If one trully loves peace they will be willing to fight for it.

"thou shalt not murder" is the actualy og translation, and yes that is a huge difference

Constantine the Great, Alexander Nevsky, and Basil II would disagree with you.

Passivism VS Pacifism

I am not passive. I am a pacifist. In terms of: I do not seek warfare.
I am not passive: in the occasion warfare seeks me, I will not succumb on my own will.

[EnglishOrthodox]

I’m a strong believer in ‘Thou Shalt Not Kill’


But there’s nothing against severely crippling your enemy 😎🙏🏻

[n-tvfm]

Christians are not violent but we must defend the faith with full power and kick out those who make our temples bad as Jesus did💯

My Alexander Nevsky icon. Plus he's my patron Saint.

Something I struggle with understanding. To me it seems we are pacifist externally until it comes time to defend the Truth and ultimately get persecuted or die for exclaiming the Gospel.

God: led an army

Michael: basically the head commander of heaven’s army and folded satan like an omelet.

There are angels that work as the foot soldiers of heaven.

There where angels that fought in defense of others on earth.

St Andrew the commander, St Theodore Stratelates, and St Theodore Tiron as well.

St. George was the real life Dragonborn.
I have an icon of him killing the dragon near my bed.

Saint George is the patron saint of my native Orenburg Cossack host

Fight but distinguish from evil and take the high ground

[sk-fuck_adds]

Be calm but ready.dont go around trying to find problems but have the skill to protect yourself

First Lady Dolly Madison was a Quaker, which is a Christian sect known for its strong pacifist stance. However, in the case of Mrs Madison, she kept a revolver and a sabre under her mattress because she believed in giving as good as you got. So, I guess you could say she was a "tactical pacifist."

St Louis King of France, St Joan of Arc, the Knightly Orders. Also Spanish warriors have been helped in battle by Saint James the Apostle (who was seen riding among Castilian Crusaders). 🤝 Roman Catholics and Orthodox have more things in common than differences.

[melchiormeares]

The Orthodox Church does kind seem to have a pacifist view. That fighting is sometimes necessary but it has to be confessed and repented of.

If u own the world but loses your own soul, whats the point of conquering?

Not me, an Englishwoman, accidentally stumbling upon this on St. George's Day 2024. 😮😅 (IYKYK)
