I was brushing my teeth in my bathroom when a guy next to me asked, "What would Jesus do if a guy came up to him and wanted to fight?"
I answered, "Jesus would have such a charismatic presence that he would automatically stop the guy in his tracks."
and the guy said, "hrm, interesting but what would he say? I think he would tell him that he has been walking the wrong path and such..."
then another guy came in and said, "dood, Jesus would TOTALLY fight the guy."
and I was kind of surprised and so was the other guy who asked the question. He asked, "no he wouldn't. Why would Jesus do that?"
Then the new guy said, "yeah, just like Jesus didn't turn tables and whip all the animals and people."
And the other guy said, "he didn't whip people, Did he?"
Then I left the bathroom because I was done brushing my teeth.
Yep. haha. What a fun discussion.
PostScript.
I checked the bible and as it turns out, scripture implies that Jesus might have actually whipped some people. Interesting...
"Jesus entered the temple area and drove out all who were buying and selling there." - Matthew 21:12a

but it was out of righteous anger.
and he is just.
if a guy wanted to fight him, maybe he WOULD fight back-- but it would not be unfair because the other guy would have been rightly punished. but i think he'd handle a guy asking for a fist-fight and a guy destroying the temple of God, differently.
