Consider Deut 20:10-15. What's the take-home "principle" Jesus wants us to learn from this wise law?

Christians are engaged in a spiritual warfare (The Bible is quite clear on this) when we are declaring abroad the excellencies of the one who brought us out of darkness into his wonderful light, we first say to the household, have peace. If they accept the peace they may become slaves of the Christ even as we are slaves, if not, then they remain enemies of God and may see retribution at the hands of God.
This is rather interesting for Christ himself states that the good news is like a sword which divides people. I mention this because the perception among nominal Christians is that Christianity is all inclusive, which is Biblically a nonsense, in fact its entirely exclusive and only for those who are willing to become 'slaves', of the Christ.

I don't understand why you cannot do your own research and suspect that you are merely trying to be contentious (although hopefully I am wrong), which is a great pity for I thought that the discussion was rather fruitful up until this point.
