Christian Nationalism Basics
No Clean Way
“In the ancient world, there was no clean way to separate combatants from non-combatants. When you besieged a city, the entire city was besieged and not just the soldiers. The law of God assumes that Israel would go to war and that sieges would be part of what they would do.”
