In school, I was talking with an Assyrian woman about how our people need to defend their lands and that we need to be armed, she replied that it'll never happen because most Assyrians are Christian and the bible says "Thou shalt not kill"
I also know that the Bible has verses on war and justified killing but (for some reason) my brain didn't pull it up during the discussion...
in terms of the Assyrian churches, what is the exact verdict on "thou shalt not kill" ?
Does our Church mean it as "never to kill at all" ? or "do not murder" like other churches do?
If our churches mean it as "never to kill at all", wouldn't this ultimately cause our downfall?
