Again, the message of the entire New Testament is Christians not taking up violence against their enemies. The only example provided is Jesus rebuking Peter for doing so.

But you are twisted. What Jesus did in that rebuke was lost upon you.

Luke 22

49 When those who were around him saw what was coming, they asked, “Lord, should we strike with the sword?” 50 Then one of them struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear. 51 But Jesus said, “No more of this!” And he touched his ear and healed him.

Matthew 26

51 Suddenly one of those with Jesus put his hand on his sword, drew it, and struck the slave of the high priest, cutting off his ear. 52 Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place, for all who take the sword will die by the sword.

“In disarming Peter, Christ disarms all Christians.” –Tertullian

Jesus rejected talionic vengeance.

Matthew 5

38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ 39 But I say to you: Do not resist an evildoer. But if anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other also.
