To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But what has this case to do with war? Before it can touch the present question, you must prove, not only that Christ drove out the cattle with the cords, but actually killed their owners, since this alone resembles war ; and that his example, thus ex- plained, he left on record expressly for the guidance of govern- 7ut /. in settling their disputes ! ! We are reminded, however, of our duty to obey civil govern- ment as " an ordinance of God ; " and hence the alleged right and even obligation ...of Christians to engage in war at the call of their rulers. Now, there is not in all the New Testament a syllable that requires or permits us to disobey God at the bidding of our rulers ; and both Christ, his Apostles, and all his early disciples, uniformly refused, at the hazard of their lives, to obey any requisi- tion of civil government that involved disobedience to God. The question then returns, does the gospel allow war ? If so, then we may wage it at the command of our rulers ; but, if not, no human authority can make it right for us to do so.
