He argued that in certain situations, a war is not wrong if it furthers the cause of Christ and advances the Kingdom of God on earth.<\/p>\n<p>He taught that inflicting temporal pain on someone to help them avoid eternal pain was justified. Also, Augustine believed that since God sometimes uses terror for the good of humans (a questionable premise), the church may also use terror for the sake of the gospel (<a title=\"The Myth of a Christian Nation\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0310267315\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=jdmyers-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0310267315\" rel=\"nofollow\"><em>The Myth of a Christian Nation<\/em><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.com\/e\/ir?t=tiheco-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0310267315\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/> p. 78).<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Augustine, Christians have been endorsing wars against &#8220;Christian enemies&#8221; ever since.<\/p>\n<p>But does not the life of Jesus and the truth of the Gospel cry out against this? \u201cDeclaring a war just is simply a ruse to rid ourselves of guilt&#8221; (<a title=\"Engaging the Powers\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/080062646X\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=jdmyers-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=080062646X\" rel=\"nofollow\"><em>Engaging the Powers<\/em><\/a>,<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.com\/e\/ir?t=tiheco-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=080062646X\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/> p. 225).\u00a0Such attempts to absolve ourselves from guilt in the murder of others have been around since the very beginning.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->The killing of others began in the very first family, when Cain killed Abel.<\/p>\n<h2>Why did Cain commit the first murder?<\/h2>\n<p>The Bible is rather vague about Cain\u2019s motives, but the root causes appear to be a mixture of jealousy, anger, and the desire for self-advancement. We rightfully condemn Cain for his actions, but when we look at the situation from Cain\u2019s perspective, his murder of Abel was the very first \u201cJust War\u201d in history. Miroslav Volf points out that Cain\u2019s murder of Abel was governed by faultless logic:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Premise 1: \u201cIf Abel is who God declared him to be, then I am not who I understand myself to be.\u201d Premise 2: \u201cI am who I understand myself to be.\u201d Premise 3: \u201cI cannot change God\u2019s declaration about Abel.\u201d Conclusion: \u201cTherefore, Abel cannot continue to be&#8221; (<a title=\"Exclusion &amp; Embrace\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0687002826\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=jdmyers-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0687002826\" rel=\"nofollow\"><em>Exclusion &amp; Embrace<\/em><\/a>,<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.com\/e\/ir?t=tiheco-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0687002826\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/> p. 95).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>From Cain\u2019s perspective, he had the duty and obligation to protect himself by murdering Abel. If he had admitted that God\u2019s preference for Abel\u2019s sacrifice was correct, then Cain would have had to face his own faults. This he could not do, and so, in self-defense against the moral challenge from his brother, Cain engaged in \u201cJust War\u201d against Abel, and murdered him.<\/p>\n<p>It has been argued that nearly all \u201cJust Wars\u201d in history are of this type. We engage others in a righteous battle, defending our freedoms and liberties, not because the others are necessarily evil and wrong (thought we paint them in this light), but because the only alternative to \u201cJust War\u201d is to admit our own wrongdoing and faults.<\/p>\n<p>And since this is what we will not do, the others must die.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-Small wp-image-10927\" title=\"Just War Jesus Nukes\" src=\"https:\/\/redeeminggod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Just-War-Jesus-Nukes-300x187.jpg\" alt=\"Just War Jesus Nukes\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redeeminggod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Just-War-Jesus-Nukes-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/redeeminggod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Just-War-Jesus-Nukes-150x93.jpg 150w, https:\/\/redeeminggod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Just-War-Jesus-Nukes.jpg 460w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>So ultimately, Just War theory is about one thing:<\/p>\n<h2>It is either us or them.<\/h2>\n<p>There has never been a war in history in which the warriors from both sides did not think their cause was just.
