Yes. But where are the authors getting;

"Jesus taught “when killing is without cause, it is unlawful, but when killing is with just cause, it is lawful.”

The New Testament offers many examples of Jesus helping those in need, but as far as I know, it has no examples of Jesus encountering an aggressor who is in the act of physically harming an innocent victim.

It brings up the question that was popular not too long ago: What Would Jesus Do?

I wish there was such an example, because it would clear up a lot of confusion.

I tried googling the topic, but got nothing.

I’m guessing the book itself cites the Bible passage for this, which the article neglects to mention..

More than one was acceptable too.

They might get a more modern translation:

“You see, in this world there’s two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig.”

[Yosemitest]

Who was Jesus before He was Jesus? Read john 1:1-16.
Who was Melchizedek ? Read Hebrews 7.
How did Jesus, through His Holy Spiri,t handle Ananias and Sapphira; did He forgive and forget? Read Acts 5.
Did Jesus allow the woman taken in adultery to be stoned, or did he stop it? Read John 8.
Did Jesus "turn the other cheek" to the den of thieves in His Father's Temple? Read Matthew 21, Mark 11, and John 2.

When Jesus returns, the time of "turning the other cheek" will be over.
Take a look at just how long "the house of Israel" shall be burying the dead that Jesus, the LORD, the Holy One, will have killed. Read Ezekiel 39.

Are you beginning to understand?
