A Roman Centurion asked Jesus how he could be a soldier and still follow Him . Jesus replied " be fair " . War is an inevitable affair of man and we are not condemned by participating .
The key is in understanding how we are saved .
Does anyone know where this is in the bible? I searched on google for a while and I couldn't find it.
All I found was this:
As he entered Caper'na-um, a centurion came forward to him, beseeching him and saying, "Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, in terrible distress." And he said to him, "I will come and heal him." But the centurion answered him, "Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to one, 'Go,' and he goes, and to another, 'Come,' and he comes, and to my slave, 'Do this,' and he does it." When Jesus heard him, he marveled, and said to those who followed him, "Truly, I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such faith. I tell you, many will come from east and west and sit at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, while the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness; there men will weep and gnash their teeth." And to the centurion Jesus said, "Go; be it done for you as you have believed." And the servant was healed at that very moment. ( Matthew 8:5-13)
That doesn't say anything about Jesus saying "be fair" or commenting on how the solder is a soldier and how a soldier can or cannot be a Christian.
