Nawa oo. People just respond to question without reading their bible.
The demand of God's moral law on individuals is far different on the demands on Government and authority.
God's moral law for instance required that if someone slaps you on the left cheek, you should turn the right to him also but when it comes to how the government or the authority that breaks the law of the land for instance armed robbery. The moral law of God requires that the government or authority brings upon such individual the full punishment meat for that crime. An army serving the goverment and authority of the land has every obligation to that government to put to order those that are causing unrest to the nation that government is representing. Those serving in the nigerian army for instance have the obligation to fight boko haram with alms when neccesary in a quest to stop the act of terrorism of boko haram. The action of such army officer in this regard is on the order of the government of that nation. But if it is on individual level say for instance, i will be commiting a crime of muder if i kill someone based on my own decidion to do so.
An army serving is the military sole responsibilty is to defend his nation wether by the use of gun or other weapon assign to him to carry out his duty.
You can through God'd moral law in the book of leviticus.
EXCELLENT! I'm more enlightened on this. I picked up the line which you talked about the LAW coming after a criminal and not really about the person 'pulling the trigger '.

So a bullet can just come out of the gun by it self and shoots a target .. Powww!! without anyone to trigger it, right?... Or is it possible for a knife to just Pierce into a person chest without someone directing it?
undecided
Weapons of killing were meant for killing, but it can only do its job if it is controlled and manipulated by someone, so dere is no way u can blame a weapon
for obeying it's operator and trying to use dis as a justification for killing wud be totally wrong...
my dear, it's very possible ...especially now we are living in the last days.

Misogynist2014:
iamodenigbo1 is right: And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin. As for your question, its very silly, given the numerous wars fought by Israel, but I guess you were pushed by the zeal to write a topic.

I just pray that teenagers are not infiltrating and hijacking this forum. Just saying it cos of some responses. I expect us to hv left this kindergarten level. Just nt to bore u with a lengthy detail, the bible never mentions fighting or waring as a sin(even angels war), but rather urges that we pursue peace within our possible means but nt at all cost.

Re: I KILL In The ARMY; Is It A SIN? by Nobody: 10:42pm On Mar 04, 2015
There are many wars
mentioned in the Bible. Wars of
conquest ( Joshua 1:6), civil wars
(2 Samuel 3:1), and even a war in
heaven (Revelation 12:7). Of
course, wars involve killing;
there is no way around it. We
know that murder is sin ( Exodus
20:13). But what about the killing
of an enemy combatant during
wartime?
First, we know that not all killing
in wartime is a sin because there
have been times when God
Himself commanded battles to
be fought. God told the ancient
Israelites to possess the
Promised Land; in fact, just
before the conquest, the Lord
appeared to Joshua as
“commander of the army of the
Lord”—a man of war ( Joshua
5:14). God laid out the battle
plans for the fight against Ai
( Joshua 8:1–2). God told King
Saul to “go, attack the
Amalekites and totally destroy
all that belongs to them” ( 1
Samuel 15:3). King David
defeated the Philistines by
following God’s strategy
concerning the battle ( 2 Samuel
5:23–25). God never tells people
to sin, so the Israelites who
followed God’s commands to
wage war were not sinning.
Killing in war cannot be equated
with murder.
This is not to say that killing in
war has no effects. David wanted
badly to build the temple in
Jerusalem, but God did not let
him. The Lord wanted a man of
peace to build the temple, and
David’s history had been
anything but peaceful. God said
to David, “You are not to build a
house for my Name, because
you are a warrior and have shed
blood” ( 1 Chronicles 28:3).
There is no theocracy today. No
nation has a command from
God to wage war, and God is not
handing out battle plans as He
did to Joshua, Saul, and David.
Yet wars continue to be fought.
It is part a fallen world’s
existence. The Bible never
condemns the actions of a
soldier following orders on a
battlefield. In fact, the New
Testament has examples of
soldiers who had faith in God—
Jesus commended a centurion’s
faith in Matthew 8:10; and
another centurion, Cornelius,
was saved in Acts 10. These men
of war were not rebuked for
performing the duties of a
centurion, nor were they told
they must change professions.
Most tellingly, some soldiers
came to John the Baptist as he
was baptizing in the Jordan
River. The soldiers asked John,
“What should we do?” This
would have been the perfect
opportunity for John to tell them
to stop engaging in warfare, stop
killing, or stop being soldiers.
Instead, John replied, “Don’t
extort money and don’t accuse
people falsely—be content with
your pay” (Luke 3:14). Being a
soldier is not inherently sinful.
Paul uses the soldier life as an
illustration of spiritual truth (see
1 Corinthians 9:7 and 2 Timothy
2:3). Other references mention
battles and warfare (see 2
Corinthians 10:4 and 1 Timothy
1:18). Ephesians 6 contains an
extended comparison of the
Christian life and warfare
(verses 10–17). If being a soldier
(and doing the things soldiers
are required to do) were sinful,
it is unlikely the Holy Spirit
would have used soldiering as a
metaphor for anything good.
Throughout the Bible, warfare is
presented as a grim reality in a
cursed world. There are forces
of evil that must be stopped, and
bloodshed is sometimes the
result. Whether a Christian
should serve in the military is a
matter of one’s own conscience,
but killing an armed combatant
in the context of warfare is not
sinful in itself. There is a time
and season for everything,
including war (Ecclesiastes 3:cool.

The bible says, 'be wrathful, but do not sin'. That your 'anger moment' has made you sin.
You are a violent girl. Those who live by the reflexes die by the reflexes and shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
