Unfortunately, Christians are dysfunctional…we are only human and struggle with the regular human conditions. At least we have a Lord that recognizes our weaknesses and forgives us, loves us and continues to be with us, unlike the “world” around us. In no way does Scripture endorse hatred and violence…there are fanatics with twisted views in ALL religions. Scripture only promotes LOVE-even for nonbelievers.

When I think about what the meaning of this beatitude is and its implications, it troubles me that the history of Christianity, as well as the actions of most Christians today don’t reflect this. What troubles me too is how the rhetoric of war and violence is used when preaching about the Good News. When I am told that I should consider myself a “soldier” of Christ, I deny that label. Christians need to be very careful about what they think about nonbelievers, as well as who a “real” Christian is, and how they should act, regardless of whether or not they think their actions are justifiable as they interpret scripture as endorsing hatred and violence.

When you said, “But it portrays a man who willfully and joyfully considers his own life worth nothing, when compared to the greatness of God”, I totally agree. It’s not about weakness but allowing God to work in and through our lives. Praise the Lord!
