>>So, every generation can use this as a pretext for striking out at any enemy, real or imagined, on the premise that ‘God told me to do that’?<<
That wasn’t the point I was trying to make. The position was stated that Christians should be all about love and non combativeness. My position is that it’s not necessarily so. There are times when we need to be assertive.
Allowing Pagans to invade the US and cowering is not Biblical.
It certainly isn't, but again, you misstate what I said. I only said a moral Christian does not land the first blow. He may well land the killing response and is particularly justified in doing so when his own person, property and family are directly and explicitly threatened. I am not about non-combativeness, just not about pre-emptive war. See my post a few above this for larger discussion on the point.
