Bottom line to refute the idea that Jesus commands pacifism:
Jesus never said violence is always wrong, at least I've never seen it.
Jesus never said violence is always wrong, at least I've never seen it.
pacifism for true Jesus' followers.

USA got all the glory and now it seems it is going down badly.
Anyway, His followers have nothing to worry. We just have to keep on preaching God's kingdom.
We need to worry if our faith is not in God and Jesus.
If someone attempted to steal that stupid hat from you, would you fold, not object, and be a pacifist?
Good day to you, sir.
God was angry with mankind and commanded the Flood that killed every man, woman and child. God instructed Samuel to command Saul to kill every man, woman and child.
Has God switched nations and made America his chosen people today, and which prophet commanded Mr Bush to go to war against Afghanistan and Iraq?
If all countries need a military, then which side is God on? My understanding of Old Testament wars, was that Israel was often the under dog, but that never mattered because God was with them.
Twenty thousand children die every single day as a result of grinding poverty, starvation and preventable disease. that is around seven million a year, or around a hundred million since 9/ 11.
Stop producing weapons and use this money to prevent the deaths of another hundred million children in the next fifteen years.
Of course, but like Mahatma Ghandi, he used the least harmful ways to challenge evil. Jesus could easily have used a sword instead of a whip against the money changers.
If Jesus needed a sword to demonstrate his message to mankind, he would have had one, of that I have no doubt.
Without human law there could have been no cross, no redemption, the law is upheld, preserved and administered by military force.
No military = no law
No military = no law
The law of God hangs and depends on the greatest commandments, God's law are just and fair.
Mankind's laws seem to favour the rich and powerful, hence they need the military to enforce their laws, because they are not so fair or just.

Who is in charge; God or man?
We absolutely NEED a strong military. What country do you reside in anyway?

You'll be okay as long as you have your "trusty hat" to fall back on.
How is a strong military going to prevent seven million children from starving to death each year?
However, if the military budget was spent on alleviating poverty, that would help.
How is Communism taking over the world gonna help the poor?
Without the might of the USA military, Communism would take over the world.
The American military seems to have world domination as its goal, maybe it is countries like Russia and China that stand in its way.
How does the military help us to live by the greatest commandments?
If you add, "...but fear itself," I will write it down.
You are on ignore, sir. Blessings.
