John 8:1-11
New International Version (NIV)
 
8 1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
 
2 At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. 3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4 and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” 6 They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
 
9 At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. 10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
 
11 “No one, sir,” she said.
“Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”

thread_title:  The Fruits of the Spirit as an argument for peace 

message: "Do unto others as you would have them done unto you."
I think people don't want war done to themselves, so why commit acts of war unto others?
As a concession, i was arguing more off of the silver rule: do not do unto others... However, the point is still the same.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.228.223.184 (talk) 18:00, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Jesus as the Prince of Peace 

message: I noticed in the history that this article formerly had a section on the pacifism of the Jehovah's Witnesses.  Why was that removed?  The Jehovah's Witnesses self-identify as Christian.  They base their religion on the Christian Bible.  They are a fairly well-known group.  Their condemnation of World War One lead to the imprisonment of their leaders.  There are 6 to 7 million Jehovah's Witnesses in the world, far more than the 50,000 or so Christadelphians (who are included in this article). And their refusal to serve in the military is well-known.   Should there be a mention of the Jehovah's Witnesses in this article?Credidimus2 (talk) 21:09, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

message: 1) Were there many Christian pacifists demonstrating against the Vietnam War?
2) Considering our current climate of world terrorism, are there examples of Christian pacifism in fighting the war on terror? Tyler Chinappi (talk) 23:35, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Vietnam War 

message: I am working on adding more to the section World War I as it pertains to Ben Salmon since there is more to his story that could be relevant to the article.  The article already listed the Nation Catholic Reporter (38) as a source, so I would like to use more facts from that source to add to the section.Tyler Chinappi (talk) 22:01, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  corrected my source citation from my previous addition to the Old Testament section 

message: After reviewing the article on Christian Pacifism, it seems as if it not only contains a ton of lengthy quotes, but there is a need for more substance behind those quotes.  Since the section on The Old Testament appears first, and I feel it lays the foundation for the article, I plan to add some research regarding the Old Testament perspective on war.  The roots of Christian pacifism lie within the Old Testament, but since wars did take place during that time, it is important to discuss the purpose behind the wars in ancient Israel.  Below are some of the research sources I have found and potentially might use.

message: User:Tyler Chinappi  a bunch of your edits are confessional, not encyclopedic.  am going to go through and make this NPOV. Jytdog (talk) 23:13, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I am a student in college, and this is for my Contemporary Christian Ethics class, so I am working on improving it daily until the assignment is complete.  Please be patient.  This is my first time publishing on Wikipedia, and we are required to do certain things such as move drafts to the mainspace, even though we are still working on editing them.  I am fine tuning and trying to get my section more neutral, and have asked for help from the Wiki editor assigned to my class.Tyler Chinappi (talk) 23:19, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: you are editing in mainspace. You do not, and cannot, own this article. I am going to make changes.  If you want to work in a space that is all your own, you can work in a WP:SANDBOX. Jytdog (talk) 23:37, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I completely understand.  I have been drafting in MY SANDBOX, but the classroom assignment required us to move our draft into the main article by Friday.  That is all.  The assignment is still ongoing for two weeks, while we continue to do final edits and make it as Wikipedia-like as possible.  I fully understand that I do not own the article, and I am certainly not trying to.  I welcome advice, changes and corrections since I am completely new to this experience.  I am constantly reviewing my contribution to make it meet all of the Wikipedia requirements. No need to get upset.Tyler Chinappi (talk) 00:32, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: neither your motivation nor mine matter; your schedule doesn't matter. Please stop discussing that stuff. you are just another WP editor, just like me.  Jytdog (talk) 01:49, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
