As has been said upthread, Faith in Jesus/Yeshuah is not for the faint of heart or the cowardly.
You are called to live in Jesus/Yeshuah's example, to let His Spirit come into you and live in you...and he was never wimpy. But his method of warfare does not involve hatred of his enemies.
A person can fight without a heart filled with hatred. If your fight is energized by hatred, you won't go far.
On the other hand, if your fight is energized by His Spirit, while it won't be necessarily be fun, you will be victorious (and there is great satisfaction in fighting as He commands)
If you think those of us who try to live as he commands are choosing a wimpy way of life...you haven't tried it yet.
Martyrdom (that's what he calls us to) is not for cowards. He calls you and all of us to lay down our lives for Him. He calls us to give up our rights to ourselves and that involves our emotions (such as hatred and blame).
Dying to Him is probably the most frightening thing in life (except not dying for Him).
You sound like someone who knows all the right words but is standing on the brink of absolute conversion (of course, I might be wrong and ask your forgiveness if I am).
That said, if I can be of assistance (I am only a humble servant of Him)...please let me know.
INDEED:
