Jesus was a nonviolent resister of Rome, that is why he alone, and not his disciples was executed. That was a standard practice for non-violent resistance movements. Kill the leader, and the flock will disperse. Violent resistance movements on the other hand, both the leaders and the followers were rounded up and crucified.

So no, Jesus was not violent. And yes, he was like Ghandi, a non-violent resistor. You know nothing.

No, Jesus was not like Gandhi. He came to establish the Kingdom of God. Rejected, He went to the Cross. When He returns, He will not be the lowly rejected Saviour walking the streets of Jerusalem. When He is finished with the world, the blood will flow to the bridle of a horse...and it won't be His.

All but John were eventually executed. And he was exiled.

How many Christians were later killed after Christ? Does anyone know the great number?

The Kingdom of God is not a warring nation. Yes, Jesus was very much like Ghandi. He was a nonviolent resister of Rome. His followers were NOT rounded up and executed when the Romans came to capture them. They were let go. This is directly stated in scripture. The Romans would NEVER let the disciples go if Jesus and his followers were violent. We have historic records of those where were violent resisters, and what Rome did as a policy to them.

That his followers, years later got executed, it was for other reasons, not for being a follower of a violent resistor of Rome. They would have all been killed right along with Jesus.

Rejected, He went to the Cross. When He returns, He will not be the lowly rejected Saviour walking the streets of Jerusalem. When He is finished with the world, the blood will flow to the bridle of a horse...and it won't be His.
And this Death Jesus is more appealing to you than the, "forgive us as we forgive those who trespass against us" Jesus of the Gospels? You know the book of Revelation was nearly voted into the scrap heap with the other books that didn't make it into the Bible? There was a lot of heated debate, for good reason. It is a contradiction to the Jesus of the gospels. The God of Love, and the God of vengeance, are contradictions. See my topic thread here for more scholarly background on this: How to Read the Bible, and Still be a Christian

All but John were eventually executed. And he was exiled.
Again, if Jesus and his followers were seen as a violent resistance movement against Rome, ALL of them would have been rounded up and executed at the same time. You cannot say they "escaped". They were "let go", as the gospel authors state. Rome would never have let them go voluntarily. They were not escaped criminals. You are wrong about this.

How many Christians were later killed after Christ? Does anyone know the great number?
That they were killed years later, on other charges, proves that Jesus was a nonviolent resister of Rome. If otherwise, there would be no years later, on other charges, which was the case, if you've read your Bible. They'd have all been hung on crosses with Jesus, and the religion would be no more. Same thing with John the Baptist, only he, not his followers were arrested.

You are mistaken in your assumptions of the history of Christianity, as well as its core teachings. Did you know too, BTW, that Jesus was Jewish? Not sure if you understand that, seeing that you are proud to call yourself a racist, while ironically, claiming to be a Christian, a follower of a Jewish peasant.

Yea, it is written in the Book of Cyril...
Support your accusation that the South was traitor. Others have tried and failed. Perhaps you know something other's don't. Put your money where your mouth is.

oh, no you're right, they were absolutely loyal :rolleyes:

While you're attempting to redefine basic history and word definitions, perhaps you'd like to try to spin the traitor's crushing loss as "winning", why not?

Here's a good song about Texas.



Grandpappy told my pappy, back in my day, son
A man had to answer for the wicked that he done
Take all the rope in Texas find a tall oak tree,
Round up all them bad boys hang them high in the street
For all the people to see

That justice is the one thing you should always find
You got to saddle up your boys, you got to draw a hard line
When the gun smoke settles we'll sing a victory tune
And we'll all meet back at the local saloon
We'll raise up our glasses against evil forces singing
Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses

One should try to use one's best judgement when one can. But in the heat of the moment the K.I.S.S. system often works best.

The "kiss" system..?
