not ignorance meerly looking to get a stir in the populace, unfortunately only one biter. Sorry the bait wasn't as flamboyant as fr0d0's .
1.If you're referring to the flogging parable in Luke 12:45-48 then read verse 41 as well which clearly states it's a parable and if read in it's entirity clearly shows the message of being patient and ready.
There was obviously slavery at the time, but I am not aware of any instance where Jesus had payed slavery much thought other than using day-to-day life as a parable for the people.
2. Revelations is a post Apostolic piece of literature. John Patmos’ “Revelation” is a hallucination he received while in a trance. It is a detailed prediction of the future. It was debunked early in the church by Eusebius in his detailed history of the Christian Church (c. AD 324; see his comments on "Revelation" at Eusebius 3.25). It's a large contradiction on all of the previous books before it which all (fairly uniformly) teach similar values to the accepted one's of modern Christianity. Revelations speaks heavily of salvations through works and actions, which is direct opposition to the Christian doctrine.
3. Are you reffering to the historical texts of the Vedic religion, talking about Ahisma, dated to 8th century BCE? I know of no earlier references. If you have some please site references. I don't believe their phraseology(?) is the same so if you can site references of someone earlier stating to "turn the other cheek" again please cite.
