The History of Civil Disobedience

Christian writers who write about killing very specifically say Christians do not kill even in self-defense. Christian response is always, that's all you got. Jesus is going to raise us from the dead. That's your threat. You're going to take my life away. Go ahead. But for Christians, the resurrection is the key. So when they are presented with the option by the Romans, you either recant or in their way, their spinkies, or for a sacrifice on behalf of Caesar, or we kill you.
