As the saying goes....there are church rules, and then there are biblical rules.
I am so glad I'm not a member of a denomination!

From the petition: "We believe war and bloodshed are contrary to the gospel and spirit of Christ"
Guess they have never read:
1) "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven...a time for war and a time for peace." (Ecc 3:18)
2) "At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was known as the Italian Regiment (Acts 10:1)"....Wonder why Cornelius was never remotely asked to leave the army upon his conversion? Maybe it is because being a warrior is NOT contrary to Christianity.
Biblical Christianity teaches against MURDER, which the bible distinquishes from war. The bible, OT or NT, NEVER forbids going to war!
