If you served or are serving, why don't you say so here. We would like to know. THANK YOU!! God bless you!! Yesterday, my DAR group passed out "thank-yous" to senior adult veterans at the senior adult center Veterans Day luncheon. We pass out something every year. I am happy to say that this year we passed out giant print Bibles. We had about 75 and even some of the wives got one. The only thing I was not happy about was that I did not get to be there. Have a great day and know how much you are appreciated!! 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My father served in the U.S. Army for 28 years, 1958 - 1986. He did time in Vietnam. My mother was in the Women's Army Corps, 1960 - 1964 (discharged when she married my father). My paternal grandfather was in the U.S. Navy during WW2; 5 of my 6 maternal uncles served in wars from Korea to Vietnam; all but one of my male cousins served during wars ranging from Vietnam to Iraq and Afghanistan. They either served in the Army or Marine Corps. Two of my siblings enlisted in the United States Army following the Gulf War. While I appreciate the acknowledgement, no thanks are needed.

How does serving in the military line up with the Bible's teaching of "being no part of the world" (John 17:16) and other texts that encourage Christian neutrality, such as John 18:36: “My kingdom is no part of this world. If my kingdom were part of this world, my attendants would have fought that I should not be delivered up to the Jews. But, as it is, my kingdom is not from this source.” I believe the Amish and Quakers follow the Biblical admonition to stay neutral and so do not serve in the military.

But, as it is, my kingdom is not from this source.” I believe the Amish and Quakers follow the Biblical admonition to stay neutral and so do not serve in the military. 1 Timothy 2:1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2. For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. There is a reason there are nations and a reason nations have borders, and that borderline does not magically protect itself against aggression and hostility. The Lord prepared a land of milk and honey for Israel during the exodus. Was Israel (and anyone else) allowed to walk in and take the land peacefully? Take possession of it, or did they have to fight, and many die for that land and ideal? I do not see where pacificism and cowardice are taught anywhere in the Bible, on the contrary. It cost Israel 40 years of wandering in circles. David, Gedeon, and Samson are in the Biblical Hall of fame (Hebrews 11:32) for faith and subduing kingdoms; they were warriors. Heaven has an Army (the heavenly host) to do battle. From the plethora of Biblical examples, the history of the world, our Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution of the United States of America. We deduce that with man, “freedom is NOT free.” Someone must pay the price. Onward their Christian soldier. 😊 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
