Pacifism holds that all violence and war are morally wrong and that Christians should not participate in war in any way. Pacifists take “turning the other cheek” and “loving your enemies” literally (Matthew 5). They must be ready to accept violence without resistance or retaliation. Christians should never use force, even in self-defense. Pacifists believe that Christians who condone violence and war do so based on philosophical arguments, not biblical text, and that they have been corrupted by the values ​​that are part of the secular world. Having a new identity in Christ and being part of the Kingdom of God (2 Cor 5:20 and Philippians 3:20), Christians must not become entangled in the affairs of this world. Pacifists point out that a person's loyalty and obligations are to God and when there is a conflict between obeying God or obeying one's government, "we must obey God rather than men" (Acts 5:29). Discussion: Ask participants to read 2 Cor 5:20, Phil 3:20, Acts 5:29). Ask: Is it possible for someone to love their enemies if they are killing?
