19.14
Are there any forms of employment that a Christian
should avoid?
ANSWER:
Yes. A Christian should avoid any employment
where he may have to use force against another
man (such as the army or the police). He should
avoid any position in which he has to swear
an oath of obedience: no Christian should swear
loyalty to any other man, since his loyalty
is to Christ. The Christian should also avoid
unchristian situations, for example working
in a gambling establishment, or in an arms factory,
or in a place where strong drink is sold or
in a shop that sells evil books.
See 1 Timothy 5:22; 1 Thessalonians 5:22.
