I simply loved you posted this coment, giving me the chance of demystify this wide-spread and utterly wrong concept. The actions of individuals and the actions of State are subject to completely different system of rules. (Cont.)
For example: the fifth commandment, "You shall not kill". What's the subject of the phrase? You. And if someone kills, what Moses (the State) would have to do with him? Death penalty. "You" are part, and the society is the sum; therefore totally different principles applies. (Cont.)
Same with wars, which are not battles between individuals of the same society. Follow the clues: Christ did not ordered Saint Peter to throw away the sword; instead, He ordered him to keep it in the sheath. (Cont.)
Christ did not ordered the stoning mob to drop the rocks, He ordered them to throw them at her, as long as they didn't have sins; it was not the death penalty that was being wrongly applied, it was the judgement of the adulterous woman that was not done by a court of law, and was being done by an angry mob, which was a violation of the law. (Cont.)
When Christ says to offer the other chick, He's alluding to personal injuries, and personal revenges. But what if someones invades your house and threatens your family? Not to react would be a cowardice, AND A SIN! I will not delay much more here, I think I gave a general insight that offers conditions to anybody understand the basic principles, and do their own research on the matter. Remember, there is no place in Heaven for cowards.

Glorifying the US-Marines or even war???
Completely disregarding the commandment of our Lord Jesus Christ to love our enemies and to bless those who curse us.
You have to twist scripture until it´s unrecognizable to justify war and to think that God will even bless our misslead minds.
