>> Sorry bud, but you just can't use the New Testament to justify vengeance and violence toward our enemnies. You'll need to find something else.

Sorry bud, but the bible says otherwise.

Ephesians 6:11-13 --Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil;

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

This was actually quoted in Barbara Olson's service this morning by the priest, and in the same context as you have used it. We must, indeed, put on the whole armor of God.

Ephesians 6:11-13 --Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil; For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

You forgot to read on in Ephesians. The next few verses describe what the armour of God is. Ephesians 6:14-17 (KJV) Stand therefore having your loins gird about with truth; and having the breastplate of righteousness.

And your feed shod with the preparation for the gospel of peace.

And above all, having the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

And take the helmet of salvation, the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God. So you see, the armour of God is truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and the word of God.
