I understand it the same way that they did. They didn’t teach the followers of Jesus to kill their enemies, nor did they teach the followers of Jesus to kill one another.

Then you better hope that Jesus is pleased with and approves of those who kill his brothers and sisters.

“By this they will know that you are my disciples: that you kill one another when necessary.” That doesn’t sound to my ears like the voice / teaching of Jesus of Nazareth.

Christians shouldn’t be gunning down children for any reason - unless they live in a country that is at war with the United States?

God’s plan is to have US Christians kill Christians and non-Christians living in other nations to hold back satanic forces until the end?

All he wants is for Christians to rationalize Christians killing Christians.

If that superpower should one day obliterate you from the face of the earth, I’ll try to remember that you were thankful for it.

I myself worked for the government and bucked against it on a few occasions.

The devil just planted an evil thought in my mind: If I would just agree to kill one million Christians living in another country, China, the Christians living in the country where I reside, the United States of America, would live happily in the peace, security and comfort which we so richly...

“Over the past several centuries, people have mistakenly linked democracy and political freedom to Christianity. That’s why many contemporary evangelicals believe the American Revolution was completely justified, both politically and scripturally. They follow the argumentation of the Declaration...

“… believers should willingly place themselves under all government leaders, no matter who those officials are. Notice that the apostle, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, gives this command without qualification or condition. We are to obey every civil authority, no matter how immoral...

You’re rationalizing. Perhaps one day the country you’re living in and / or the country I’m living in will be on the receiving end of nuclear weapons. If that should happen, will you remember that somewhere someone is comforting themselves with the thought that it saved lives?
