What is Just War Theory? (Just War 101 for Christians)
2 AUG 2023 · Ever wondered what Just War Theory is all about?
Well, we've got you covered!
In a nutshell, Just War Theory is a set of ethical principles used to assess the morality of using military force.
But here's the kicker—we need to explore it from a critical perspective, especially for those of us who strive to follow Christ's teachings of peace.

Just War Theory acknowledges that war and violence are generally seen as negative, but it proposes that there may be certain situations where the use of force is deemed necessary and justifiable.
Key principles of just war theory include the idea that the use of force should be a last resort, that it should be used to achieve a just end, and that it should be conducted in a way that is proportional to the harm being addressed.
However, as peacemakers in Christ, we must question and examine this theory through a different lens that values Christ’s commands above the tradition of men.
If you're interested in gaining a deeper understanding of Just War Theory and exploring its implications from a critical perspective, we invite you to watch this short and enlightening 10-minute video clip by Jerry Robinson. https://youtu.be/HMJt1zDs17E
Jerry offers insights that challenge the conventional narrative and provoke thoughtful consideration.
Let's pursue peace in all that we do!

Has Your Love Grown Cold?
15 MAY 2023 · “And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.” (Matthew 24:12)
Has your love grown cold?
The love of many has grown cold in America (and around the world,) which explains why so many today prefer hatred of enemies over Christ’s law of enemy love.
Enemy love is an unpopular message both in the pews and the pulpits. (Let alone outside the four walls of the church.)
When we hate our enemies, we become what we hate.
This is the way of death.
The way of life is found in peace and love with both friends and enemies.
We know this because of the nonviolent love of both friends and enemies modeled by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
The way of life is the way of peace not found in carnal weapons. The true gospel (GOOD news) of Jesus Christ is a gospel of peace that calls men to walk in the way of peace as they follow their Prince of Peace.
Press into Jesus for He is our peace.

Turning the Other Cheek: Understanding Jesus' Radical Message of Forgiveness
21 APR 2023 · In this latest episode, Bible teacher/author Jerry Robinson explores the profound and often misunderstood teaching of Jesus on turning the other cheek.
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus famously issued this radical command to all who would follow Him: “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also." (Matthew https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpqJZLxKE9g&t=338s,39)
This powerful message of forgiveness has the potential to transform our lives and the world around us, but what exactly did Jesus mean when he told his followers to "turn the other cheek?"
As a Christian for many years, I must say that I’ve heard many explanations of this passage that usually suggest that it is not about violence but more about “interpersonal relationships.”
Strangely, I’ve rarely (if ever) heard a sermon that digs into the Old Testament context of Christ’s command.
In fact, one simple way to understand what Jesus meant by this command is to look at the context of the Mosaic law that Christ is referring to. Namely, the Old Testament command "eye for eye, tooth for tooth."
The phrase "eye for eye, tooth for tooth" is part of the legal code in the Torah and is often referred to as the law of retaliation or lex talionis. The principle of lex talionis is an ancient legal concept that was adopted by various legal systems and is reflected in various religious texts, including the Old Testament.
In essence, it is the idea that a punishment should fit the crime, or that the punishment should be proportional to the harm caused.
This phrase appears three times in the Mosaic law.
1) Exodus 21:24 - In this passage, the law is in reference to a pregnant woman who is maimed or murdered as a result of two men who are fighting/warring.
2) Leviticus 24:20 - This passage refers to a person who is “disfigured” (i.e. injured) by another man.
3) Deuteronomy 19:21 - This passage refers to a person who is being falsely accused of a capital offense (likely worthy of death) by a false witness.
In all these cases, retaliation against the guilty party is demanded in proportion to the harm caused.
In this episode, we take a deep dive into these biblical texts and examine the historical context that Jesus’ audience knew well to gain a clearer understanding of Christ’s radical command to not repay evil for evil, even to one’s enemies.
It's Time To Rethink Good and Evil
10 APR 2023 · What does the Bible say about good and evil?
In this next video episode of the Rethink series, teacher/author Jerry Robinson tackles the topic of good and evil.
Jerry begins with a basic review of God's good creation to reveal that God only does and makes "good" things. Next, he examines the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and provides a simple, but often overlooked, explanation for what the text is revealing to us about God's true nature.
Later, Jerry explains what it means that Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil by acknowledging the existence of "the evil one."
This teaching uncovers the hidden tracks of "the evil one" throughout the scriptures and shows how God defeated the adversary's darkness with light.
It will also challenge you to "rethink" what scripture reveals about good and evil and includes numerous insights and eye-opening details about God's eternal goodness.
