Can one who promotes violence, war be a Christian?

HUNTING:

Hunting for sport is a violation of
Jewish scripture.

Ezekiel 39:
Then I will strike your bow from your left hand and make your arrows drop from your right hand. (could be about
hunters or about militaristic actions
by the US regime .. or about
armed conflicts)

JESUS:

PETER PUT DOWN YOUR SWORD

THOSE WHO LIVE BY THE SWORD
SHALL DIE BY THE SWORD

LOVE YOUR ENEMIES DO GOOD TO THOSE WHO HATE
YOU

BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS (Sermon on the Mount)

TURN THE OTHER CHEEK

IF A MAN SUE THEE FOR THY CLOAK GIVE HIM THY COAT ALSO

LET HIM WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE John 8:7
(Jesus prevented an execution which was in progress)

WHATSOEVER YOU HAVE DONE TO THESE THE LEAST OF MY
BRETHREN YOU HAVE DONE UNTO ME (not meant to
imply that the foes of war profiteer dominated governments
are the least of Christ's brethren)

GOD:
THOU SHALT NOT KILL (not asterisked with exceptions)

REVENGE IS MINE SAITH THE LORD (not ours)

ISAIAH:
TURN THEIR WEAPONS INTO PLOWSHARES


THEY SHALL NOT HURT NOR DESTROY IN ALL MY HOLY MOUNTAIN

THEY SHALL STUDY WAR NO MORE

WOE UNTO HIM THROUGH WHOM
OFFENSES COME

Jesus has said we should not
be violent:
Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!” (Luke 17:1)

*
Matthew 26:
52 "Put your sword back in its place," Jesus said to him,
"for all who draw the sword will die by the sword."



Those militarists who try to argue that violence is a philosophy
of the Pacifist Jesus bring up the only passage in all of Jesus' gospels which is in any way violent, a passage in Luke in which Jesus tells His disciples to purchase a sword. When two have been
purchased He says they are sufficient and in effect that they
are a prop. It is one of these two swords that Peter used to
cut off the ear of one of Jesus' arresters. Jesus miraculously
replaced the ear and told Peter as recounted in Matthew to put down his sword, that those who live by the sword shall die by the sword.
Jesus only instructed the purchase of the sword to underline
later that it should be put down.

THE ELEVENTH HOUR WORKER

And on receiving it they grumbled against the landowner,
saying, 'These last ones worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who bore the day's burden and the heat.'
He said to one of them in reply, 'My friend, I am not cheating you. Did you not agree with me for the usual daily wage?
Take what is yours and go. What if I wish to give this last one the same as you?
(Or) am I not free to do as I wish with my own money? Are you envious because I am generous?'
Thus, the last will be first, and the first will be last."
