If you believe in Jesus Christ then you will do as he says. Being a Christian means being Christ like.
Jesus Christ that said turn the other cheek when you are slapped, you wise pass am abi you think say you know pass Jesus.
If you're not a Christian, you have no right to quote Jesus Christ or the gospel to a Christian.

All these if you're a Christian... as a good Christian...blah blah blah! Shut up!

Alikoooooooooo:
Jesus Christ is The Greatest Man that has and will ever walk the face of the Earth. Jesus Christ came in capacity as the Word of God. Everything that God said Jesus was the embodiment of that.

He Jews missed him because they wanted him to fight their battles. Alot of Christians miss him because they want Him to fight their battles for them.
What people are ment to do is read Jesus words and build their lives on His Word's

The reasons why wars exist is because means are not made to make sure wars don't start. In the past Solomon and European kings married from different nations as a means to bring nations together since it is very hard to fight a war with your wifes people because your love for her will make you have feelings for people in her nationality or ethnicity.

Sometimes the best way to fight a war is not even to fight because the war can easily escalate beyond what one has planned
The teachings of Jesus Christ are Universal Laws and can be used by children, Mother's, psychologists, Doctors, Soldiers and Military men.

Saying that Jesus Christ was weak is a sign that one does not view intellect over strength. In life it is mind over matter. In a word where everyone knows Jesus Christ and only a tiny minority know Ghangis Kahn or can quote Khan. we can say Jesus Christ has been able to defy death.

Brute Strength must only be a last resort when peace talks and diplomacy have failed to temper a present threat and not a futuristic threat to use force on people based on futuristic calculations if their behavior patterns never works. That is like punishing a 10 year old boy because you feel he will be a thief in the future.

They have a saying that people who mocked Jesus in public meet collapse and defeat it has nothing to do with Jesus but they have rejected what Jesus embodies ..... Wisdom and Understanding.

If you laugh at wisdom and Understanding it means you have embraced Lack of Wisdom and No Understanding which is a brilliant recipe for Total Failure
If your son asks for gun and you told him no because you know he dislikes his sisters and you’ve tried talking to him but he insists, you know he might get it if you don’t take any action, what will be your action? Will you let it slide and allow him get it since he isn’t hurting his sis just yet or you’ll let him keep it because you trust your guts he wouldn’t use it on your daughters?

Sangoamadioha1:
Then why did Jesus say turn the other cheek when you are slapped.
My argument is if you profess Jesus Christ then adhere to his teachings or do your thing and stop hiding under the banner of Christianity.
A non Christian (Ghandi) even practiced this with his non violent approach to provocation than the so called Christians.
Its obvious you are one of thos who read bible superficially like novel! If you are truly a Christian, I pray for you for the spirit of discernment to know when to shealth your sword (as in turning the other cheeks) in the face of mild provocation and when to use your sword (symbolic means of self defense) in the face of potential harm to your life.

If we are talking facts, Muhammad actually ordered his followers to stop the killing several times, especially during the Conquest of Mecca.

He had the power to wipe out everyone who had been killing his companions for 13 years, but he gave a general amnesty instead. He even had strict 'Rules of Engagement'—don't kill women, don't kill children, don't even cut down trees.

The problem is that extremists today have 'edited' the manual to suit their own 'vawulence.' Just imagine if Christians decides to edit theirs (Quran 22:39).

Have you ever seen or Jesus being in combat? Outside supernatural factor (on the battlefield) Ghenghis khan was great but Jesus was an epitome of peace and sometimes it can be viewed by others as being weak.
Aside the time he whipped the money changers and Traders at the Temple plus when he asked his Disciples to go sell their garments and buy swords, he was never said to be involved in any combats.

The interesting thing is that Christians believed he is coming back to fight in the Armegedon when he will appear on a white horse with the hosts of heavens to kill those who don't accept him as a god!

Paraphrasing American historian Will Durant, Netanyahu said, “History proves that, unfortunately and unhappily, Jesus Christ has no advantage over Genghis Khan. Because if you are strong enough, ruthless enough, powerful enough, evil will overcome good. Aggression will overcome moderation.”

your generalisation is laughable.

How can a religion teach that Jesus was crucified, on request of the Jews, for equating himself with God then think that the Jews believe in Jesus Christ.

Israeli PM Netanyahu Sparks Outrage After Comparing Jesus Christ With Warlord Genghis Khan Amid Iranian War

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has come under fire after drawing a controversial comparison between Jesus Christ and Genghis Khan, the founder and first khan of the Mongol Empire.

Netanyahu has made the comparison during a press conference while defending ongoing military actions against Iran.

The remarks, delivered in both Hebrew and English, were made as Netanyahu sought to justify continued military coordination with the United States and warn of the global risks posed by Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

While emphasising the need for strength in confronting perceived threats, the Israeli leader referenced a historical argument suggesting that moral virtue alone is insufficient in the face of aggression.

