As a Christian, how can joining the army be justified? Can I serve my country and my God at the same time?
no, because a country is just a patch of land that you step on.
a country has no "identity" to speak of yet governments are pushing this stupid idea of patriotism, national pride, heroism etc.
Steady pay check
"see the world"
Free college
Those are the 3 reasons people join.

Yeah, why wouldn't you be able to?
Honest question.
Most military jobs are just desk jobs or you could be a chaplain if you really are that religious.

There were roman guards and centurions who were baptised in the NT, so I see no reason why you couldn't be part of the army.

Look at the bigger picture. Gideon and other people were called upon to go to war against philistines and such, and clearly killed people. Drastic times call for drastic measures, but no I don't think that war is inherently evil.
Now, instead of defending america from a foreign nation you are cracking street kids' heads in Saudi Arabia for no reason, yeah, that's pretty fucked.
So pray and ask God if it's really necessary right now.

People here will pretend you can, but in reality it will only cuck you, and if you really follow it you should be all 'no violence'.
jesus hated the fucking rich. he said the wealthy really don't get into heaven.
but you retards just tell yourselves you have money because he loves you.
just as bad as the fucking jews.
anyone keeping all of their riches and material goods instead of passing them on is going to fucking hell. jesus will spit on your for your selfish shitty live praising yourselves in his name.
>remember sodom and gamorrah, remember what GOD fucking did to them?
>why did he do that? to poor sodom??
> but brainwashed retarded shills calling themselves christians scream for gay rights to make their OWN country, our own nation, the NEW sodom.
~YOU ARE FUCKING STUPID AND BEING MANIPULATED JESUS IS ASHAMED OF YOU!~

No u cant, your God or anyone's God should be above countries.
What do you feel? The rule of thumb is if you are not sure if its right, then its wrong (sinful). Because God deal with absolutes

Jesus never condemned the Roman centurion who came to Him in the Gospels. He never said "Hey, you need to stop expanding the Pagan Roman Empire and hurting innocent people!"
No, instead Jesus said "greater faith have I not seen in all Israel."
Yes, you can serve God and your country if you conduct yourself with honor and cling to what is right. God will honor your service if it is done according to His will, prayerfully, and in the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ.
If you were truly loyal to your god you'd be leading a new crusade to free the holy land of jerusalem for true catholic rule.

Pretty hard to do with our current crop of politicians, but soldiering and fighting for a good cause is not discouraged in the bible.
Romans 13:4 For the one in authority is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God's servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.
Luke 22:36 And He said to them, "But now, whoever has a money belt is to take it along, likewise also a bag, and whoever has no sword is to sell his coat and buy one.
