Another point to make on this...
It was "GOD" who commanded that Israel do this. God is God and God has the right to order the destruction of a people. However, Obama isn't God. If God guided American through prophets and we were ruled by a just and righteous king, I might see no issue with going to war at the command of God. But NO nation today is ancient Israel. It would be a human ruler bent on political power fueld by greed ordering you to war.
Also, if it's ethically right for a Christian to serve in the United States military... is it ethically right for a Russian Christian to serve in the Russian military? If so... what happens if a conflict arises between the United States and Russia? Is it ethically right for one Christian to try to kill the other on the battlfield for their respective earthly nations?
What I say unto you I say unto all.... THINK!!!
