Didn't Crist tell Peter to carry a sword and that's how he cut the ear off the palace guard?

If a Christian witnesses a robber jump through his house window
and tried to kidnap his daughter, how would you expect him to respond?
His response should match the teachings of Christ which commanded;
Now let's take your scenario and see how it works with this.
Romans 12:18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
I am sorry in no way would I just turn my cheek and wait for the modern Roman Guard (the Police) to come, No, I will violently fight for my home and child before any thief can take away. Anyone who turns a cheek to this so called scenario is a infidel.
1Ti 5:8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
Christians need to stop the whole "I hate Islam" movement. the Middle east IS AT WAR because of the interference of "Christian" nations and Israel. Fact.
No his response should and would be one of protection and responsibility.
(please don't forget the teaching of Christ in Matt 5 you quote is a preparation
for the Kingdom teaching for ISRAEL. It is applicable to them while living in the
millennial kingdom).

Sir I believe you have a comprehension problem. My statements are the exact opposite
to what you THINK I'm trying to convey. I made it plain that Christ Disciples are not
about WAR or killing their enemies. I could care less what the majority of
so-called Christians are doing. If they war with their enemies they are not of God.

Believe it all you want, I don't have a compression problem at all.

Matt 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you,
do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you,
and persecute you.
I've stated this before but it bears repeating. ONLY those who have the Spirit
of Christ have the willingness and ability to obey Christ teachings as quoted above.
It's impossible for the natural man to obey this teaching, since he does NOT
have the Spirit of Christ. You don't need a degree in Theology to understand
who's not of Christ, just look at their FRUIT.
Those who justify SIN, REBELLION and DISOBEDIENCE to Christ commandments
simply aren't His sheep. Christ made it very plain that you shall KNOW
THEM BY THEIR FRUITS. and those who seek to KILL their fellowman under the
notion they are DEFENDING some man-made Government treaty, law or principle
are expressing the FRUIT of their father Satan, who also is a destroyer.
What did Christ say to those who sought to KILL him?
John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye
will do. He was a MURDERER from the beginning, and abode not in the truth,
because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his
own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
This is one of the most diabolical doctrines that pervades Christendom.
A doctrine antithetical that totally contradicts Christ teaching. A doctrine
that makes Disciples of Christ who are supposed to be gentle into nothing
more than raving beast.
The so-called Christians that follow this practice are just to blind to the fact
that their acceptance of this philosophy that contradicts Christ teaching, has
influenced them to repeat the same behavior of the Hebrews and Romans that
killed Christ.
HOW MANY CHRISTIANS HAVE BEEN KILLED IN THE MIDDLE EAST BECAUSE OF THIS?
.
But Christians do need to stop hating every religion not Christianity especially Islam. Obviously not every Christian is guilty of this but a whole lot of slandering of Islam does emerge from Christianity.
Someone who responds to defend, or take revenge against their enemy does not have the Spirit of Christ.
1Ti_5:8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his
own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
