XVI. Peace and War
It is the duty of Christians to seek peace with all men on principles of righteousness. In accordance with the spirit and teachings of Christ they should do all in their power to put an end to war.
The true remedy for the war spirit is the gospel of our Lord. The supreme need of the world is the acceptance of His teachings in all the affairs of men and nations, and the practical application of His law of love.
Isa. 2:4  ; Matt. 5:9,38-48 ; 6:33; 26:52; Luke 22:36,38 ; Rom. 12:18-19 ; 13:1-7; 14:19; Heb.12:14; James 4:1-2 .
