You are told to love your enemies in the Bible. That doesn't preclude killing them. Nor does it require acceptance of wickedness.
And yes, anyone can be saved. If they choose repentance. But that's between them and God, not between opposing soldiers of the upcoming war.
Loving your enemies means giving them the chance to be shriven before you cut off their head. It doesn't and has never meant not fighting back.
sin is sin
While correct, you're incorrectly equating the human condition of being a sinner with being one of the wicked. That is a protestant heresy that I do not espouse or adhere to.
No, protecting the flock from the vile depredations of demon worshipping baby murderers will get someone into heaven. Engendering a decent, civilized, God fearing society will get someone into heaven. Living a good life and refusing to bow to the wicked, even if it means you have to fight them, will get someone into heaven.
You know what won't? Sitting on your hands.

You should check again.
All this foolishness over a simple mistranslation. The Bible doesn't say thou shalt not kill. It says thou shalt not commit murder.

We're not talking about killing Christians. Arguably we aren't talking about killing humans.
We're talking about killing leftists.
