Let's Give The Muslims A Day Off

[Pyrrho]

Can a person follow the teachings of Christ and seek to violently harm another person at the same time, in the same place, in the same respect? I thought logicians realized that was a contradiction centuries ago. Unless you're saying that Christ advocated violence, which is not a passage I have read. Can a person follow Muhammad and harm another person? Well, you do see what Mohammad allegedly wrote and how he lived. So, it kind of seems like a false equivalency to me.

You obviously never were a good Christian.  One does not have to resort to the book of Revelation in its discussion of the second coming and the day of judgement.  Here are the words of Jesus, according to Matthew 10:

34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.


It doesn't get much clearer than that.  There are also numerous times that Jesus seems to take a great delight in talking about how those who reject him will burn in hell.  The above is followed with:

35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.


All of that is, according to Matthew, the words of Jesus himself.

In Mark 7, Jesus criticizes the Pharisees for not killing children who do not honor their parents, as they are commanded to do in the Old Testament (Exodus 21:15, Leviticus 20:9, Deuteronomy 21:18-21); again, this is Mark 7:

9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:
11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.
12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;
13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.


Again, it is Jesus himself in this, not some other Bible personage.

In Acts 3, we have Peter saying (you can see that it is Peter from verse 12 and earlier):


22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.

23 And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.


So basically, all nonChristians are going to be executed.  This sound a lot like what ISIS does, except this is for Christianity instead of Islam.  This is something we can look forward to, when some Christians try to bring about Biblical prophecy.

Hebrews 11:

35 Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:


Torture will be used to help people get a better afterlife.

So, if one is really a follower of Jesus, one will be violent, and take up the sword.  That is what Jesus says.  Peaceful people can go to hell, for being disobedient.
