How can anyone believe Jesus was/is a pacifist when he says?

Question

every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that he is Lord? He is going to be in charge of the greatest battle ever! Casting his enemies away into torment forever! Wake up to biblical scholarship!

Answer 1

Read your bible. Jesus never says that. Paul does, and he isn't talking about wars when he says it.

Jesus did proclaim the beatitudes though... the start of Matthew 5. I suggest you re-read his views on peace, as expressed there. It would be really unfortunate if you got an "I never knew you" when you say, "Lord, Lord" to him.

Answer 2

I'm not sure who said Jesus is a pacifist. I would never call him that. But what you are talking about is spelled out clearly in the Bible. It is the idea of "you reap what you sow". Christ is coming back for His true followers. But not until everyone has had a chance to accept Him. What particular piece of scripture you are referring to is not that Christ will make them bow down but that when we all finally meet Him we all will know that He is the "King of Kings and Lord of Lords" and will confess this before all. Now those who have chosen not to believe He is the lord and Savior by their own will, will be cast in to the lake of fire, not by Jesus but by they own actions. Thus "we reap what we sow" chose Jesus live in Heaven chose to deny Him cast yourself into the lake. The choice is yours. God Bless You

Answer 3

You must learn when to distinguish between literal and figurative. Also, who ever claimed the Jesus was a pacifist? Jesus was very aggressive. A man who walks the world performing miracles and spreading the gospel is in no way a pacifist.

Answer 4

Basics are required here. Jesus is our Lord, but even he has someone superior. His Father Jehovah God, or Almighty God, or LORD. In most Bibles, Almighty God's name, Jehovah [ YHWH/ the Tetragrammaton/ four letters...Exodus 3;13-15 & 6;3] has been removed and replaced with LORD, in the mistaken assumption that his NAME is too holy to use. This is wrong. If we regard God as our friend, we should use his personal name. Jesus asked us to use it. Of course always respectfully. When he was on the earth, Jesus always preached peace, but when Jehovah finally acts, it will be Jesus who rides out on the white horse as Jehovah's representative and rids the earth of wickedness. Since returning to heaven, Jesus has evicted Satn out of heaven to the vicinity of the earth. This explains why we have had so many problems since the turn of the century [ 1914] Revelation 12; (Revelation 12:7-9) And war broke out in heaven: Mi´cha·el and his angels battled with the dragon, and the dragon and its angels battled 8 but it did not prevail, neither was a place found for them any longer in heaven. 9 So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him.
(Revelation 12:12) On this account be glad, YOU heavens and YOU who reside in them! Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to YOU, having great anger, knowing he has a short period of time.”
But it is Jehovah who makes the final decision. Matthew 24;36 “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.

Answer 5

Please wake up to all of Jesus words...

"But if someone strikes you on the right check, turn the other also."

Would Jesus wants us to wage war if he taught us to take blows from our enemies?

"Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous."

Love your enemies? Is Jesus crazy? Or maybe very wise?

Finally:

"For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have?"

Answer 6

Half knowledge is more dangerous than no knowledge at all.
Kindly attend some catechism classes or try and do some research about what you speak.
