Boudi your mention of Peter and his sword is way off. Christ no doubt had fear that night but He was going to sacrifice his life for us anyway. Why? Because of His love for you and me. The real love not that strange love you promote. Christ could have called on the angels to rescue Him but He did not. This has no link to the role of the state to use the sword to destroy those that would do evil to it's people. I again go to Romans for how Christians should understand that the state is justified in the eyes of God when it uses the sword. Please show me how I don't understand the very clear instruction these verses provide us with?
Interesting you have already tossed the book of Romans into the garbage. Don't like it eh!
I refer you to Martin's words with regrd to the state, and again point olut that you're clinging to your Roman's now, whereas you were using furniture aggression earlier as a justification. Jesus and his tippling tables let you down?
Do I like or dioslike the book of Romans? Don't care either way, but America once insisted that people got theirm day in court, just as Jesus got his. I don't need to scrat arounjd for the odd line here and there to try to make the killing of an unarmed man a Christian act. I suspect you need to look at the life of Christ to define that. ( you've moved and tried to find refuge in Paul!)
