You forget the part where Paul talks about the government and the responsibility it has. Even says they have the right to carry the sword.

I've always thought that the teachings of Christ applied to you on an individual basis. Turn the other cheek is a message to individuals and not to the government.

Is it fair to say that the military or the police are all going to hell because they are risking their lives in combat or out on the streets to protect us?

Is there such a thing as a Christian soldier? The world isn't black and white.
