Abstract

The paper examines the outcome of a study which was done at Borabu Sub County. It was moored on Aristotle’s theory on the natural law which stipulates the significance of the natural law in regulating the selections of the Christians. Descriptive survey approaches were utilized with a sample size of 207 out of a population of 2003. Field data was organized, coded, classified and computer analyzed. Major findings of the study were; Seventh-day biblical doctrinal teachings have a great influence on the avenues for ceasefire at the Borabu border for the reason that the whole law of God instills love towards God and fellowman. In addition, the principles of both the national and biblical values were the major components of the Christian ethics enclosed in the six doctrinal teachings of the Seventh Day Adventist church. Therefore, the conclusion drawn was that the Adventist Church at the Borabu border should implement the teachings of their faith in the process of establishing peace paradigm.
