Charming Gentleman: uh, Jesus never spoke to David. They lived hundreds, if not thousands, of years apart. Since I know the difference between the New and Old Testaments and you obviously don't, I'll stick with my question and ignore you due to a lack of credibility. God, I hope you know more about fighting than you do the Bible, or maybe that's why things have sucked in Iraq for 6 years.

"For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same." (Romans 13:3)
"But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil." (Romans 13:4b)
I believe this is new testament?

Jesus was not a pacifist. Anyone who believes so isn't reading very much of the New Testament. It is possible to be honored by God and be a weapon-carrying soldier or law enforcement officer!
Peter himself took off the ear of a High priest in the garden. John 18:10 and Matthew 26:51. Jesus told him to put it away because he knew his death was near. Funny that Jesus wouldn't know that his apostles carried swords.

Is love & pacifists the same word? It relies upon on if the Christian soldier feels God pronounced as her or him to the protection stress. Even below the previous testomony regulation. there became going to war to guard ones human beings or ones usa. If a individual assaults you or your loved ones there is the main suitable of self protection. If somebody accidently killed somebody, he or she wasn't held to blame for homicide quotes. it form of feels very clever to me to kill a terrorist with bombs on her or him who's working to a crouded eating place, etc... Now? As a Christian, i'd get the insurance that it became good to kill the guy. inspite of each and every thing, it would desire to no longer be the way it appears that evidently. yet while the unction became maximum suitable, I prevented that suicide bomber from being to blame of murdering human beings in a crouded eating place & additionally secure the persons interior the crouded eating place. Now, Christians interior the protection stress make blunders. yet wether they could combat for the liberty of our usa or for the liberty of the persons in Iraq or Aphganistan could be between them & God. a real Christians following after the Spirit would keep extremely some peoples lives, because of the fact the Lord would supply them know-how what to do in this occasion. possibly having a pair lasoos from opposite guidelines get the suicide bomber befor he or she enters a crouded place. So then they be able to kill them self in basic terms or disconnect from the bombs. As a Christian, my conflict is a non secular one. yet God provides know-how. i'm no longer interior the protection stress & don't have the skills to shoot some one or lasoo somebody. So? in basic terms keep on with the Spirits very own direction for my existence. And which means praying for our protection stress, Christian or no longer. additionally, in the experience that your usa did no longer have a protection stress, then the enemy would blow you up. and you won't be a usa anymore. The enemy would take over your usa. there is one among those difficulty as a in basic terms war. because of the fact the enemy is undesirable. And in basic terms is jealous because of the fact which you're blessed with freedoms on your usa. in basic terms like the devil is. Who needs to kill you or take your freedoms faraway from you. yet that's additionally all your loved ones freedoms & your fellow usa adult adult males & women's freedom.

Busting "Charming Gentleman's" balls doesn't make you seem very religious to me... but that's me!
So "Thou Shall not Kill" should be weighed and measured by all? A murderer I'm not... but if it came to killing you (JUST for example) to save 20 other people... you'd be getting lead poisoning for sure!

He is also the one who told David to go into battle with the philistines. Do more research next time because you obviously don't know the Bible very well.

There is no moral equivalency between defending oneself and murder.
