I believe a lot of these "pacifist" passages reflect the early Christian cult of martyrdom against the Roman Empire. Of course, once it became the Church of the Empire these ideas were dampened: "render unto Caesar." I remember a quote from some Roman governor/emperor along the lines of "these Christian Jews are mad - they desire nothing but death."
