And, of course, love your enemy as yourself.
Jesus (or those who wrote about him initially) proposed a pretty radical philosophy, setting a pretty high bar. Maybe it’s just aspirational, but why does it seem that so many “Christians” pretend those aspects of their faith do not exist?
There was a time when Christianity was a religion of pacifism. That ended when it began to gain wider acceptance and eventually became the state religion of Rome. The it was okay to kill in defense of the Christian state. Now…
Actually, the original stated, “Thou shalt do no murder.” Otherwise, God would have ordered the Hebrews to violate his own commandment at the battle of Jericho and other biblical battles.
Then there’s God. The Old Testament records a number of mass murders carried out on God’s orders, as when in Second Samuel, God sends out “an angel” to kill all Hebrew men of military age, because He’s mad at King David for conducting a census which (puzzling to say) God himself had commanded. Or closer to home, it appears that four out of five fertilized human ova are sloughed without implanting in the uterus (God’s choice). . . .

They don’t understand the part where spirituality is not a buffet, where you can pick and choose whatever you want.

These MAGAats say they don’t need a mask because “God will protect them.” Then why do they need guns?

Our Lord Jesus Christ commands in John 15:12 “My command is this: love each other as I have loved you.” Guns and war are no part of God’s plan for us!

The Command is “Thou shalt not MURDER.” Self-defense is not MURDER.

Why not a SEX STRIKE – where women refuse to have sex until their political goals are met?
It’s happened before.

“Thou shalt not murder” is a more accurate translation.
