More Militant Jesus: "Fight Church"



Somehow, in December we get "Free Market Jesus", who sells us stuff on the TV to give to kids programmed to believe in Satan Claus.

But just like the modern Conservative movement, "Free Market Jesus" is also "Militant Jesus".

Please take note on how the Prince of Peace no longer speaks of social justice and brotherhood, the new message is "The enemy wants to destroy you personally, destroy your family".
That enemy should be the darker side of human nature, in which case one would look over the deep introspective cliff of Ego.
Instead, the easier demon is "the other".
Muslims.
Welfare.
Gays.
Some other guy who worships a different version of Jesus.

Hey, I've come to respect MMA for the spectacle of the times that it is. But isn't there a mixed message here?

As I recently heard a comedian say; I can appreciate Jesus, I just don't care for some of his fan club.

The whole concept of the New Testament is that the Lord Jesus Christ is going to whup everyone's ass for you. That's why the message to Christians is to practice mercy, peace, love, forgiveness, etc. Even Paul tells the Gentiles to avoid brawling and swearing because it's not Christian.
Going further, you have to turn the other cheek when someone abuses you. You can't even think of doing evil to them. Hell, if they sue you in court Jesus says you have to settle the issue as fast as possible. Christianity is so harsh you can't even fight a person in court.

Of course, the Bible expects you to defend yourself if attacked, but in today's modern society that is pretty rare. Otherwise, beating people up in the name of Jesus isn't a very good way to get them to be Christian.

However, Jesus did beat up the moneylenders that were in His church. The Bible even goes into detail how He specifically constructed a weapon for the very purpose. So I guess the message is that you can physically assault a wall street banker in a church with a bullwhip...as long as you are Christ.
