For the religious types, Jesus Christ used violence at least twice in the Bible. He used a whip to drive the money changes out of the temple, which where I'm from constitutes felionious assault punishable by 4 years in prison. He also told Peter to sell his cloak and to purchase a dagger so that he could cut the ear of the roman soldier, which constitutes both conspiracy to commit and aiding and abetting the commission of assault with intent to do great bodily harmless less than murder, felonies punishable by 10 years in prison. He would also be subject to prosecution as a second felony habitual offender in light of his prior conviction for using the whip in the temple. If he was truly without sin as religious people claim, that would suggest that all violence certainly is not bad and that it is actually sanctioned by God himself.

No it was the RC church under a*hole emperor/pope that made Christians spineless BUT we are only allowed to DEFEND ourselves (which is what was meant by the US militia and bearing arms, it was based on this Biblical story).

And if God says go into all the highways and byways and preach the Gospel, if you THEN get attacked, prepare to self defend. If you are sitting at home watching Oprah, well, maybe stop blaming Jesus for your woes.

Organize into churches, prayer vigils with GUNS at the ready, that is the way you do it. And if they come for you? So What? Heaven is a better place.

STOP BLAMING WHAT MAN DID ON GOD! HE IS INNOCENT!

Of course! Why? Did God come down and show you otherwise? Are you that delusional? Do you believe the earth is flat??

The Reconquista waged against the Spanish Moors (Muslims) was conducted by Catholic soldiers under the banner of San Juan Matamoros aka St. James the Moor-Killer. The effort to drive Islam out of Spain was “mostly peaceful” by Old Testament standards though.

Exactly! It was SELF DEFENCE! Remove from their own land that was conquered! But the other side to it was the evil ones within the Vatican made deals with the Moors to allow them into the lands in the first place! You've got traitors (RINOs and Dimocrats) within your midst!

Yes I DID my research, not like your so called naval gazing research, idiot! NT showed that prayer and standing on God's word would release people from JAIL with angels (book of Acts) then the pope said, NAAH, believe your eyes, not what God had said.
