Does Fighting Resolve Conflict?
Fighting can be necessary
For self-defense
To defend the weak
Fighting does not resolve conflict
Defeating an enemy does not answer
his grievances or end his hatred. The defeated are tempted to seek
revenge.

The reason why God does not
punish an enemy is that He is
thinking of the enemys
parents, wife and children
who all love him.
When you understand that
heart of God, could you takerevenge on your enemy?
