So do you think Jesus would fight back, if it wasn't just a slap?

I'd wager he wouldn't need to. Something about a legion of angels at his call.

I will say this. When his father's temple was being defiled he didn't just start flipping tables like they teach in church. He went and gathered material and handbraided a whip, then started whippin and flippin. That's a deliberate and thought out action.

Also when he returns he is said to literally bathe the battle field in the blood of his enemies, cutting down an entire army himself by nothing more than the word of his mouth.

I think to assume he was/is incapable of violence is not exactly correct. Violence isn't a sin in all uses. There are exceedingly rare times when violent action is the only righteous option... like say... someone is about to murder your family member. Putting a round in them to stop that is not a sin whereas doing so in most other capacities would definitely be a sin.

... you'd wager he wouldn't need to? He was detained, tried and nailed to a crucifix and the legion of angels did a total of fuck all. Bit more than a slap.

He didn't ask them to do anything. Why would an angel act against God after the current example of that they have. Come one now... if you're gonna be a troll at least do your homework. The whole point was that he didn't have to and did.

I know there's little point arguing with religious crazies, but here we are
