No, i mean 'The Collective' full of borg like yourself.
I see, so it's the JW's or debauchery. Are those the only two options or have you considered there might be a bit of a 'grey area' inbetween?

The Holy Bible teaches moderation in all things. However, there is no middle ground when it comes to salvation. One can not believe in a glorified angel for salvation. We must believe on the glorified God and Savior, Christ Jesus for salvation of our souls. We must think of God as put forth by the Trinity doctrine, otherwise we are putting our faith in a false god and christ that has no power to save souls from damnation.
Originally posted by robbie carrobie ummmm unlike other Christians like Manny and Rjhinds for example who like to justify killing other Christians in the theatre of war, we try to apply Christ's command to love our brothers by not throwing bombs at them, so, we don't do war and we don't do blood.
robbie, would you give blood during ww2 to help allied troops?

God put forth nothing of the sort, he doesn't even mention it in the hundreds of pages of his word the Bible, not once.

how does your pacifist approach apply to ww2. if you were churchill/ roosevelt what would you have done in response to the actions of nazi germany?
God tells his people not to kill. These wars are not Gods and hense we have nothing to do with them.
Man choses to begin and fight these wars. So if you need blood for them, you supply the blood.
