    Wasn’t Jesus supposed to be like, a pacifist?

    Sometimes he was. (Matthew 5:9)

    Other times he was “if you don’t have a sword, sell your clothes to buy a sword” (Luke 22:36-38)

    .

    That’s the “great” thing about the Bible, its got enough cobtradictions that you can make it support pretty much anything you want it to.

      Yep. That’s how I convinced a doctor to graft a leg into the middle of my back, so I can use it like a kickstand when I get tired.

      Doc said no at first. When I told him Jesus said it was cool on page 148, he got me the best leg they had on hand!

      Gotta trust in Jesus kids, you just gotta!
