Jesus was a Terrorist

in jesus •  6 years ago 

I really liked this post, and I agree Jesus has been watered down to a Hallmark Card many times.

I don't agree he is a terrorist though.
Here is the definition of terrorism from dictionary.com

the use of violence and threats tointimidate or coerce, especially forpolitical purposes.

Jesus did cleanse the temple, but did not advocate violence. Judas may have hoped to push Jesus to violence by betraying him, but the opposite happened. Jesus submitted himself to torture and death, right after rebuking Peter for drawing his sword.

Jesus was also non-political. He paid his taxes to Caesar, and the Romans clearly did not see him as a threat.
Just my two cents, thanks for a thought provoking post?
