Jesus isn’t any of that.

Nice quads

I pray that someday you disassociate humans from what Jesus can do to your life personally.

I found Jesus last year. I’m almost done reading through the Bible for the first time. What is the Catholic justification of Apocryphal texts being about of required reading, you don’t believe Old and New Testament is enough correct? God has been continuously speaking through the Saints over the millennia? and how Holy War was inspired by Augustine in 400 ad, sounds counter to the life of Jesus and the disciples, he blesses the Roman centurion but does that mean Christ wants a physical army? Or that’s who he’s even willing to bless. He always spoke of a spiritual or heavenly army not of this earth, yet god wants us to physically form an army like the ancient Israelites? First 400 years was strictly catechumens during a culture of “Muscular Christianity” dedication towards being dead to sin, preparing for martyrdom, then bloodless martyrs, Desert Fathers, how did it go beyond that? Isn’t that the goal? To be willing to die for Christ, will not renounce your faith, but will die to sin to be alive in Christ, by losing our life for Christ’s sake we save it. To be lights in a dark world, is “killing for Christ” really being a light? Vanquished evil in our hands? Or lack of faith in God wanting us to bring peace to the joy of angels in heaven. Everything about vanquishing evil was the sin in your heart and soul? Right? We are told not to discern the wheat from the weeds in the parable, the Lord will judge in the end.

Extended families without religion or Jesus for them to tolerate and forgive each other? Can you show me examples of a strong extended family that came as the result of Marx?
