My question is this, If you could absolutely guarantee peace on earth for the rest of time between all religions/races/colours/creeds but the price for this was the death of 5 million people (not all from the same religion or country), would you do it?

I think 5 million would be a fair price for peace everlasting.....as long as I was not one of the five million!!!

5 million is less than 1% of the Earth's population. It seems a small price to pay to 'save' the rest, and an even smaller price to save all future generations as well. I just don't think you'd get many volunteers for it! However, I do believe that all the christians/muslims etc should be first, as they would be granted eternal life in heaven by their kind sacrifice. Now THAT would be a result for us all.

Peace on earth can be taken to mean two different things.
1. Absence of wars - It may sound bad but I honestly don't know what I would do if I actually had that choice. I would consider it long and hard but I just don't know. I'm sorry I can't give a true yes or no answer.
2. Absence of all conflict, both violent fights and arguments - NO WAY. That would mean all humans are drones. I would never consider that to be a good thing.

Nope, five million ain't enough.
Five hundred million might do it. We all be too spread out and too busy staying alive to bother about what anybody else was doing.

No. That would mean that there wasn't peace on Earth, there would still be discrimination. Who would choose these 5 million, how would they die, why would they have to die, what if they didn't believe in world peace?

peace on earth is unbiblical Rev. tells us in the end times there will be wars sounds like everythings right on schedule to me the ? is do you have peace in God the peace Good is referring to in the Bible is peace in the mind set in everything we do in trusting Him that's why He told Moses to tell the people to Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord He was talking about in the mind He told them to move first before He parted the water

No. Because I would not believe in the guarantee. I am not gullible, and there will always be wars fo some sort.

The needs of the many out weight the needs of the few.
