributes, the home and racial homogeneity must be our goal.
