Hi everyone, there has been some unsettlement in the world for some time and I thought I would offer a simple prayer for peace that we can say. Me, I am unspoken on war and do not involve myself in wars or watch the news much. What I am saying is, I am not here to take sides, but to look for a peaceful solution as a Christian.
At Masters
degree I studied war, security, terrorism and ethics for some modules at
university and am familiar with the UN Charter on Peace and know about
the legitimacy of war on Just war principles. I read the work of
scholars like Ian Holliday, Eric Patterson and Michael Walzer. I have
essays from these times. There were some Christians too whose specialty
was just war theory like theologians like St Augustine and St Thomas
Aquinas. This is not about the ethics of war, but about trying to
comfort you to see you through these hard times for humanity. I know the
pain as well.
Moving
on from that-Jesus will be returning for the 2nd coming. We do not know
when that will be and where we are in that timeline exactly, but we
just prepare, for the two in the field and one will be taken. Till he
returns we have to try I think carry on as normal and supporting each
other in times of war and discontent through prayer to bring about peace
and give them comfort and support. Let us unite together on this and
read
Psalm 46 for peace.
