Answer 2

Terrible answers i have to say. The Old Testament legends like David and Samuel and the like weren't Christians how could they be Christians when Christ had not yet been crucified. They were Jewish. Besides, being a Christian means following the teachings of Christ and anyone who reads the Bible will know that you could not be a Christian Warrior in a physical sense, because Jesus rebukes the apostles on several occaisions for wanting to resort to violence. As a Christian you are not to stand up and fight but to take up your cross and lay down your life.

Answer 3

Crusader knights were more involved in conquering Muslim territory for European Christians; The emporer Constantine could hardly be said to have led a Christain army. Ferdinand and Isabella who drove the Moors out of Spain who had settled there for centuries, I see more agressive as defensive. My best candidate is Charles Martel who clealy was defending Christian territroy from the expansion of the Moors:

Charles Martel (or, in modern English, Charles the Hammer) (23 August 686 – 22 October 741) was the Mayor of the Palace and duke of the Franks and de facto ruler of the Frankish Realms. He expanded his rule over all three of the Frankish kingdoms: Austrasia, Neustria and Burgundy. Martel was born in Herstal, in what is now Wallonia, Belgium, the illegitimate son of Pippin the Middle and his concubine Alpaida (or Chalpaida).

He is best remembered for winning the Battle of Tours in 732, which has traditionally been characterized as an action saving Europe from the Muslim expansionism that had conquered Iberia. "There were no further Muslim invasions of Frankish territory, and Charles's victory has often been regarded as decisive for world history, since it preserved western Europe from Muslim conquest and Islamization."

Though primarily remembered simply as the leader of the Christian army that prevailed at Tours, Charles Martel was a truly giant figure of the Dark Ages. A brilliant general in an age generally bereft of the same, he is considered the forefather of western heavy cavalry, chivalry, founder of the Carolingian Empire, (which was named after him), and a catalyst for the feudal system that would see Europe through the Dark Ages.

Only that fought with the Word of God, and there were many, Stephen for one, Paul for another. Christians do not fight with fist or sword nor do they shed blood, though Peter did cut the ear off of a soldier, but Peter was not fully converted at the time.

St. George.

Crusader Knights.

Michael Collins(the man who lead the Irish rebellion against Britain).

As a young man in Poland, the late Pope John Paul II(then known as Karol Wojtyla)wanted to enter the army to fight off the Nazis. Instead, he joined an underground theatre group(in direct opposition to Nazism), & later the priesthood(again in direct opposition to Nazism & later Communist Soviet Union)to oppose Nazi Occupation.
