With Jesus, the use of force, even in self defense, was a no-no.

Oh really?

Does that include the clearing of the Temple with a whip of cords and He Himself deliberately went out and made for that purpose?

Also, give us the chapter and verse where He says that self-defense is a no-no for people.

Turn the other cheek, forgive them for they know not what they do, love your enemies, and such.

The cleansing of the temple wasn’t an act of self defence

Where does Jesus ever say that use of violence is acceptable for self defense? Your argument is like saying since Jesus never spoke out against men identifying as a woman, then it’s ok.
