War funding and foreign bloodguilt risk

Tier 2 - Grave Compromise

Support for legislation that materially funds war or unjust foreign entanglement.

Principle: Magistrates are accountable for unjust violence and bloodguilt.

Scripture: Psalm 106:37-40, Isaiah 1:15-17, Micah 4:3, Matthew 5:9

Reformed rationale: Magistrates are accountable for unjust violence and bloodguilt. War funding without just cause implicates the civil ruler in moral harm.
