Jesus was peaceful man, he did not carry a sword, but Church in the past used religion as tool to control people, this is not about Christianity but most religions used and still used as tools of control and sometimes cruelty against the masses. As editor of Studyebooks Com, I respect all religions. We share Holy books and critics of them.
