An Activist View of War

An Activist View of War

Activist believe that Christians should participate in all wars in obedience to their government. This is based on the belief that all government is ordained by God. And each person is to be subject to the governing authorities.  There is no authority except God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.

Activists see the connection between obedience to government and obedience to God.  Whoever resists the government is resisting God. 

They believe that the evil of war is lesser than the evil of anarchy or revolution.  They believe by obeying a misguided government is better than participating in societal disorder.

You can agree or disagree with this viewpoint.  But we must remember to disagree in an agreeable way.
