How can you be a born again Christian and be a soldier in a war that kills people especially innocent women and children OR a high court judge that condemns criminals to death especially for the same sin Christ forgave you? Should a born again partake in these professions?

I don't think soldiers signed up to become murderous animals who kill innocent lives. Their purpose is to defend a nation, am I correct?

What if the country is fighting an unjust war like the Russian invasion of Georgia? What of the judges that condemn criminals to death for the same sin they committed?

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with your position that Russia's invasion of Georgia is unjust, however, you said it's a job did you not? They either work or quit if they can't do the job.

If you find yourself in that situation as a born again, will you hang on with the killing or quit your job?
What if you are a high court judge who got born again, will you continue condemning people against christ's teachings or quit your job?

Let's just say I'm glad I am not subject to that situation.
