See, the quote isn't never go to war. The quote is men would see war for what it is and say that vs. cheering it on and celebrating the destruction of God's creation. Christians should not be war mongers.

Jesus example doesn't make sense to the logical human mind. Why would love your enemy? Why would you turn the other cheek? But if you see that this life is fleeting, that God is on the throne. That Jesus is our example it does make sense. Jesus leads a revolution.

Spurgeon is hinting at something. That to many Christians trust in the might of man instead of the sovereignty of God. We have put our trust in armies. We have put our trust in men. Government and the might of our own hands. Or put another way. We are following Satan and not Christ.
