No passages cited.
New Testament
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.”
Calls for peacemaking aligns with urging peace instead of conflict over minerals.
“For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality, the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from the abundance of her luxury.””
Condemns merchants who profit from exploitation, analogous to those profiting from blood‑stained minerals.
Analysis
The Prime Minister’s warning about “blood‑stained minerals” highlights a moral issue of exploitation and profit from conflict, which Scripture condemns. Matthew 5:9 praises peacemakers, supporting efforts to seek peace for the millions in eastern DRC. Revelation 18:3 denounces merchants who grow rich from luxury obtained through immorality, paralleling the profit motive behind the demand for conflict minerals. Thus the conduct of cautioning against such demand is consistent with biblical principles of peace and justice.
