Exodus 23:27 -- "I will send my terror ahead of you and throw into confusion every nation you encounter. I will make all your enemies turn their backs and run."

Proverbs 21:15 -- "When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers."

I Samiel 15:2-3 -- "This is what the LORD Almighty says: `I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy everything that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.'"

Got any of those Amalekites passages for Christians?

Cordially,

Thanks for the scriptural history lesson.

How about some passages advising contemporary christians on how to conduct their lives? Something relevent today?

Apart from the fact that these references are few and far between in the Bible, there's the New Testament which represents Christianity today. The Old Testament, from which you quote (Exodus, Proverbs, Samuel) is mostly referred to in an historical context. There is no church anywhere today that uses those verses to define Christian behavior or preaches any form of violence whatsoever against non-believers.
