Can our Soliders really make it to heaven?

Question

In the Bible, it talks about how all murderers must go to Hell. But in the case of our country's soliders, they're murderers under different circumstances. So, if our country's soliders can kill and say it was for the country's freedom and justice and still go to heaven, can a murderer do the same by saying that he/she was killing for a just cause to save their country and loved ones?

Answer 1

The person who kills un-armed innocent people will definitely go to hell.

Answer 2

LOL!!! (laugh out loud)
First you aren't looking at all the facts...
what makes you think our soldiers are any different from their soldiers. They are both fighting for the same reason. "Their Beliefs"
They kill because they think they are right, and vise versa for us. ALL because of their religion and beliefs. You had to see this coming. I'm a humanist. And if "GOD" was actually real. Do you think he would permit you to still enter heaven after you have killed? Even after this so called murderer or soldier was sentenced to hell the moment he committed such an act? I don't know much about the bible. But most people think that this life is nothing more than a test. And if you obey "gods" command you will be rewarded with heaven. blah blah blah. Really American soldiers are dieing for false facts.

Answer 3

It goes down to a state of whether murder is murder in peoples eye. I believe the soldiers go to heaven as they in the main part, killing for a better world/country. This is the view/opinion of myself

Answer 4

a killing for self defense or necessary defense of another is not murder, and it is ordained in the bible. Secondly, the whole foundation of Christianity is forgiveness, I'm amazed to see how often we forget that. In theory even someone who commits suicide, yet is saved can goto heaven.

Answer 5

Like that became somewhat a huge problem earlier? You had an same project in Vietnam, WWI, WWII, and each and every conflict that has ever surpassed off in historic previous from the circumstances of Moses. God became very clean in his conflict orders to Joshua. Kill each and every thing, even the farm animals. There aren't any innocuous bystanders in a conflict zone.

Answer 6

there were wars in the bible too...like jericho and david and goliath. God understands that we must defend our country and ourselves...all chrsitians are at war too..with Satan. Don't worry, the christian soldiers will go to heaven. Hopefully the other ones that dont believe will get saved.

Answer 7

It is all about defense, if we won't kill the enemy in time they will strike again. NEVER FORGET 9/11!!!

Our soldiers deserved to go to the Heaven and some of them already there.

Answer 8

you have commited murder too.

We have all broken the commandments, are all guilty and deserve to go to Hell.


Think of it this way... Imagine you're in a courtroom, you're guilty of many serious crimes. The judge says, "It's a fine of $500,000, or prison." You don't have anywhere near that amount of money, so the bailiff begins to walk you out of the courtroom when someone you don't even know appears. He runs up to the judge with a check and says, "I've paid the fine for you." Now that the fine has been paid, the law no longer has any hold on you. You're free -- because of the gift you were given.
This is what God did for you by sending Jesus to die on the cross in your place. So that you wouldn't have to go to Hell, God sent his only Son, Jesus, to die on the cross -- suffering the punishment that justice demands. Then He rose from the grave, forever defeating death! The Bible tells us, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) If you will repent of your sins and put your trust in Jesus, God says he will forgive all your sins and grant you the gift of everlasting life. Just like the court case we just talked about, if you repent (that means to confess and forsake your sins) and put your trust in Jesus, then you will not have to suffer God's justice in Hell because the payment for your crimes was made by Jesus on the cross.
If you're not sure what to pray, read Psalm 51, and make it a model for your prayer. The words are not "magical," what God cares about is the attitude of your heart. When you pray, it should sound something like this, "Dear God, I repent of all my sins, such as (name them). I put my trust in Jesus Christ as Lord (to say Jesus is your Lord means you are now making Jesus the master over your life) and Savior. Forgive me and grant me your gift of everlasting life. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen."
Now read your Bible daily, and obey what you read. God will never let you down.
What should you read? We suggest that you start in the book named "John," and then read the one named "Romans." Whatever you decide to read, make sure you read every day.

Answer 9

It also says that god is a just god...meaning that he decides where people will ultimately go. around here there are soldiers who have been killing unarmed people in inhumane ways...im sure theyll be sorted out from soilders who are killing for the greater of man kind and in defense

Answer 10

That is insulting to every man and woman who has taken up arms to defend their countries.

Soldiers don't kill because they like killing, or war for that matter.

Soldiers fight because they are following orders. That is why the person who gives the orders needs to be damn sure he is engaging in battle for the RIGHT reasons.

Answer 11

It also talks about war times in the Bible. It's very clear that there will be times where you have to fight physically to save your people. Of course our soldiers are going to Heaven, as long as they believe in Jesus Christ as their savior.
