The Bible is full of contradictory messages.

Christianity itself is a religion of peace and does not endorse war. However, when Christianity became adopted by rulers, problems arose as the said rulers often wanted to wage war. The Christian philosopher Saint Augustine developed the idea of a "just war" but this was well after Biblical times.
