| I think it's telling that....
Jesus said (in a parable, but he seemed to approve of the notion), 'But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.' (Luke 19:27) This, coupled with Jesus' promise to bring division, his hypocrisy regarding the Pharisees, and his treatment of the money-changers, sort of gives the lie to the idea that Jesus eschewed violence regarding people who didn't like what he had to offer. Not a particularly good moral model. |
