One of the Ten Commandments is not to murder.
So how come, in the Bible, there are so many battles and wars? I know you've got to defend yourself when someone attacks.. But I thought Jesus preached love, not war.
I've asked my mom about this.. But all she said is; 'Murder is different to war'. But the thing is, I can't see how. I'm really at lost as to why Christians, the loving, forgiving religion, would lead so many battles?
I've been doing stuff about Richard the Lionheart in History and stuff (and I have a way biased teacher. She only shows the bad things Christians have done, and the good things Muslims have done. I've pointed this out to her several times, but she doesn't answer or pretends she didn't hear).
So I just want to know if anyone can explain the 'difference between murder and war.
Thanks?
