Preventing the Death Penalty When a Woman was Caught in Adultery John 8
Could this be interpreted as pacifism? I got this from http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+8%3A1-11&version=NIV If this has violated any copyrights, I apologize
John 8:1-11
New International Version (NIV)
8 1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. 3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4 and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” 6 They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9 At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. 10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
11 “No one, sir,” she said.
“Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.” 98.228.223.184 (talk) 18:13, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
That passage is generally recognized as being spurious, as it does not appear in any early Greek manuscripts of John. Allegro ma non troppo (talk) 21:23, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
The Fruits of the Spirit as an argument for peace
New International Version (©1984) Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

The Golden Rule
"Do unto others as you would have them done unto you."
I think people don't want war done to themselves, so why commit acts of war unto others?
As a concession, i was arguing more off of the silver rule: do not do unto others... However, the point is still the same.
