I'm never ever looking for trouble but it finds me; who knows why?😳

"History tells us Jesus was one of our first non-violent revolutionaries."
Okay, but are we talking about the Jesus of history or the Jesus Christ of faith?
The Jesus of history was in fact revolutionary, yet i'm not buying that he was 'non-violent' against the occupiers of his time, the Romans.
If you are non-violent you don't break through the doors of the building housing the center of high-finance, threatening the money exchangers, over turning & kicking around the tables loaded with cash, and just shutting down the Wall Street of the time.

Also, if Jesus was nonviolent and led a non-violent movement, why were so many of his disciples carrying swords? Do yall think it was only St.Peter who was gangsta in the garden? Didn't Jesus instruct them earlier on to buy swords? Yall conviniently forgetting that part, right?! Lawwd.

Finally, why was Jesus crucified the way he was? Wasn't the crucifixion used particularly for those who revolted against the empire, EH?!!

All that to say, the Romans did not see Jesus as a non-violent revolutionary. It was only after his death did the white-washing of his militancy take place, and mostly it was by folks who were not around during Jesus' time. Amen

😆🤣😆...now please, in the spirit of Easter, don't shoot above the waist. Thanks.
