Would Jesus have armed himself with a gun to kill for a piece of Land?

Question

In reference to the Jews and Palestinians never ending fight for Jerusalem. What would Jesus have thought about Jews killing Palestinians for land?

Answer 1

Possibly, but not likely. He did arm himself with a whip and drive the money changers from the temple, we are told, so perhaps he felt strongly enough that he would go to war if he were around today. Far more likely, I think, would that he would become a mediator, and create a real settlement between the warring factions.

Answer 2

According to Bob Dobbs, yes. That's a joke for all of my fellow subgenii out there.

In answer to your question, what has Jesus got to do with the Palestinian conflict?

The fight is not about Jerusalem anyway. It is about mutual distrust, UN Security Council resolutions, war crimes, violations of the Geneva Conventions, etc. The issue over there is far more complex than Muslims vs. Jews, or who owns what land.

Answer 3

Israel belongs to the Jews and it always will belong to the Jews . Palistianians as you call them are from the Phillistines ,(Goliath was a Phillistine )and they have forever been trying to take the Land off the Jews , Muslims came here and killed some of us so maybe we should just give them New York and when that dont make them happy no more, we will give them all the Northern States / Jesus never would have to use a Gun he would just Speak

Answer 4

Well no. Of course he gave a command to love your neighbor. But Jesus with all his wisdom more than likely would have found a way to deal with Palestinians other than violence.

As Jesus told Pilate the Roman Governor, At his will he can bring (thousands) of angels to his aid.

Answer 5

Jesus is God, he does not need to arm himself. Men however, do need to defend what is theirs (the land was given to Israel by the U.N. in 1948) or risk losing it to others who would take it.
They are also fighting terrorist elements and have responded with the defense that has been unfortunately necessary.

Answer 6

makes you wonder about the stories of conquest of old testament and god's commands to slaughter all unbelievers

usually said by imams and priests, who then tell thier appointed king who then commands the armies, who then trust in the priest that god really did say it and we have the majority of history in that sentence

but somehow you can't fault a priest who says god said so, the blame gets shifted

I think the mythological Jesus would have made lots of bread and had a party

Answer 7

why will HE do that when HE can soften the heart of the
enemy. but yu know, in every conflict, there is always some lessons to be learned

Answer 8

Jesus wouldn't do that

Answer 9

Have you stopped beating your wife?

Answer 10

no he wants peace and is very peaceful
