I doubt it'd be any different than the standard Catholic/Christian interpretation. The Hebrews weren't Jains.

This is standard human morality btw. It wasn't just the 10 commandments. In Hinduism there's a general "don't kill" rule but there's an obvious nuance to it. In the Bhagavad Gita Krishna bitch-slaps Arjuna for not wanting to kill righteously in war.

But we’re supposedly dealing with divine morality here (though Evolist wouldn’t call it that). It makes more sense to me that a divine commandment would be very straightforward & absolute, with no ifs or buts. But maybe that’s not how the Hebrews saw it.

You're assuming a sorta modern Sola Scriptura approach to the Old Testament, that's the problem. Those laws were didactic like a lot of ancient near eastern legal systems, it was flexible and could be amended & refined under certain conditions. That's Jesus' point on the law.

Yes,the most interesting thing about Christianity is its ‘impossibility’.How can one love all men?This strange demand, so impractical&contrary to human instinct,is what is fascinating.Only a few sects have really tried-Cathars,for instance.But even they couldn’t avoid waging war.

Loving your adversary does not mean not fighting him, it might even require fighting him

I disagree. The obstacles presented by worldly contingencies are part of that impossibility, which is what lends Christianity its otherworldly beauty. A saint would have to forgo fighting, allow himself to be killed if necessary.

Read the Metaphysics of War by Evola, although it does not deal exclusively with Christian doctrine, he was a 'traditionalist' after all

Evola was a self-described ‘Catholic pagan’, so I assume he had a unique viewpoint. Maybe he was similar in a way to Meister Eckhart, in that he attempted a synthesis of Christianity & paganism.

Evola? I'm not familiar with him being least bit sympathetic to Christianity or Dionysus cults. The only parts he likes were the functions of the Church during the Middle Ages (Crusades) but that's hardly a theological assessment. He did like some Gnostic & Johannine bits tho

He explicitly states Christ was a solar figure and that the Church rightfully crowned the Emperor, but he is also critical, but especially of protestant sects and modernist christianity

I know he wasn't anti-Jesus per se, he did like the Christ of John's gospel who said "ye are gods" and thought there was mystical potential there
