Something more important is at stake. Knowing how God views war may affect how you view God. If you are among the millions who have been deeply hurt by human warfare, you no doubt need to know the answer to the question, Is God, as some believe, a warmonger who allows or even encourages the suffering associated with war, or might he be passive and unconcerned about the welfare of the oppressed?
Kujua maoni ya Mungu kuhusu vita huenda kukabadili maoni yako kumhusu Mungu. Ikiwa wewe ni miongoni mwa watu wengi ambao wameteseka kwa sababu ya vita, huenda ungependa kupata jibu la swali, Je, Mungu anachochea watu wapigane ili wengine wateseke, au labda anakaa tu na hawajali wale wanaokandamizwa?
