Christian Pacifism is incoherent

Hello, I seem to a bit busy this week and have seriously understimated the time that i had in my hand. Nevertheless, I will post a decent argument to avoid a complete forfeit. I would love to debate the same topic with you once again sometime after November if you are up for it. The argument you make are pretty interesting, but you seem to have a major misunderstanding of what Christianity teaches and seeks to achieve. To put it succinctly ,Christianity is one of the few religions that require non-violence even under severe duress.It is a religion that also boldly predicts an age(second coming) when we will live in total peace and when 'the lamb will lay down with the lion'. One of the distinguishing features of Christianity is that it teaches its followers to remain non-violent and peaceful even under extreme provocation and duress. Matthew 5: 38-45- " You have heard that it was said, "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth," but I say to you, do not resist him who is evil but whoever slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also, and if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat also. And whoever shall force you to go one mile, go with him two. Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you. You have heard that it was said, " You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy," but I say to you , love your enemy and pray for those who persecute you in order that you may be sons of your Father who is in Heaven, for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and unrighteous." Is just one of the many many verses that promote followers to remain non-violent even when the circumstances seem to demand violence. The greatest proof that Christianity requires pacifism is that Jesus himself often shunned his followers from committing acts of violence(Peter in Gesthamane), and chose not to lead a violent uprising as many expected him to do.Infact, he went one step further, and explicitly forgave all those who were responsible for brutally crucifying him, even though he was completely innocent of the things he was accused of, and never asked anyone, even God the father to avenge him. Christ set the highest example for all Christians to emulate as he is believed to be of one substance with God himself.Almost all the martyrs and saints who are revered in Christianity were pacifists. Any belief system that does not include pacifism directly contradicts scripture,the example set by Jesus and the Apostles, and cannot really be considered Christianity. It may tolerate violence under a certain set of extreme conditions, but true Christianity never openly promotes violence. Also, You have simply assumed that all human societies require at least some violent actions.This assumption is completely unfounded and is diametrically opposed with the aims of Christianity. Christians not only aim to build a society that is both just and completely non-violent, they are actually sure that such a society will come up after the second coming of Christ. A society in which everyone seeks to be as non-violent as Jesus, or atleast try to be like him, and are as forgiving as him does not really need any violence to function.There is little need for a government to allow for any form of violence of the civilians are easily willing to forgive any sort of loss, do not seek any form of hoarding or possession, and seek only their basic needs for survival for that day. This may seem impractical, but this is what Christianity teaches. Whether christianity is a rational religion is the topic for another debate, but Christianity is not inconsistent To conclude: 1. Christ demanded that his followers remain peaceful and non-violent even when provoked and lead by example. 2. An Ideal christian society, where everyone is as non-violent as Jesus does not require violence on any level. 3. The aim of every Christian is to imitate Christ in every way. 3.Thus, Christianity can require complete pacifism, tolerate a small amount of violence for self preservation until all societies follow it(Eg. Contingent Christian Pacifism) Hence it is obvious that pacifism is a necessity if one wants to call oneself truly christian. Thank you, Cynical Diogenes
