Torture

Yesterday's reading here, included this passage from the New Testament book of Hebrews:

"Remember those who are in prison, as though you were in prison with them; those who are being tortured, as though you yourselves were being tortured." (Hebrews 13:3)

Torture isn't a political issue. It's a relational issue, meaning that it cuts to the heart of what Christian faith is about, our relationship with God and our relationships with others.

In addition to being stupid from the standpoint of any government wishing to protect its combatants and foster goodwill in the world, torture is wrong.

God's Word says that we're to identify with the tortured, not the torturer.
