If you follow the links here is the entire quote

When people come to me and they’re lobbying for ratcheting up some sort of bellicose policy towards one country, even if it's a bad country, I tell them that and when I read the New Testament, that when I read about Jesus, I don’t see him involved, he wasn’t really involved with the wars of his days. And, in fact, people rebuked him for not being [what] they wanted. They wanted somebody to stand up to the Romans. He stood up in a different sort of way, but he didn’t organize coalitions and guerrilla bands and arm them. Now I'm not saying that you shouldn't have people who want to defend against evil, bad forces around the world, but I think you need to remember that he was the prince of peace, you know, we’re talking about "blessed are the peacemakers," not "blessed are the war-makers."

Thank you. Still disagree with how he incorporated evangelical Christians into his comment, but it does provide context.

I would differ on this and so does the New Testament , as well as the Jews.

There's a good bumper sticker in this quote.
