Matthew 14

 

Matthew 14   

( for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword …. ).

This saying of Jesus Christ must be studied really deeply because of the opinions I found about it and that is never resort to force          ( sword ) in any situation .

This is a very big mistake and disastrous result on people and Christian community .

Jesus Christ meant to show us the way of useful and successful dealing with those who use force toward us in any field and in any way .

So , I understand the saying of Jesus Christ as follows ;

Those who resort to force in their dealing with us ( all kinds of force ) , only resorting to force with them would be useful and make them submit and be aware of their wrong method in dealing with us ,and stop their evil toward us .

( what was taken by force is not restored except by force ).

And who resorts to force with us is not out of stupidity ,but out of determination and a study of our belief and misconception about using force .

If that person or group know that you will respond to them in the same manner they would reconsider their method .

But their idea about our conception of using force make them go too far in pressure and dominating .

This is on one hand .

On the other hand , the former saying of Jesus Christ also indicates that those who choose force in dealing , no other method would be useful with them but force .

And this is what we see in reality .

It is shameful to deal with those who resort to force in dealing with you , with a different way .

More than that , dealing with them in a different way other than force will make them more arrogant , dominating and unjust .

Thus , it is better to change their conviction, In a way that makes them aware of their wrong  method with you and be polite and wise .

And what we have to do is to start .
