Hola, iam Jason Carter, Have a blessed day.
Well, that’s a loaded question! War is a complex issue and it’s hard to say whether Jehovah allowed it or not. It really depends on how you look at it. On one hand, there are passages in the Bible that seem to condone war in certain circumstances. On the other hand, there are also passages that suggest peace and non-violence as the preferred option. So, I guess you could say it’s a bit of a grey area - but ultimately, only Jehovah knows for sure!
Why Did Jehovah Allow War? [Solved]
Gosh, God chose Israel as his special people and gave ’em the right to fight for their survival. But that’s not all - He also wanted to show the world who He is through war. Makes sense, right?
Just War Theory: According to this theory, war is permissible if it meets certain criteria, such as being a last resort and having a reasonable chance of success. Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that war should only be used as a last resort and that it should not be entered into lightly.
Non-Violence: Jehovah’s Witnesses are committed to non-violence and do not participate in any form of warfare or military service. They believe that violence is never the answer and that peace can be achieved through peaceful means.
Pacifism: Jehovah’s Witnesses are pacifists who reject all forms of violence, including war, as an acceptable means of resolving conflicts between nations or individuals. They believe that peace can only be achieved through peaceful means such as diplomacy and negotiation rather than through force or aggression.
Love for Enemies: Jehovah’s Witnesses also believe in loving their enemies and treating them with respect even when they disagree with them or oppose them in some way. This includes refraining from participating in any form of warfare against them, even if it is sanctioned by the government or other authority figures.
Jehovah’s stance on war is complicated. He didn’t necessarily condone it, but He did allow it in certain circumstances. In the Old Testament, for example, He allowed wars of self-defense and even commanded them in some cases. Ultimately, though, Jehovah wanted peace and harmony among His people.
