The American Thinker

The American Thinker - Christians, Pacifism and the Sword

This first in a series by James Arlandson is well worth reading for anyone who wishes to better understand the Scriptural underpinnings of God's plan and Jesus' mission. Take the time. You'll find it relevant to the conflict confronting Christians in the face of radical, militant Islamists.

The Kingdom of God and kingdom of the world are clearly explained as they are revealed in the Scriptures. I am reading the book "Myth of a Christian Nation" by Greg Boyd which elucidates the same theme. Here's a previous post with a quote from his book.

Christians must come to grips with these truths because we live in this world, but are not of this world.
