Jesus came for two reasons: to establish God's kingdom and to exact judgment on apostate Judea. If he's an example then nothing is wrong with Christians being strong and defiant. And that, of course, is the opposite of the OP: weak and fluid.

Then you are cherry-picking his statements out of context and completely disregarding HIS message. Jesus was about love and forgiveness. He was not Sparticus!Those are Jesus' quotes directly from the New Testament.
You don't say.Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord! Not man.
"Give me an example of "cruel Jesus". And don't say when he turned over the tax tables!"Then you are cherry-picking his statements out of context and completely disregarding HIS message. Jesus was about love and forgiveness. He was not Sparticus!
I am a white Irish Catholic. I know what Chist's message was all about. And violence has nothing to do with it! Anyone who says Jesus was into violence, is a FUCKING LIAR!Most liberals are more clueless about the New Testament than evangelicals are. You might be the most clueless of all.
I just did.You don't say.

I'm not even sure what you're talking about, to be honest. The cross that the Romans compelled Simon to carry?
Well, good for the roman soldiers, then.No. A Roman soldier's pack weighed 60 pounds. He could demand a Jew carry it for a mile.
You are taking him out of context to fit a certain political ideology and that is not cool."Give me an example of "cruel Jesus". And don't say when he turned over the tax tables!"
I gave you five.
You're welcome.
Put his quotes of vengeance in context for us.You are taking him out of context to fit a certain political ideology and that is not cool.

Evangelical Christian leader Russell Moore revealed this week that many evangelical pastors have become alarmed that their Trump-loving congregants have become so militant that they are even rejecting the teachings of Jesus Christ.
In an interview with NPR, Moore said that multiple pastors had told him disturbing stories about their congregants being upset when they read from the famous "Sermon on the Mount" in which Christ espoused the principles of forgiveness and mercy as central to Christian doctrine.
"Multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the same story about quoting the Sermon on the Mount, parenthetically, in their preaching — 'turn the other cheek' — [and] to have someone come up after to say, 'Where did you get those liberal talking points?'" Moore revealed. "And what was alarming to me is that in most of these scenarios, when the pastor would say, 'I'm literally quoting Jesus Christ,' the response would not be, 'I apologize.' The response would be, 'Yes, but that doesn't work anymore. That's weak.'"
Christianity in 2023.Translation:
“I really miss those traditional hardcore Bible thumping ‘Conservatives’….the ones who didn’t conserve, preserve or protect anything, the ones with no ball-sack, the one’s that would polish the AR-15’s they’d never have the nuts to use, the foolish suckers we could easily bully, easily steer their way of thinking by throwing a Bible verse in their face…we could get those passive dumbass pussies to accept anything with a simple guilt trip. The nutless bastards finally grew a pair of balls and now they won’t ignore us disgusting globalist degenerates as we run amok, trashing and transforming their nation into the no borders, no boundaries anything goes socialist foreign shithole we seek.”
And?Jesus’ ideology, like so many other liberal and progressive ideologies , works beautifully in a vacuum. Unfortunately, once you add human nature and fallibility and weakness to the equation, they’re a recipe for disaster.
