JESUS OF THE BIBLE, A PRINCE OF PEACE . (In memory of Akbar Sidi)

Christians attribute Isaiah 9:6 to Jesus Christ. Isaiah 9:6 says, "For to us a child is born,to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." This is considered to be a prophecy about Jesus Christ. However, nowhere during Jesus' lifetime was he called Prince of peace, he never even called himself so. A prince of peace should be a pacifist and truly, Jesus taught pacifism in several verses of the Bible. In Matthew 5:38-44,Jesus said; 38 "You have heard that it was said,'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' 39 But I say tell you,do not resist an evil person.If anyone slaps you on the right cheek,turn to them the other cheek also. 40 If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt,hand over your coat as well. 41 If anyone forces you to go one mile,go with them two miles. 42 Give to those who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you 43 "You have heard that it was said,'love your neighbor and hate your enemy." 44 But I tell you,love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. These verses really define Jesus of the Bible to be a man of peace agreeing with the title,"Prince of peace". In contrast to these verses, we find out that Jesus of the Bible never really meant peace nor came for peace in other verses of the Bible. We read clearly what Jesus said, "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came NOT TO SEND PEACE,BUT SWORD"(Matthew10:34). Jesus explains further, "For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law" These statements attributed to Jesus do not only riot the pacifist Christians paint Jesus to be,they could also make us conclude that Jesus is the cause of all the unrest in the world today(if those statements were true). We have the prince of peace saying, "Do you think I come to bring peace on earth? No,I tell you, but division"(Luke 12:51) He further explains how the division is going to be; "From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other,three against two and two against three. "They will be divided,father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law"(Luke12:52-53). How can a supposed prince of peace utter these statements?.He said again, "I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled"(Luke12:49) Jesus here claimed to have brought fire on earth and wished the fire had started burning,He however tells us what was stopping the fire from burning in the next verse, "But I have a baptism to undergo,and what constraint I am under until it is completed"(Luke12:50) One may say satirically,"perhaps Jesus underwent the baptism and after them we see the fire burning in form of bomb blasts in different countries today".It is clear from all indications that Jesus of the bible is more pugnacious than the pacifist the Christians call him. In Mark11:12-25,Jesus was recorded to have dealt unjustly with the fig tree by placing a curse on it which led to it's withering though Jesus was at fault because it was not the season of the tree to produce fruit.
