Reza Aslan Quotes
The Common Depiction Of Jesus As An Inveterate Peacemaker Who "loved His Enemies" And "turned The Other Cheek" Has Been Built Mostly On His Portrayal As An Apolitical Preacher With No Interest In Or, For That Matter, Knowledge Of Politically Turbulent World In Which He Lived. That Picture Of Jesus Has Already Been Shown To Be Complete Fabrication. The Jesus Of History Had A Far More Complex Attitude Toward Violence. There Is No Evidence That Jesus Himself Openly Advocated Violent Actions. But He Was Certainly No Pacifist. "Do Not Think That I Have Come To Bring Peace On Earth. I Have Not Come To Bring Peace, But Sword" (Matthew 10:34 / Luke 12:51)
