Christians rose up in arms against the Roman empire that was killing them? No. Jesus warned his message would be distorted in the end times and he was correct.
Christians were not cowards - but how they fought (and should fight) was to willingly die through martyrdom WITHOUT ARMED RESISTANCE against authority. 'The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church.'
Christ is not a jihadist,
Sure, Christians rise up and physically fight for their right to worship.
In Rome, itself, eventually they did (along with a lot of other things going on at the same time).
The Crusades were similarly a defensive fight against muslim oppression.
Indeed, in modern times, the answer is frequently violent.
Christians in Sudan need new AK-47s more than they need new Bibles.
In Christ' day, the enemy didn't have nukes.
"Christians were not cowards - but how they fought (and should fight) was to willingly die through martyrdom WITHOUT ARMED RESISTANCE against authority."
Too bad the WWII generation didn't agree with you. Then we could all be speaking German and saluting the Fuhrer.
What a crock! Nowhere in the Bible does it say, “If a man stab you in the back, turn you also to him your belly”
