Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

Book of Revelations mostly. Basically a fanfic about how Rome was going to get wiped out and Christianity would get all their swag. Jesus does not come off as a nice guy in it.
Disagree with your assessment of Jesus being all about peace stuff.
-Matthew 10:34
Also fun fact, if you note every time someone has a sword than from the Baptism to the Crucifixion someone is always armed in every scene that involves more than one person.
You misconstrue what is being said in this paragraph. He is saying to not expect the path of Jesus to be easy and conflict-free, and infact it will divide people and even cause conflicts.
It isn't about what I say it is about how his followers understand it and have understood it. You are trying to argue that it is advocating a stance of holding on to your integrity. Fine go ahead and argue that. That isn't how it has been understood. It has been understood that it meant you are ordered to be violent to enforce his kingdom.
You know neurology has shown that the same part of the brain that is active when asked "what do you think of x" is the same part of the brain that is active when asked "what does your god think of x"? Just a fun little fact about that explains why everyone always has the "true" understanding.
Oh really?
Then what's this?
And this?
Also this
Yet more
Have I made my point yet?
Crusades and inquisitions, are we done yet or do you want to show me more blogs?
