Enough of this Empty Lies and scandalized Christianity! Christian holy War Is a Part Of Its Holy Faith.

A violent, fanatical and extremely reckless horde of Muslims ( Not the good Muslims here, but the extremist) are marching toward your neighborhood. When they arrive they will massacre your people, and ruthlessly torture you, very slowly. They will make you watch your wife being raped, and then force her to watch you die, and there is a chance that they will make her drink your blood after your terrifying death. What are you going to do?

 This is why Christian militias have been rising in those parts of the world where the lives of the saints are sought out by the ruthless and sneaky foxes we call Extremist, who connivingly seek out the defenseless.

Making a coward of themselves. But Making a hero of killed defenseless people. Let every countries Christian Militias rise up and defend Christianity. 

There is a beautiful story, in which a force of Syrian Christian fighters in the Jdeideh area of Aleppo drove out the Muslims who were there to attack their churches. One Christiansaid of the victory:

The FSA were hiding in Farhat Square in Jdeideh. The Church committees stormed in and cleansed the area.

How reminiscent is this story, of Christ, armed with a whip, cleansing the Temple of the thieves! and now the saints, armed with their weapons, purge their land of these robbers of men’s souls!

Sadly there are Christians in America and other parts of the world, conditioned by comfort, who denounce such glorious feats. These are those who follow the gospel of uselessness, and would probably stand up courageously against anyone who would criticize some celebrity idol pastor like Tim LaHaye, while condemning these poor Christians for fighting back.

Enough of this empty, lifeless, and scandalized Christianity, this heresy that is determined by fashion and convenience! Let us see what truly Christianity is about, and how Holy War is greatly a part of this holy Faith.

John the Baptist told the soldiers who approached him, “Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.” (Luke 3:14) Tell me, if he was opposing military service, why then would he tell them to “be content with your wages”? This can only mean that it was permissible for them to remain as soldiers.

And by “violence,” John is referring to injustices, and thus in a Christian war, the cause must be just, and never for the sake of killing or tyranny. It must be a war in which the saints are fighting against evil men, bent on persecuting and slaughtering the Church in the advancement of an evil ideology.

As St. Maximus of Turin, commenting on these words of John the Baptist, writes:

For it is not a sin to be in military service, but it is a sin to soldier for the sake of plunder (1)

When a young man informed St. Paul that Jewish bandits were determined to kill him, did he say, “I will stay put and let them kill me, since we do not fight against flesh and blood”? No, he had the story reported to the chief captain, who in turn had organized 470 Roman warriors to protect Paul:

And he called unto him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night; 24 And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor. (Acts 23:23-25)

If any one of the Jewish bandits arrived to try to kill Paul, the soldiers protecting him would have not hesitated in slaying the attacker. And Paul would not have had a problem with this.

If St. Paul can use an army to protect himself against persecutors, the Church, then, is justified in using armies to protect itself against any pagan or heretical group which seeks the blood of the saints.

And how can one avoid the militancy of Christianity after reading St. Paul, when he praised the past and illustrious battles of God’s people:

And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions. Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. (Hebrews 11:32-34)

To subdue the kingdoms of the wicked heathens, wax “valiant in fight,” and turn “to flight the armies of the aliens”, or the persecuting invaders, is not a sin, but a ripe and righteous fruit.
