===Christianity=== {{Main|Christian pacifism}} The basic Christian ideal specifies that [[peace]] can only come by the Word and love of God, which is perfectly demonstrated in the life of Christ: {{blockquote|Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.|{{bibleref|John|14:27|NIV}}}} As [[christological]]ly interpreted from {{bibleref|Isaiah|2|NIV}}, whereupon the "Word of the Lord" is established on the earth, the material human-political result will be 'nation not taking up sword against nation; nor will they train for war anymore'. Christian world peace necessitates the living of a proactive life replete with all good works indirect light of the Word of God. The details of such a life can be observed in the Gospels, especially the historically renowned [[Sermon on the Mount]], where [[forgiveness|forgiving]] those who do wrong things against oneself is advocated among other pious precepts. However, not all Christians expect a lasting world peace on this earth: {{blockquote|Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—a man's enemies will be the members of his own household.|{{bibleverse|Matt|10:34–36|NIV}}}} Many Christians believe that world peace is expected to be manifest upon the "new earth" that is promised in Christian scripture such as {{bibleref|Revelation|21|NIV}}. The [[Roman Catholic]] religious conception of "[[Consecration of Russia]]", related to the Church's high-priority [[Our Lady of Fátima|Fátima]] [[Marian apparitions]], promises a temporary ''world peace'' as a result of this process being fulfilled, though before the coming of the [[Antichrist]]. This period of temporary peace is called ''the triumph of the [[Immaculate Heart of Mary|Immaculate Heart]]''. Pacifist religious groups that are related to Christianity include [[Quakers]], the [[Amish]], and [[Mennonites]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-03-14 |title=Ukraine offers a middle path between just war and pacifism |url=https://religionnews.com/2022/03/14/ukraine-offers-a-middle-path-between-just-war-and-pacifism/ |access-date=2022-04-26 |website=Religion News Service |language=en-US}}</ref> These groups are known for advocating religious [[nonviolence]], and their adherents are often [[conscientious objector]]s.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |date=2021-12-31 |title=The military is the reason behind the 'Amish Beard' |url=https://www.wearethemighty.com/popular/military-formed-the-amish-beard/ |access-date=2022-04-26 |website=We Are The Mighty |language=en-US}}</ref>
