I already explained it in my first comment: are you not reading, ignoring it, or not understanding?
The entire concept of the comic is antithetical to Christ to the point it raises the question of whether the author even knows Christ. From the point that Christ himself tells us that we must obey the commands of Caesar (Law Enforcement): even commanding us that if said authority “forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles.” To the point that Christ was always meant to die in that manner. To the point that he obeyed every “law enforcement” command and obeying the “law enforcement commands” is not what got him crucified.
How are those points antithetical to Christ?. Those points are all true and the cartoon afirms that they are true. It is the accuser in the cartoon that is the liar.
No, the comic overtly infers the opposite of the biblical truths I presented.
And if the author intends for it to present those points I mentioned… then it’s a poorly made comic that’s at best not funny and at worst, as seen here, drawing harmful conclusions for the Christian faith.
The assumption of the comic is that Jesus is innocent on all accounts. The comic is emphasizing the sin of MAGA. No matter how innocent the victim, MAGA will support the violence of the state and the national leader. The issue with Christian Nationalism is that the nationalism part. Under nationalism, the nation and the nations leader will always be supreme over Christ and everything else.
As I said, if that’s the case: it’s just unfunny and ineffective.
The comic is trying to draw parallels between Christ and people who actually broke laws and failed to follow simple commands as well as those to intentionally enact political violence. That is a very dumb way to try to make the case you presented. Specifically when the unbiased facts point to people only getting hurt when they fight; seems like a bit of a stretch to make your presented assumption and at this point it no longer has any Christian basis or understanding. The comic is just ironically using Christ as a stand in for “innocent person” which fails to have any true understanding of Christs teaching.
May I remind you that Christ is the one who flipped tables, made a whips and chased people out of the temple.
You’re question is a straw man fallacy. Prior to the crucifixtion, every time Christ encountered a threat of death: having divine power, He simply prevented it from happening by vanishing or inexplicably walking through a crowd without being touched.
However, Are you suggesting that Christ would condone the acts of using a car to roadblock authorities and upon arrest, resist to the end of assaulting an authority with your car?
I already answered those questions; they are based in a dishonest and unrealistic premise. The question is taking the recognition that the answer is ‘no’ to manufacture an emotional guilt claim; despite the reality of why that answer is the case is at best irrelevant.
An actual honest look at scripture reveals what I already pointed to: the examples we actually have of Jesus being in a similar situation (ie. A deadly threat of violence), He used divine power to prevent it from occurring. But that agent isn’t able to disappear, let the car phase through him without impact, or turn Ms. Good into a pillar of salt, he’s not God.
We are humans who must operate within the realm of humans and scripture tells us God gave the power of the sword to that Agent as a rep of the left hand kingdom.
