Violence and Christianity "If Christians love their neighbors, he will not fight." There are many arguments to agree and disagree. The Bible tells Christians that they should not fight.
Christianity is not a stranger of persecution. It is at the beginning of our history, never has passed. However, in most cases aggressive violence against American Christians is not common, at least not in our church. But nowadays, disgusted cauldrons are cooked in front of us, so they are stirred earlier, those bitter beers splash against us, those who are angry and angry are losing sight of the way. All responsible. incorrect. Some people choose politicians. Several people choose an innocent concert audience. Now it seems that some people are picking people with faith.
Christians have different views on time violence and nonviolence. In present and in history, Christianity has four views and practices regarding violence and war: nonresistance, Christian pacifism, Justice war theory and Crusades (Holy War or Preventive War). The early church of the Roman Empire adopted a non-violent position during the war. Because it is desirable to mimic the life of Jesus' sacrifice. The concept of "war of justice", restricted use of war, is thought to be tolerated, it is derived from Romans and Greek thinkers such as Cicero and Plato who are not early Christians . This theory was later adapted by Christian thinkers like Saint Augustine. And, like other Christians, he borrowed most of the reasons for Roman writers like Cicero and Roman law. The concept of "jihad", the fight itself, may be regarded as a form of confession and spiritual feat, not appearing before the 11th century.
