Contributed by Dan Cormie on May 5, 2008

Jesus tells us to turn the other cheek so that we will be "like your Father in heaven" but what about all that Old Testament carnage that He commanded? How does loving our enemies apply to the modern politics of war?

Contributed by Darryl Klassen on Mar 7, 2008
