love of God means listening to his son Jesus . luke 9;35For Love of God and "neighbor", enough to lay one's life down defending that "neighbor". Yes you are correct. That is God's way for Christians.
Um, taken into proper context, Jesus said that because Peter just got done lopping some poor unarmed bastard's ear off, being the rash fool that Peter was...love of God means listening to his son Jesus . luke 9;35
And a voice came out of the cloud, saying: "This is my Son, the one that has been chosen. Listen to him.
"Return your sword to its place, for all those who take the sword will perish by the sword. matthew 26;52

Um, taken into proper context, Jesus said that because Peter just got done lopping some poor unarmed bastard's ear off, being the rash fool that Peter was...

Yeah, he was telling Peter his actions were not proper for the situation. He didn't tell Peter to drop his sword. He was saying "don't use it where it isn't required". If he wanted Peter to forego a weapon he would have told Peter to drop it, he wouldn't need it. But earlier in the Gospels Jesus is specific about keeping and bearing the sword when needed.yes peter thought he was doing the right thing , after all he was trying to protect Jesus. but Jesus put him right didnt he .
Violence directed against individuals—whether they are good or bad—is not the way of love. so people who resort to violence belie their claim to be acting in imitation of a loving God.
True religion must follow a pattern of love, which includes showing love even to enemies
Yeah, Jesus put him right alright. Peter denied Christ three times within a matter of hours.yes peter thought he was doing the right thing , after all he was trying to protect Jesus. but Jesus put him right didnt he .

or even ,mee has not lost the focus of Jehovah and his son Jesus christ. but mee keeps right on waving that symbolic palm branch .Yeah, and it's all on mee...
if a person listens to Jesus they would not be part of the warring nations.If you are driven by love and peace... Can you be neutral?
