I, and others in this thread, think that is absurd and extremely convenient for you to do.

If by "others" you mean "other" (madnak), then okay.

When you say Christ's teachings, you ALSO mean everything in the OT, since he accepted all of it as true and legitimate.

I accept Isaac Newton's works as true. Are these my teachings now?
And even if it were impossible to separate someone's teachings from a text that was written thousands of years before (did I just write that?), it still hasn't been demonstrated that the Bible advocates unnecessary war.

Umm...are you claiming to be some sort of trinity-style physical manifestation of the spirit of Isaac Newton? Ok thanks.
EDIT: Oh and you had previously asked what parts of your posts I found to be intentionally misrepresenting things. This one is a great example. Madnak has stated SEVERAL times that he is unconcerned with whether the violence advocated by the Bible is 'just' or 'necessary,' and simply was asserting that it was strongly and obviously in favor of violence. And yet you CONTINUE to repeat, over and over, these phrases like 'just war' or 'necessary violence.' That is EXACTLY what I mean by intentionally misunderstanding.
