Of course, Christ’s emphasis on love is sometimes perceived to imply that he was a pacifist who condemned all violence and war. But this is a misunderstanding.
A close look at the Bible will show that Jesus Christ was not a pacifist and will demonstrate that he approved of the justified use of deadly force.

Jesus Christ was not a pacifist and it is sometimes necessary to respond to evil with force. But why and when is force right and when is it wrong? Through the Bible there are several key principles to answer this question.
The right to life. All through the Bible it is assumed that individuals have the right to life. For instance, Exodus 20:13 says, “You shall not murder.” The reasons we cannot murder is because God says so. But the reason he says so is because he has given us the right to live. This right to life implies the right to self-defense. If we should not be murdered, then we are justified in preventing someone from killing us. This is shown throughout the Bible.
Jesus Christ both permitted and commanded his followers to be armed.
“He said to them, ‘But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one’” (Luke 22:36). Now that the apostles had learned the lesson of trusting in God (Luke 10:4), they were to be prepared to defend themselves as they traveled through dangerous areas to take the gospel to the whole world.

A Deltona man and teenager used their neighborhood as the testing ground for highly corrosive homemade acid bombs, deputies said.

Volusia County Sheriff’s Office investigators said 25-year-old John Wells and 15-year-old tossed the explosive chemical cocktails at several homes on Worthington Drive and Stanton Street, including the houses of a Volusia County deputy and Lake Mary officer.

“It doesn’t appear the suspects had specifically targeted the law-enforcement officers,” Gary Davidson of the Sheriff’s Office said.

Reports show the patrol cars of the law-enforcement officers were not at their homes when the suspects allegedly hurtled the acid bomb.

A bomb squad detonated an explosive device found near a public park in Orange County, southern California on Monday, July 21 2010.

About a dozen homes were evacuated and a street was closed as authorities removed the device, the report said. After receiving a report that a device was found near Yorba Regional Park, Orange County police dispatched the bomb squad to the scene, and the squad successfully dismantled the device, the report quoted police Sgt. Rick Martinez as saying.

Martinez said the device had been there for hours before it was reported at 2:30 p.m.(2130 GMT).

The device was made with a substantial amount of explosive powder in a five-gallon water jug, sealed off with tape and then had a fuse placed in it, Martinez said.

The fuse was lit at some point, but it did not detonate, he said. It might be the work of one or more pranksters, according to preliminary investigation. The Orange County bomb squad detonated a portion of the device without setting off the powder so they could render the explosive inert, Martinez said.
