🕯️ Traditions Christians and War - What does the Bible Say?

[Cerebellum]

As the conflict in Ukraine has highlighted, many Christian leaders actively promote war. Note how the clergy support both sides of the conflict:

• “Great honors and gratitude to all our warriors defending their native Ukraine from the aggressor . . . Our hearts, sincere prayers, and support are always near you.”—Metropolitan Epiphanius I of Kyiv, as reported in The Jerusalem Post, March 16, 2022.
  
  
• “The head of the Russian Orthodox Church held a service for Russian soldiers on Sunday in which he called on them to defend their country ‘as only Russians can’ as Moscow continues its military campaign in Ukraine.”—Reuters, April 3, 2022.

Yeah, naiintindihan ko po ang post ko .. and about yun sa pakikisali at pagsuporta ng mga tinatawag na relihiyong Christian sa digmaan ..

Those who will call themselves Christian, at sumusupport sa ganiyang mga bagay eh sila talaga ang tatamaan sa post na yan .. Is there a problem po ba kung malaman ng mga tao na may ganyan palang mga tinatawag na Kristiyano?

If you didn't understand the post and kung tinatamaan ang mga tinatawag na Kristiyano dahil sa bagay na yan .. Ako ba ang dapat mag-adjust? Sila ang sumusupport sa mga digmaan po eh ... sang-ayon ka po ba sa pagsuporta ng mga Christian sa war?
