Jesus was with the shyts. Dude was leading a rebellion against the Romans. You know he smacked a few folks up and cracked a few heads
Dont believe that story bout him dying for your sins and being non violent. Jesus was fighting for righteousness and exposing truth
Those can both be true at the same time. You can fight for righteousness, expose the truth, lead a rebellion, and still be nonviolent.
The People Power Movement kicked Dictator Marcos straight out of the Philippines. He came with the tanks and they made the tanks fall back cause his own soldiers just refused to go against people who weren't fighting back.
January 25 Revolution kicked the dictator Mubarak out of Egypt. The military refused to back him because the people were too unified and he had to give up.
Southerners in the 1950s/60s were more brutal than they'd been in decades. They had ZERO desire to remove Jim Crow or respect Black rights. Yet Martin Luther King Jr. DEMANDED those rights without ever having to kills a soul.
British were savages - killed 1500 unarmed Indians in the Amritsar Massacre. Yet Gandhi still shoved them out of India with their tails between their legs while maintaining nonviolence the entire time.
Jesus was not weak. Jesus was far more forceful and commanding than the sheep pictures make him look. Jesus wanted nothing less than to flip the entire Jewish leadership and then watch the Roman empire fall next. But he wanted to do it in such a way that his followers wouldn't become the next evil leaders in their place. Nonviolence is the only way to defeat the enemy without becoming the enemy.
