When is violence ever justified? To protect life and liberty.
Ask another question. Why let a book do all your thinking for you?
The filthy jews AKA: children of the devil are trying to exterminate White people. We are justified to wipe them out.
I suggest you look up Chuck Missler and listen to his discussion on self-defense and Christianity. I don't see anything in the Bible that presents self-defense or execution as a sin.
The Christ described in the Bible certainly believed that you should submit to violence without resistance, hand over more of your belongings to theives than they ask for, do good works to those who hate and persecute you, and be extra submissive towards your enemies.
He said to welcome foreigners into your lands and strangers into your homes, to feed them, give them shelter, and care for them, he said that it is a requirement to hate yourself, and to abandon your family, and your people in order to follow him.
He also implored slaves to serve their masters well, and that tyranny should be submitted to, he also called all gentiles the dogs of the jews for only for the scraps tossed to them by their jewish masters, and said that his salvation is not available to gentiles.
Most famously, he said not to judge others for their actions, unless you yourself are completely sinless, and that also means that you cannot punish anyone for anything they do, ever.
Jesus himself broke his own rules, but he has a few thing going on that makes him an exception:
first, he is God, and is therefore exempt from his own judgment, he can do as he dsmn well pleases.
second, he changes his mind, you can see a 180 ftom him before he was rejected as messiah, where he loved the pharisee and commanded his disciples to obey them, and after he was rejected as messiah, where he absolutely hates the pharisee. So essentially these could be seen as two distinct Jesus's.
If it sounds like the words of Christ are suicidally impractical, keep in mind the following:
- The goal of Christianity is to achieve salvation from sin after death, it was never to spread Christianity to the whole of the world forevermore.
Jesus never intended his religion to live as long as it did, and he also expected the endtimes to come soon after his death.
Christianity survived by having most of its believers be absolutely ignorant of their religious texts for most of its existence, nowadays reading the Bible is considered something a good Christian does, but for most of Christian history, it was an act of heresy.
The Bible was intended only to be read by designated religious authorities who selectively quoted and interpreted the texts to socially engineer the will of the people.
This is the real reason why it was such a big deal that some Christian denominations formed that actually permitted the layman to read it for themselves.
Those laws you mentioned, and all the military acts carried put by religious people, were not done out of religion but out of practical considerations, often by people who knew or thought little about the problematic aspects of the words of christ, and sone weren't even really Christian.
We got people who basically do what they decided to do, or think what they decided to think, and then simply attributed it to God, they can even find some Bible quote they can take out of context to justify their claims.
So yes, your religion is exactly as bad as it sounds, but white people made it work.
Isn't that what forgiveness is all about! ( not a christian )
From a New Testament standpoint, "turn the other cheek" right?If it is better to cut off your hand than to use it to sin you should never do so.
Sure, Jesus lost it a few times but that doesn't mean he would advocate for others to respond in that way.
Violence is only justified as a means to end unprovoked violence. Murder is murder, killing is killing. Who, what, or how does a killing become justified?
