Peace and War
It is the duty of Christians to seek peace with all men on principles of righteousness. We should do all in our power to put an end to war. The supreme need of the world is the acceptance of His teachings in all the affairs of men and nations.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.
— Matthew 5:9 (WEB)
Note
Baptists are not pacifist as a body, but the call is to seek peace whenever possible.
