Quote:Where does the NT say such things?
The NT doesn't need to say such things because it built on the Tanakh. Without something specific by Y'shu Meshikha or the NT we can always assume that things were left unchanged.
Quote:Do no violence.
You're ignoring the context of Yokhanan's statement. The way you interpret it would make Y'shu a sinner for using violence.
Quote:I again like to see your verses Akhi.
You have Moshe and the Prophets. What more do you want?
Quote:Look at what Jesus said when Peter struck the guard!
So Y'shu said to Kefa, "Put your sword into the sheath. Shall I not drink the cup which My Father has given Me?"
Y'shu didn't rebuke Kefa for it, He only states something to the effect that this must happen to fulfill prophecy.
Quote:And yes, there was an "angry Jesus", but did He ever hit someone?
The below sounds like He actually used that whip of rope, and if didn't then He seemed willingly if the threat of it wasn't enough:
"When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers' money and overturned the tables." (John 2:15)
Quote:It is not my job to kill others. Or even to worry about such wordly things. It is my job to follow Jesus.
You worry about such worldly things on your website.
