Did he kill them?

Christ is the judge of the world, and yet he did not kill anyone. He healed the ear of a man who came to arrest him. Unlike Muhammad, he did not call on his followers to kill anyone, but instead he asked that they lay down their lives, so that others might be saved.

I will tell you something. Pat is a representative of Jesus Christ. This is the position that God put him in. He is not the government, or the President. His job is different than those people. His job is to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. Only Jesus can change the hearts of people. But, how can they believe if they do not hear? It is not Pat's job to call for the killing of anyone. He has now ruined the witness of Christians in the area! He has made it much harder for the missionaries to do the Job God gave them to do! He has endangered their lives! The Lord rebuke him.

I will tell you another thing he has done. He has ruined any plans that the government may have had in respect to Chavez! He has rallied support for Chavez all over the world and increased hatred of Americans! These words have endangered many American's lives! Very foolish statements! Very foolish.

Still sounds a lot like a mullah.

"I will tell you something. Pat is a representative of Jesus Christ."

You make a lot of good points. However, it is my opinion that Christians are not required to refrain from fighting evil. War can be just. Is political assassination as an instrument of war, then, always unjust?

In WWII we read a Japanese message that told us where Isoroku Yamamoto was going to be, and sent planes specifically to shoot him down and kill him. Is this objectionable?

The ruling class, of course, would love to see political assassination placed out of bounds, but is that in the best interests of humanity?