Paraphrasing American historian Will Durant, Netanyahu said, “History proves that, unfortunately and unhappily, Jesus Christ has no advantage over Genghis Khan. Because if you are strong enough, ruthless enough, powerful enough, evil will overcome good. Aggression will overcome moderation.”

The comparison quickly drew criticism from religious groups and political commentators, many of whom viewed the juxtaposition of Jesus Christ — revered by billions as a symbol of peace — with Genghis Khan, known for his conquests and brutality, as offensive and inappropriate.

Netanyahu later indicated that no offense was intended, suggesting the remark was meant to underscore the dangers of weakness in a hostile world.

The controversy emerged amid heightened tensions over the military conflict involving Iran, which has also divided opinion in the United States. Supporters of the intervention argue it is necessary for national security, while critics warn against deeper involvement in another Middle East conflict without clear objectives or an exit strategy.

During his prepared remarks, Netanyahu praised U.S. President Donald Trump for his role in supporting the campaign.

“President Trump always makes his decisions on what he thinks is good for America, and may I add, I think what is also good for future generations,” Netanyahu said.

“The world owes a debt of deep indebtedness, deep indebtedness, to President Trump for leading this effort to safeguard our future.”

Responding to questions from reporters, Netanyahu doubled down on the need for decisive action, arguing that moral clarity without strength is ineffective in modern geopolitics.

“You know, if people want to be naive, then they don’t see the kind of world we’re living in. In this world, it’s not enough to be moral. It’s not enough to be just. It’s not enough to be right,” he said.

He added that democracies, particularly those led by the United States, must act before threats escalate beyond control.

“So you have no choice. If you look at the world as it is today, you have to be blind not to see that the democracies led by the United States have to reassert their will to defend themselves,” Netanyahu said.

“And to oppose their enemies in time, while there’s still time, before the jarring gong of danger wakes them up and wakes them up too late. This is where we are now.”

The Israeli leader concluded by stressing the need for military strength, warning that failure to act decisively could have dire consequences.

“We have to be armed. We have to be more powerful than the barbarians, or they will not be merely at the gate. They’ll crash our gates and destroy our societies,” he said.

“That’s what Israel is doing now with the United States. And I’m very proud of the fact that the Israeli people are standing strong, that the Israeli army is standing strong.”

Nethanyahu later attempted to play down the comments, stating that he was misquoted after facing backlash online.

“More fake news about my attitude towards Christians, who are protected and flourish in Israel,” Netanyahu said in a statement on X. “Let me be clear: I did not denigrate Jesus Christ at my news conference this evening.”

"To the contrary, I cited the great American historian Will Durant. A fervent admirer of Jesus Christ, Durant stated that morality by itself is not enough to ensure survival,” said Netanyahu.

“A morally superior civilisation may still fall to a ruthless enemy if it does not have the power to defend itself,” he concluded. “No offense was meant.”

His comments come amid pressure on the United States and Israel to halt the ongoing war in Iran, with critics citing impacts on the globe and continually deaths through air strikes.

Yeah.

When you show how shallow and hollow their thinking is, the abuses start.

Satanyahu is of the opinion that your Lord and Saviour is Weak, instead of going for him and call him out, you are looking for metaphors and metaphoric gibberish.

Don't worry, you will be alright.

Doesn’t it irk you that he equated your Lord… our Lord Jesus, to a Mongolian Conqueror… mere mortal?

More so, he has given LGBT campaigners free rein over the children of Israel. May be he doesn’t give a damn about those CHRISTian principles that you hold dear. How does he then defend you Christians in Nigeria?

he denied the divinity of our Lord JESUS.
Core Christian doctrine holds that Jesus is the "Prince of Peace" and God incarnate, holding supreme moral and spiritual authority that cannot be compared to a secular conqueror like Genghis Khan.

How does such a man who commits this heresy be claimed to save Christians?

He should've stayed off spiritual matters.

He was an atheist, wasn't he?
Babe, thats a worldwide political writer/adviser even to the Popes and Holy Roman Empire of his time

I mean these are the people who defined the world as you live in it today

That book is the bible of politics, its just letters he wrote to kings and statesmen using excerpts from the scriptures to advise them , he didnt insult anybody, he just illustrated that there was a reason why moses succeeded in leading the israelites out of egypt but Jesus couldnt liberate his people from roman occupation, the difference is that Moses raisedf an army... Jesus had bodyguards I hope u know.... I mean these are the people who read the bible and other original books before u

So pls sweeheart i feel offended when u use stupid to describe him, honestly u dont him, u may like him...

It doesnt matter what he believes in, neevr rubbish the works of renowned people that lived before u, why, they are the reason why u have it easy now, atheist or not

I won’t be surprised if this thread gets to fp..
Go on TikTok or YouTube. Search what Jews or Zionists think about Christian and come back to tell us it's fabrication.

Natanyahu has to deny it because they are trying to gain Christian support. But deep down, that's what their beliefs are about Christian and other human race.
