Sorry Tobin, you're taking Scripture waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out of context.
Christians were NEVER commanded to kill or make war. The early tribes of Judah were. Can't equate the two. Mt 26:"Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him. 51 With that, one of Jesus' companions reached for his sword, drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear. 52"Put your sword back in its place," Jesus said to him, "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword".
War, unfortunately, has a place in modern society, but let's not warp the Bible to justify the slaughter of innocents.
