To establish his kingdom, Christ did not form a military system parallel to the powerful Roman army. He could not preserve himself. He was killed. But, he rose, and lives. New forms of militant movements in Christianity may preserve what they like in 'Christianity.' But they will not lead to a risen experience of the Church.
Militant Christianity may support or justify war, side with warring nations. War is a sin. Who minds? The militant ideologies of Christendom is their gospel; a gospel devoid of Christ.
What does it profit if, one day, Christianity wins the whole world, and has no Christ in it?
