Can a Christian be a warrior?

The Torah is the entire old Testament plus a little, the Pentateuch is the first five books of the Bible. The Pentateuch is the guiding light of the Torah, where the laws and royal families are expounded.

David followed the laws of Solomon and the pre-Torahic form of Judaism.

Interesting, I've never heard that before. I was taught that the Torah was the first five books of the Bible which was the law that the Israelites followed.

Do you have a source for that? I couldn't actually find your information anywhere.

Hmmm. I am not a Biblical (or Hebrew) scholar, but I think the Torah IS the Pentateuch.

Correct. One is Hebrew and the other is Greek.

Correct. One is Hebrew and the other is Greek.

That's what I learned as well.

here's part... An Introduction to the Pentateuch

here's part.... What Are the Main Divisions of the Bible?

You need to broaden your reading and delve deeper into what you're taught. I was raised Catholic, but was given the freedom by my folks (Mom taught CCD, and I was in Catholic School for a bit) to figure out what I believed, and what others believed... Judaism, fundamental Christianity, Eastern Christian Orthodoxy, Gnosticism, Hinduism, Taoism, Jainism... and a few others... including... American Transcendentalism (Thoreau et al) My paternal Grandfather was an avowed Zwingli-ist.

The Torah is more than just the "law" portion of the Hebrew scripture, but most think it is THE Torah. for kabbalists, it is a minor portion of the Jewish theology.

This can expand at a later date.

Christian faith gave me strength to face eternity if is was to be God's will. Short answer, yes.

I believe at one point in the Bible Jesus himself instructs his followers to carry swords. So I'd assume so.

I typically do the sex part first, but we all have our own technique.

This. Sounds cheezy, but I'll add that my faith also drives me to do what I think is right and to do my part to help make the world a better place.
