I guess my earlier question stands, if worded slightly differently.
Which is of greater value, Jesus' saying bring peace and love to your neighbour, or the Old Testament condoning violence and sacrifice in the name of God?
Which of these would a 'true Christian' say is the more important, and ultimately, 'right'?

A Christian would love his neighbour, but a Christian's faith also has roots it cannot ignore. Those roots show that everything points to saving God's chosen ones; the Jews. To do this, the prophecies in the Book of Revelation need to be fulfilled, and these actions are just steps toward that. Ultimately, the goal is the Reign of Christ, so whatever gets us closer to that is 'right'.
