We are told to be merciful to the extent that we want mercy from God. 2. We are told to give revenge to the Lord. 3. We are told to do Justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with the Lord. 4. We are told that when we are sinless we can cast the first stone. 5. As we learn from the Good Samaritan, we are called to alleviate pain in anyone who our path crosses, as they are now our neighbor, who we should love more than ourselves. (This can be interpreted sometimes as pain from the recipient, but as long as it leads to restoration, then we are justified- such as interventions, jailing, etc…) Our war is “not against flesh and blood.” Christ never encouraged violence. He encouraged truth, love and mercy. -Now, as far as other religions. I haven’t studied them enough. Obviously, Satan can construe anything of God into a tool for his destruction and leading sheep astray.
