The armor of God

There are many who believe that Jesus was a pacifist.  Qs I have written in the past, I believe that is a mistaken belief.  Briefly I'll summarize why and then I'll get to today's passage. 

One of the mail Scriptural reason I believe that is mistaken is that God and Jesus agree on everything.  There is no way you can look at the Old Testament and come to the conclusion that God is a pacifist.  Therefore it would be inconsistent for Jesus to be a pacifist and God not be a pacifist.  Remember, Jesus himself said "a house divided against itself cannot stand."
 

Secondly Jesus said among other things "I did not come to bring peace but to bring a sword".  Those are funny words for a pacifist to say.  I could give other example but you get the point.

So on the these verses from Ephesians

Ephesians 6:11-20(NKJV)

Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 

Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 

and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 

above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 

praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—

and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, 

for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

Notice first it says put on the armor of God.  It doesn't say put on the peace beads.  It also says "the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God".

Wouldn't it be odd for a pacifist to use such militaristic phrases.  Especially the second one.  The Word of God, the Bible, is described as a sword.  Do those sound like things a pacifist would say to you?
