The men you mention in the Old Testament weren't Christians
Christianity is not a pacifist religion.
People love to twist “turn the other cheek” as if Christ was telling His followers to be weak, timid and helpless in the face of evil. He wasn't. Christ was teaching self-control, not cowardice. It was about personal humility, not surrendering your home, your people or your faith to wickedness.
Christianity has never been pacifist. The Old Testament is filled with men of God who fought for righteousness: Joshua, David, Gideon and the Maccabees. The New Testament does not erase that reality. When Paul wrote that rulers “bear not the sword in vain,” he made it clear that force, rightly used, is ordained by God to punish evil and protect the innocent.
The great Church Fathers understood this. Augustine and Aquinas both taught that a just war is not sinful. A Christian can, and sometimes must, fight when justice and the innocent are under attack. That is not bloodlust. It is duty.
Loving your enemy does not mean surrendering to him. It means refusing to hate him even as you stop him. There is a difference between mercy and moral suicide.
Christ Himself was meek before His Father, but never before evil. He rebuked hypocrites, overturned the tables and spoke truth without compromise. The modern idea that Christians should sit quietly and let wickedness prevail is completely foreign to Scripture.
In Revelation, Christ returns not as a pacifist but as a conquering King. His robe is dipped in blood and He rides forth with the armies of heaven. That is not a soft gospel. It is judgment and victory.
Today, many have confused meekness with weakness. Too many churches preach surrender in the name of peace. But peace without righteousness is corruption. Evil does not stop because you smile at it. It stops when men of faith stand firm.
Christianity calls for courage, discipline and the defence of truth. It calls men to be warriors of light, not cowards hiding behind a false peace.
Christians are not called to live quietly beneath the boot of wickedness. We are called to resist evil, stand for what is right and remain faithful to Christ, the Lamb who will return as the Lion. 🏴

Selling social housing at a discount, and not even giving local authorities the revenue generated, and instead saying let’s spend infinity money on housing benefit, was ‘sound’ policy?
On what planet?
Andy Burnham is Corbyn in disguise - seeking to reverse reforms + sound economic policies brought in by Thatcher & continued by Major, Blair, Brown & Cameron. Burnham says he wants to overthrow “neoliberalism” dating back to the 80s. He wants to turn back the clock 40+ years!

The issuer of that vile statement is a man, as anyone with even 1% vision could tell you. Specifically, he’s a man who said he hoped she died handcuffed to a bed and screaming in agony.

I think if, in the week after Jo Cox's death, the BBC had invited an activist on to say that Jo was bad for believing in immigration and that Brexit supporters were the real victims, that activist would have been shamed into hiding if not emigrating. This is grotesque
A ‘queer environmental activist’ describes Ann Widdecombe apparently being bludgeoned to death in her own home as ‘quite a sad way to go out’, launches into a statement about what a bad person she thought Ann was and says many people won’t grieve for her.

"If this warfare is successful, that is if all the Indians are butchered, a grand extent of country will be gained for the production of cattle".

The Falklands have been British longer than Argentina has been a nation.
And if the Falklanders were “artificially implanted” then what exactly does that make argentines in Argentina?

Oh no. An effigy.
Meanwhile your comrades in arms incinerated 12 innocent people by firebombing the La Mon hotel.
Yet you say there was no alternative.
Sit down. There’ll be no lectures taken from the likes of you.

The reason why the name Muhammad tops the list of boys’ names is very simple. This is a long post to explain it because some people struggle to understand basic maths.
Imagine 10 boys are born in a town:
3 boys are from Muslim families.
7 boys are from non-Muslim families.
The 3 Muslim families choose different spellings of the same name:
1 boy: Muhammad
1 boy: Mohammed
1 boy: Mohammad
That’s 3 different boys with the same name spelt differently.
The other 7 boys are:
1 boy: Noah
1 boy: Leo
1 boy: Luca
1 boy: Theo
1 boy: Oliver
1 boy: Ethan
1 boy: Elijah
The name Muhammad appears as the most common. It does not mean that most boys have that name.
In this example, 7 out of 10 boys are still not named Muhammad.
In reality, around 5,000 children are named Muhammad out of roughly 220,000 boys born.

It looks like it will be Nige vs Count Binface, to the childish glee of every Radio 4 comedian and Remoaner on the internet.
Well, I'm not laughing. I think the parties are behaving abominably. Their choreographed retreat smacks of moral cowardice.
This is a collective abdication of the first duty of a party, which is to contest elections, to disseminate ideas, to try to win the hearts of voters.
The parties think they're getting one over on Farage but in truth they are grossly insulting the good people of Clacton, whose views and votes they clearly couldn't give a toss about. They are cruelly depriving these working-class seasiders of choice. It is obscene.

Admiral Lord West arguing that welfare is not an important issue because we are apparently going to lose a war against Russia, whose stormtroopers will then maraud down our streets raping and killing people.
Ridiculous levels of hyperbole.

These are just a fraction of the insults directed at @michaelgove by @UKLabour and its activists during his time as Education Secretary. All this pearl-clutching from Labour MPs in relation to @KemiBadenoch's row with @bphillipsonMP is pathetic. They need to get over themselves. @bphillipsonMP's class war has caused school closures, cost people their jobs and messed up the education of countless children, many of them with special needs. She deserves to be called out for it. 'Spiteful class warrior' is the least of it.
