I commend this article entitled: Should Christians Fight? from Plain Truth Magazine.
It surveys the different views that have come down through the ages.
Mark
"Does loving your enemy mean not punishing him? No, for loving myself does not mean that I ought not to subject myself to punishment -- even to death. If one had committed a murder; the right Christian thing to do would be to give yourself up to the police and be hanged. It is, therefore, in my opinion, perfectly right for a Christian judge to sentence a man to death or a Christian soldier to kill an enemy."
- Mere Christianity
