Just as good to listen to as it is to read: https://www.biblestudytools.com/audio-bible/esv/genesis/
Just a Pilgrim sojourning threw this world looking toward a far greater promise.
While this is just a game, it tends to reflect our views of real life. Trying to stay on the path outlined for my life even in a game can be just as hard as real life. I still wonder why people say "teaching a lesson" in this game, as if the world they live in is one of teaching people lessons threw brutality. War is never the desired result or the means to gain.
What is the just war theory?
Briefly stated, just war theory says that armed conflict is only moral as a last resort, waged by a legitimate government, for moral reasons, and using moral means. As with most real-world issues, whether or not a particular conflict meets just war criteria is always subject to debate. It’s also critically important to distinguish between the concept of a just war and the idea of a holy war. Just war theory does not support the concept of waging holy wars, and neither does the Bible.
The five main requirements of a “just war” are as follows:
1. A just war is declared by a legitimate government.
2. A just war is an act of last resort.
3. A just war is fought for a just cause.
4. A just war seeks prudent goals.
5. A just war uses moral means.
Just war theory acknowledges that war is not a good thing—the five requirements are specifically meant to circumvent any violence and mayhem unless it is unavoidable. In sum, just war theory treats war as something unfortunate and unpleasant, even in the midst of the conflict. Humane and merciful treatment of one’s enemies is, in particular, an example of how Christian ethics have influenced just war theory.
