Can war ever bring out the good in people?

Answer 1

The only thing that war has left behind is desolation , suffering and death that the war industry has been enriched from.

Here is what solders have to say about their experience.

" Catastrophic evevts-- life changing injuries or death happen all around you. There is a constant feeling of uncertainty.

" I was hit by bullets in my back and face, and I saw many killed, including children and elderly. War makes you hardhearted."

" when someone is shot in front of you, the scene doesn't just go away. The screaming and the moarning continue. You don't forget about that person ever.

Here is what civilians have to say.

" I felt like I could never be happy again. You fear for your life, but even more than that, you fear for the lives of your family and friends".

" it is terrifying to stand in line for food from 2.00 a.m. until 11.00 p.m., not knowing if you will be hit by a stray bullet."

" War left me without parents. It made me an orphan with no one to confort or care for me."

According to United Nation Deputy Secrtary-General Amina J. Mohammed, " The world is facing the highest number of violent conflicts since the second World War and 2 billion people --which is a quarter of humanty live in places affected by such conflict."

Bible prophecy indicates that war and violent conflict would be part of the sigh of " the conclusion of the system that is inluenced by an evil force. 1 John 5: 19 reads. "The whol world is lying in the power of the wicked one. and Revelation 12: 9 helps us to know who is the wicked one in these words. " The one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth."

Genesis chapter 3: 1-5 reveals what happed to mankind from the day that our progenitors Adam and Eve have decided to dismiss God's command. and Romans 5: 12 explains how and why our world is in such a state in these words. " Just as through one man sin entered into the world". The word sin means ( miss the goal ) Mankind has missed the goal that God 's purpose for humans was, which was that we live a happy life forever on earth. Genesis chapter 3 is mankind's history

According to Isaiah 2: 4 God will render judgement among the nations and set matters straight. But people will have to no longer learn war anymore". Weapons will be transformed into useful tools."

The only thing that can ever bring out good in people is to learn how to become a better inhabitant of our planet Earth. The Bible is a letter from God and beneficial for our teaching and setting matters straight according to 2 Timothy 3: 16,17 and Isaiah 48: 17,18 shows that God wants us to benefit ourselves from His teaching.

Because violent begins within a person's heart according to Jeremiah 17. 9 in these words, " The heart is more treacherous than anything else" and Romans 10: 10 shows that for with the heart one exercise faith for righteousness..

As we were made in God's image according to Genesis 1: 26, we all possess the ability to do good when needed. But as the Bible shows in 2 Timothy 3: 1-5 " people will go from bad to worse because men will be lovers of themselves and lovers of money with no natural affection. Which that is exactly why many disarmament commitments and promises have gone unfulfilled and nations are often unwilling to disarm because of their fear of losing power or becoming vulnerable.

God's solution for a happy future is His Kingdom ( government) Daniel 2: 44 reads. "That the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed and He wil crush and put an end to all human governments."

Matthew 6: 9,10 shows that Jesus believed in His Father's government and told us to pray for God's kingdom to come , where His will, will take place as in heaven also on earth.

Psalms 37: 29 reads" The righteous will possess the earth and live forever on it, which has always been God's purpose and has not changed.. Genesis 2: 17 shows that Adam knew that if he did not dismissed God's command that he would not have died and miss God's goal, which was to live forever on earth.

So why is there so much war if everyone wants to live in peace, you may wonder?

Answer 2

War can sometimes reveal the resilience, courage, and compassion in individuals, as people unite for survival and support one another in the face of adversity. Acts of heroism and solidarity often emerge in conflict situations, showcasing the best of humanity. However, while some may rise to the occasion, war also brings out destructive behaviors and suffering, highlighting the complex nature of human responses in extreme circumstances. Ultimately, any good that arises is often overshadowed by the profound loss and trauma that war inflicts.
