The early Christians were consistent about "thou shall not kill."

And yet the Church has taken great pains to elaborate the doctrine of the just war. Things are not as simple as they evidently appear to Petronius.

[Petronius]

I was the one who said it evolves and adapts to its environment. When you don’t have the power to kill, you preach pacifism; when you do, it’s time for “Just War Theory.”
