Something I watched today
Please lay aside everything you think about Greg Boyd especially the negative things and listen with an open mind.
A message by Greg Boyd on War and Peace.
http://whchurch.org/blog/11686/war-and-peace
"...when we fight against other human beings, we are being played by the powers"
"...the primary way we fight the principalities and powers is by refusing to make another human being our enemy...to refuse to ever not love another human being...that is itself warfare against the principalities and powers."Boyd

Re: Something I watched today
it is great to see this message emerging again, and i am ignorant of Mr Boyd's reputation, but i hope it does not obscure the message.

Yeah, I don't know the man although I suspect he is not traditional enough for some here. But the overall message is good and clear.

I disagree with the quotation, but then I do not believe absolute pacifism is Biblical.

Lol, I'd have to deny the Bible to believe in absolute pacifism as a Biblical principle. I do respect individuals' decisions on this matter, however.

Amen. Someday (Lord willing) we will revisit this matter with a civil discussion.

Re: Something I watched today
I've read his book "The Myth of the Christian Nation". He makes a good case for pacifism, because we are part of a different kingdom.
