You are absolutely right. It is not biblical. Also, the photo was not from Chuck, but was added from me, the editor.

As you are likely aware, there is an essential difference from “lethal self-defense” and what is happening now in this “war on terror” however. The grand irony in this discussion is that Iraqis are not our enemies in the sense that they pose any danger to Americans that should lead us to war…so are more deserving of love than killing…and with this explanation, I think I’ll leave the photo in place.

Thank you for your insight.

I believe I fully understand what you’re trying to convey in your article. However, I believe you err with the inclusion of a photo of a sign reading “Christians cannot love their enemies and kill them too”, although the last two words are somewhat obscure.

The implication of the inclusion is Christians should NOT engage in wars or other potentially lethal acts of self defense. If this is what you mean to imply, you would be wrong from a Biblical perspective.

Please clarify
With much respect
