Ok Christian Church, what gave us the right to go to war?

Quote:

Galatians 5:14 For the whole law is summed up in a single commandment, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." ([N]RSV)

And again how the whole law is summed up in a single commandment. This is obviously the most important commandment of them all.

No. Love of God is. You will be idolatrous and in sin if you try to fulfill the second without the first, which is much of what humanism and other religions teach.

Matthew 22:35
35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

37Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38This is the first and great commandment.

39And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

40On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

In context, Galatians 5:14 is talking about part of the law, and it looks like circumcision, or putting a reign on your fleshy self. 13For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

"Thou shalt not murder"
Said nothing about killing. How could you have a concurrent law that allowed for the stoning of disrespectful children and not have an exception of just killing, which is not the same as murder/unjust killing.
Self Defense and the elimination of proven criminals have always been the exception to murder. That is why killing is ok, murder is not.

Absolutely correct. I made a mistake when I said that.

That isn't true. Most of the King James, especially the new testament, is a direct descendant of Tyndale's translation, who was murdered for translating the bible into English from the original languages, and whose prayer while he was burning at the stake was to have that bible.

Again, you are correct in saying much of the King James Version was translated from Tyndale's translation. He was tied to the stake, strangled, and his dead body then burnt. His last words were reportedly, "Lord! Open the King of England's eyes."

Another mistake on my part.... I apologize for this, please forgive me.

I was thinking about how the book of Revelation was translated into the King James Version. As I recall, that was from the Latin Vulgate.

Another verse on the trinity from the bible, per above:

Colossians 2:8-10
6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
