Look,I
understand,well,I don't understand it but I recognize, you and others like you delete the Old Testament from your belief system in order to uphold your advocacy for strong pacifism.
However,when you do this you not only invalidate the New Testament that was built on the Old Testament,but you also corrupt the image of God,Jesus, who was everything you anf other strong pacifists oppose.
Therefore,you aren't defending the image of Jesus. You're promoting your own indifference to evil and offensive violence and defending your willingness to concede to its authority, while invoking the God you excised from his first testament,so to make him the antithesis of that God in the new testament myth you invent and prefer.
God does not change. He is the same yesterday,today,and forever.
Any text that calls that a lie is Satanic.
God is a war God. As he proved and avowed. Ignoring that is not of God.
