You're saying Christians are hypocrites if they serve in combat?
Theologians have LONG interpreted that commandment as "thou shall not commit murder". Killing someone in self-defense, and also in a just war, has long been considered in keeping with that commandment.
You just make it up as you go along.

Iam no biblical scholar but I know the Ten Commandments don’t say Thou shall not murder.
And as if you ever went to war . There’s no such thing as a just war it’s all about kill or be killed

Where did you get that lie from the the theologians from the crusades

i’m not lying. the catholic church recognizes the principle of just war. Your ignorance, doesn’t make me a liar.

you mis-read it. in july, pope francis said war can be just and there is the right to self defense.
this is too stupid to believe you’re serious

Just accept it jim when politicians politicized the vaccine mandate the conservatives and their supporters in their efforts to continue to push their agenda and switch gears to the religious freedom argument which is totally bogus..
I had a friend who’s sons in the Air Force but he’s a trump fan bought into all the vaccine lies . Who insisted he was going to get a religious exemption.. after the military mandated the shot. He’s baptized that the extent of his faith
But he had a choice follow order or get out… he got the shot..
Not sure why conservatives suddenly feel disobeying orders is fashionable in today’s military talk about a woke idea.. what’s next for people in the military no iam not going to attack that enemy position it’s dangerous and I might die says my religion

From a sitting Air Force General recently
“Lethality matters most,” he added, according to Task & Purpose, a military publication. “When you can kill your enemy, every part of your life is better. Your food tastes better. Your marriage is stronger.”
And I bet he goes to church on Sundays

Just war, that statement is so open to interpretation, so many hundreds of thousands have died in the worlds holy wars in the name of Christianity. Who determines one particular war or conflict is just?
