    Feel like the only time he got mad was at the money changers? I certainly don’t remember a sword…

      Matthew 10:34, New International Version “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.

      He says so Himself.

        If you take a look at the political situation today, would you say “I have come to bring peace”?

        Is that not an enlightened centrist take that gets duly criticized?

        But when Jesus basically says “No, fuck that. No compromises with these stale old fascists,” then suddenly all the keyboard warriors on the left act all shocked because he said “sword.”

        Kinda silly, don’t you think?
