Scripture and military service

 

Bible

 

⚪ Scripture goes against military service

It is only due to conscience that they have personally and legally objected before draft boards to participating in the armed conflicts and defense programs of worldly nations In this course their consciences are not warped, but are instructed in what is right, for they are instructed in the Scriptures, God’s Word.
