Wonder what Cornelius position was when told to persecute Christians or un-Christ like treat Jews?
Think about it,
Not much different than Saul's position when told to capture and kill Christians. He did what he thought was right by fighting for the faith in fact. Even Christians do not know who really is a Christian when you come right down to it. Some so called Christians tried to Kill Paul in Jerusalem. We had problems like this in the faith all along. That is the way it was then and that is the way it is now. On another level, Watchtower witnesses are trying to kill with silence and isolation Christians among them that do not agree with them. That is their way to fight while pretending to be so-so holy.
We should know that not every Christian slave will be selected by our Lord as a Christian disciple when their time comes. Did what Paul did to disciples mean that he was doomed? He killed good people, brothers in Christ. No! Christ knows the difference in such people. Such things can be forgiven when all circumstances are considered. The battle between the seeds did not end with our Lord's sacrifice and the need to fight for what is right goes on now as well, like it of not.
Ridiculous to conclude that the Bible's and Christ's thoughts on what is a Christian can easily coincide with military combat service and what history has shown this to entail. Especially, when you know the corruption of ungodly men manipulating the politics that lead to these wars.
Now if you want to make a case that military service and unchristian war activies can be separated, then I would agree, but we all know the Christian soilder is not given that choice by his superiors.
