We need to distinguish between war and peace. When we are to fight, it is spiritually against evil things of the world. “Take up the full armor of God”-Eph 6:13 We need to be courageous, and teach other people the gospel. We need to also be peaceful, not against our brothers. We should not fight one another, unless something is contrary to God’s word. We should not fight over matters of judgment. We should teach others. Doing good things do not excuse doing bad things. Application
