Would Christians worldwide defend themselves with Arms if armies of Islam attacked their countries, or?

Question

would they 'turn the other cheek' as there doctrine commands them?

Answer 1

im in the military...yes!!! i've been to iraq twice and i've seen man, women and children killed for believing in God instead of allah. i will never hide whom i stand for and i will always fight for my God. i will continue to defend my God 1st and foremost...my family and my country. it's been that way for almost 6 yrs now and i will never stop.

Answer 2

Christian dont have countries. Many Middle Eastern Countries are all Islam, the non Islams there are lopoked down upon so they usually keep quiet about it. But Turn the other cheek dosent mean not doing anything and let them kill you. it means to respond meekly, which means power under control. Many people have misconceptions about Islam too. the people killing our troops i iraq arent regular Islams they are Extremists. Most Muslims won't kill anybody because they are of a different religion.

Answer 3

I think you are twisting the scripture a bit. And by the way, in the passage you refer to (Matt. 5:39) Jesus was talking to Jews. There were no Christians then. The recipients of that message were Jews under the Old Testament law. You have confused Christianity and Judaism-they are not exactly the same.

But, yes, I strongly suspect that Christians would defend their country. What is wrong with that?

Answer 4

First all of you ask this question from yourself:

Well, who is Christian, and who is Muslim, and who is a Jew ? aren't we all the same humans ?

Who is GOD, who is ALLAH, and who is a SATAN ?

if you all think that there exists someone else who created christians, and there exists someone else who created muslims, and there exists someone else who created a jew, then hiding the truth you all are terribly ignorant and illiterate.
Every single person HUMAN or an insect or any creature living or dead is created by none but only ONE who has the power to do that, and that someone is GOD (ALLAH).
can't you all see that a muslim is just the same as a chritian is made, a christian child is same as a child born in a muslim family, so if you think that there exists someone else who created you and there exist someone else who created a muslim, you a truly misguided and guided by none but a satan. ALLAH(GOD) never said to kill innocents, then why so called west is sooo much bloody and blind to see that ? and if you think your GOD is some different one, then does he tell you to kill innocents including women, and children, old and young, un-born in mother's belly ? if so then you have submitted to SATAN, not GOD.
and for your information, look at the history of your guys first - i don't think that within 100 years there has been any war initiated by muslim in the name of ALLAH, you have nothing but blood on your mind and in your eyes cause you always have been misguided ones. first it was you all who were killing one another during world wars lead by communist regime, europe killing europe, there were no muslims there, before that it was again people like you doing crusade in the name of GOD, and now again it is you for more than 6 years killing every single muslim in every single muslim country telling your own children that hey ALLAH is not your GOD, your GOD is different and a muslim's GOD is different - so you want your children too to carry this hatred along with them - does your religion teach you to grow up with hate ?. DOES YOUR GOD tell you to do that, if yes then sorry to say it is not the true GOD.

MAY GOD BLESS MANKIND

I am a Christian, I would NOT take up arms, just as my German Brothers and sisters did NOT take up arms or even roll bandages in WW ll for Hitler!
6 thousand of us died in defense of our beliefs in peace and a world ruled by God not Man!

Your numbers may well be laughable if human beings weren't unaware of history and have been gullible adequate to have faith them.... that basically makes them unhappy! confident there are some enormous numbers there, take WW2 for example, the loss of life camps have been run with the help of the Nazi's and Hitler enjoyed handing out Nietzsche's e book, there there have been the jap.... A Christian committing homicide is performing in direct opposition of ways he's meant to act interior the Bible. even nevertheless in case you examine Nietzsche he talks related to the subsequent century being considered one of enamel and claw and survival of the fittest. we are able to work out that atheistic (anti-Christian) approach interior the purges of Mao (25 million +) , Stalin (20 million +) Pol Pot (2.2 million) and so on. that's expected that Christians are murdered at a value of over a hundred and fifty,000 each and every 12 months for his or her faith... attempt questioning approximately that. examine Foxes e book of Martyr's and consistent with risk think of approximately that too! in case you desire to work out some messy blood shed seem at what Sunni and Shea are doing to a minimum of one yet another, what the Dali Lama's Buddhists did to the different sects in Tibet earlier China moved in... war is hell and there is not any different desire for mankind yet in Jesus. attempt and learn something out of your questions Todd P.S. in case you difficulty to look Hitler develop into no longer a Christian. He develop into super at propaganda and in lots of cases suggested what the team wanted yet he surpassed out Nietzsche's e book (God is ineffective... that guy) each and every of the time and we are able to work out his fascination with fortune tellers, crystals and comments like this... "the suitable factor is to allow Christianity die a organic loss of life.... whilst information of the universe has develop into generic... Christian doctrine would be convicted of absurdity.... " Adolf Hitler pagan possibly, atheist probable , nutcase actually, Christian NO. As for the U. S. it develop into happy with little issues like chasing Sadam out of Kuwait until some radical nutjobs ran a airplane into some homes in manhattan. They woke the super, why do you think of there have not been extra enormous assaults? they want the super to bypass returned to ingesting, ingesting and drowsing.

Luke 22:35-36
35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.

36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
