Violence

“Violent” means “desperate”; “take” is “seize” [see Matt. 11.11-13]—that is to say, to take for one’s possession. Since the Pharisees use force to prevent men from entering the kingdom of heaven, those who would enter need to seize it by force.

Mat 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

Jesus was also no sissy, He kicked the money changers out of the temple and turned their tables upside down. He used a whip. Well...I guess He got a little upset. He also called some people "dogs and vipers".

You don't hear much preaching about this, most preachers like to avoid it.
Must have something to do with political correctness.
Jesus didn't care about political correctness. He was firm, honest and direct.
He wasn't sitting on fences like a lot of people today.

Political Correctness: The New Communism:

"Political Correctness" is the name given to a set of political policies that have been promoted in Australia, New Zealand, Britain, the United States and Canada since the 1960s. These policies are constantly changing, and what is "politically correct" in 1970 may no longer be "politically correct" in 2000. People become aware of "Political Correctness" when they or someone else fall victim to it. Some examples of people who have fallen victim to "Political Correctness" are as follows:

• Farmers who have had their land, which has been in their family for generations, confiscated and given to the indigenous people.

• Relatives of murder victims where the murderer has been released on parole and the victim's relatives have met the murderer in the local shopping centre.

• Parents whose children have become homosexuals.

• Husbands whose wives have left them for no good reason and been given half of the husband's property by the Family Court.

• Sporting shooters who have been prevented from shooting ducks by illegal protests, and whose guns are then confiscated on the basis that they can't go shooting so they don't need them.

• Children at government schools who are declared mentally ill by the school counsellor because they express political views that they got from their parents and that the Prime Minister said he supported

Political correctness has no place in the body of Christ.
