"It is Not Lawful For Me To Fight" Watchtower Research Early Christian Beliefs For Sale

Here is an outstanding book for research in the early Christian beliefs on War, violence and involvement in the State. "It Is Not Lawful For Me To Fight" 1980 by Hornus [372 pages]. Jehovah's Witnesses also believe in Christian Neutrality just like these early Christians did as shown in this book. Referencing many early first Century writers such as Tertullian, Origen, Polycarp, Lactantius, Justin, Josephus, Jerome, Hippolytus, Eusebius, Clement, Augustine and many many others. This book also shows how by the forth century the Christian attitude to war changed, thus agreeing with the Bible and Jehovah's Witnesses that an Apostasy away from the true faith would occur. Jehovah's Witnesses are a restoration of the Christians of the first century.
Jesus told us the identifying mark of his true disciples would be that they would have "love among themselves" Jn. 13:34,35. Ask yourself does it show love to slaughter your brother from another religion or even your own religion on the battlefield? What if your government told you to defend its country by fighting against others of your own faith : Catholic verses Catholic, Protestant verses Protestant, Muslims, Hindus ....If it is right to defend your country then why did Jesus tell Peter not to defend him but to "Return your sword to its place, those who live by the sword will die by the sword"? Mt 26:52. Ask yourself the next time there is a war such as during WW1 or WW2 or any war since where Catholics and Protestants killed each other on both sides - WHICH SIDE WAS GOD ON ???? Obviously neither for this world, its religions, nationalism, materialism Governments are all being mislead by Satan the Devil. Revelation 12:9 says : "the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth."
Jesus also clearly shows us John 17:16:"They are no part of the world, just as I[Jesus] am no part of the world."John 6:15: "Jesus, knowing they [the Jews] were about tocome and seize him to make him king, withdrew again intothe mountain all alone." Later, he told the Roman governor:"My kingdom is no part of this world. If my kingdom werepart of this world, my attendants would have fought that Ishould not be delivered up to the Jews. But, as it is, mykingdom is not from this source."-John 1836.Jas. 4:4: "Adulteresses, do you not know that the friendshipwith the world is enmity with God? Whoever, therefore,wants to be a friend of the world is constituting himself anenemy of God." (Why is the matter so serious? Because, as1 John 5:19 says, "the whole world is lying in the power ofthe wicked one." At John 14:30, Jesus referred to Satan asbeing "the ruler of the world." So, no matter what worldlyfaction a person might support, under whose control wouldhe really come?)
We have over 30 publications by various historians on the early First Century Christians that show that they did not get involved in wars or support of any Government no matter how noble they may be. Just like JEHOVAHS WITNESESS of today they were all neutral as to this world under Satans control. That world will soon end as the Bible tells us [Daniel 2:44] " The world and its desire will pass away ,But he who does the will of God [not the will of your country right or wrong] remains forever." 1 Jn. 2:17.
