The Fourth Global Inter-religious Conference on Article 9

Article 9 and Global Peace  -  Transcending Nationalism

Aus dem Grusswort des NCCJ:

"●"Put away your sword. Those who use the sword will die by the sword.” (Matthew 26:52) God’s Word here is the administrative policy of Christ as sovereign over history. Article 9 is a pledge to “put away your sword” that clearly follows this policy. Continuing to uphold this pledge is the most realistic way to free the world from “dying by the sword.”
●Never again shall we walk the path of fatal misunderstanding (sin). Contrary to the policy of Christ of history, Japan followed world powers obsessed with the fatal misunderstanding (sin) that “in order to prosper the nation, ‘we must become one of those who use the sword.’” The Empire of Japan, with its national policy of “prosperous country, strong military,” was indeed destroyed “by the sword.”
●“Minimum required” and “limited” use of force will not be accepted  Once a sword is “removed from its sheath” and the opponent is confronted, an adversarial relationship is created that only intensifies. This can be seen throughout world history.
●Article 9, the pledge to put away the sword, must be made known worldwide. We must stop this “reckless race toward destruction” that encourages crises in international relations, stirs up nationalism and seeks to destroy the constitution. Let us make known throughout the world this “pledge to put away the sword” as a basis for human survival."
