War is Criminal
War is Criminal
I am now to show that war, when judged on the principles of the gospel, is highly criminal.
1. Going to War Is Not Keeping from the Appearance of Evil,
but Is Running into Temptation
2. War Is Criminal,
As It Naturally Inflames the Pride of Man
3. War Necessarily Infringes On the Consciences of Men,
and Therefore Is Criminal
4. War Is Criminal,
As It Is Opposed to Patient Suffering Under Unjust and Cruel Treatment
5. War Is Criminal,
As It Is Not Doing To Others As We Should Wish Them to Do To Us
6. War Is Inconsistent With Mercy, and Is Therefore Criminal
7. War Is Criminal,
As It Is Inconsistent With Forgiving Trespasses As We Wish To Be Forgiven
8. Engaging In War Is Not Manifesting Love to Enemies
or Returning Good for Evil
9. War Is Criminal,
Because It Is Actually Rendering Evil for Evil
10. War Is Criminal,
As It Is Actually Doing Evil That Good May Come
11. War Is Opposed To the Example of the Son Of God,
and Is Therefore Criminal
