“Let the one whom has no sword sell his cloak and buy one,” I love Fidel as much as the next person, but Jesus was kind of based as well
Jesus' message is filtered to us through 2,000 years of being coopted by the Romans, British, Americans and others, but he was based in his day.
I feel that this is a misinterpretation.
The gospels, even more so the Gospel of Luke, where (I think?) that's from very much portray Jesus as a pacifist, even within the the context of that passage.
The very next line from the Gospel of Luke Chapter 22 verse 36 is
The usual interpretation of that passage, is that Jesus had His followers buy swords so that surrender would have meaning, and not simply be because they were incapable of fighting, or to fulfill the prophecy of Isaiah that he would be treated as the head of a band of brigands.
It was in no way a general call for Christians to arm themselves.
When, in the same chapter of the Gospel of Luke one of his followers did draw his sword at the arrest, and cut the ear of one of the pharisees, Jesus rebuked His follower and healed the man he'd attacked.
--Gospel of Luke Chapter 22 Verse 49.
You should change your sn to context :hasan-smash: ha ha, jk. I don't really know much about the gospels, I just thought it was some cold-blooded shit to say to a motherfucker before I popped a cap in his ass.
we even have audio-visual recordings of the guy and stuff he wrote.
