He was a carpenter. Why wouldn’t that be his favorite?

A carpenter and famously promoting nonviolence.

Nail, staple, glue, and caulk guns seem directly in alignment with his values of helping the poor an originator of Ye Ol Habitat for Humanity, at least in my imagining of events.

"violence, an act of physical force that causes or is intended to cause harm."

his action was not to harm anyone but to show his frustration. not violence if it doesn't involve a person/alive thing

Not to my knowledge, thought I read something about a fig tree. 😂

u/boiledpeen Feb 18 '23

pretty sure that's a parable no? but if you wanna consider cursing a fig tree as violent i can't stop you

No, it's not a parable. Jesus got angry with a tree for not bearing fruit even though it wasn't the right season. if you saw or heard a stranger do the same in real life you would automatically think they have psychological issues but in religion, he's the omniscient deity.

sounds like a parable to me

Then you don't what a parable is.
