The Christians are always pushing what they suppose to be peace&love verses at us. What would happen to a Christian nation if it came under serious oppression and perhaps even full war? Would they survive without the help of the disbelievers who can "raise the sword"?

Nice deflection......once again.......:sigh:Don’t worry about them. They have been among the most aggressive and violent religions in world history. They would be fine.
It's great, but we're talking about the hypothetical situation of a Christian nation being under severe oppression.The best defense against oppression is democracy.

No. A hypothetical nation that follows the Christian principles. A nation filled with Christians who follow Christian principles.If you are assuming America is a Christian nation, you are wrong. The US is a secular nation. It is no more Christian, by it's own constitution, than it is Islamic, Jewish, or what. Some clarity from you will help to give an answer that you demand.

God doesn't see anythng wrong about defending your property, either!
Exodus 22
2 “If a thief is caught breaking in at night and is struck a fatal blow,
the defender is not guilty of bloodshed;

However, I'm not worried about them. It's a coherent, practical question. Answer it.
:roll:I don't see how some favored book' opinion can be said to be of God.
Or that your interpretation of such a verse's purport is of God.
Albeit, your above simplification indicates a position.
The Bible is a code of ethics and philosophy by which many may come to similar conclusions.
Not as a whole, but I dare say I'm quite familiar when compared to your average Christian.Have you ever read the Bible?

Not as a whole, but I dare say I'm quite familiar when compared to your average Christian. No.

Luke 22
35 Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?”
“Nothing,” they answered.
36 He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag;
and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.
