Dear Mr. Whitehead,
I want to commend you on your recent articles regarding Christianity and War. I wholeheartedly agree!
It is amazing that so many “Christians” are willing to endorse, support and even go to war, when it is very clear in scripture that doing so is a violation of the teachings of Jesus. While there will be wars in this world, they are not for Christians to be involved with. It is also a shame that so few Christian leaders (regardless of denomination) are willing to speak up about the subject. Instead they seem to prefer violence over non-violence. The only group of Christians that I’ve come across that have faithfully been opposed to war are the Anabaptists, particularly the Mennonites.
As you have said, the Early Church Fathers were opposed believers being in the military and causing violence. Too bad more Christians don’t read what the early Christians believed and practiced. When I started reading the Early Church Fathers, that was one of the main teachings and practices that stood out to me.
For those Christians that are in the military or are thinking about joining, I would suggest they read a book called “Change of Allegiance” by Dean Taylor. Both Dean and his wife were in the Army when they came to the realization that being a Christian is incompatible with the military and war.
Again, thank you for your recent articles and speaking the truth.
In Christ,
C. Prang
These bastards in Washington are controlled by the New World Order which make money with war and crime .

Congrats on the Jesus and War article ,now if we could just find the Chrisians who practice it and join in, what a world we would have. Let me know if you have found a Church who not only teach it but are not ashamed to proclaim this truth and pratcie it aswell and Ill move.
Agian I enjoy reading things like that it shows Im not alone at least in my understanding of what Jesus was saying.
