In this bonus episode of The Gospel of Peace, Jerry Robinson returns to answer some of the most pressing questions that have come in since the release of our three-part series on the atonement.

Questions like:

• Doesn’t Isaiah 53:10 say it pleased the Lord to crush Jesus?
• How do you reconcile Hebrews 9:22 with the idea that God doesn’t need blood to forgive?
• Isn’t God’s justice retributive? Doesn’t sin demand punishment?
• Why do the apostles use sacrificial language at all?

And more…With clarity, humility, and a Christ-centered focus, Jerry walks us through these objections, always returning to the image of God revealed in Jesus: a God of love, mercy, restoration, and victory over sin and death.

This episode is for the honest seeker, the curious skeptic, and the follower of Jesus longing to make sense of the cross without compromising God’s goodness.

Many Christians assume God required the crucifixion to satisfy divine wrath, but have you ever noticed how clearly the apostles place responsibility for Jesus’ death on humanity? 

In Acts 2, Peter says explicitly, "you put him to death." Yet many believers still think God demanded Jesus’ murder. How could the murderers of Jesus possibly be fulfilling God’s will?

In this powerful episode, Jerry Robinson invites us to carefully revisit the Scriptures. He walks listeners step-by-step through what the apostles and Jesus Himself actually said about the cross. Far from a divine act of wrath, the crucifixion becomes a powerful revelation of humanity’s rejection of perfect love—and God's extraordinary response of redemptive love.

In this episode, we take a fresh look at the cross and explore whether we’ve misunderstood the reason for Jesus’ death.

Was it about satisfying God’s wrath?

Or was something deeper happening?

Well, we've got you covered!

In a nutshell, Just War Theory is a set of ethical principles used to assess the morality of using military force.

But here's the kicker—we need to explore it from a critical perspective, especially for those of us who strive to follow Christ's teachings of peace.

Related Video: Just War Theory vs Jesus Christ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5TV7OrJaws

Just War Theory acknowledges that war and violence are generally seen as negative, but it proposes that there may be certain situations where the use of force is deemed necessary and justifiable.

Key principles of just war theory include the idea that the use of force should be a last resort, that it should be used to achieve a just end, and that it should be conducted in a way that is proportional to the harm being addressed.

However, as peacemakers in Christ, we must question and examine this theory through a different lens that values Christ’s commands above the tradition of men.

If you're interested in gaining a deeper understanding of Just War Theory and exploring its implications from a critical perspective, we invite you to watch this short and enlightening 10-minute video clip by Jerry Robinson. https://youtu.be/HMJt1zDs17E

Jerry offers insights that challenge the conventional narrative and provoke thoughtful consideration.

Has your love grown cold?

The love of many has grown cold in America (and around the world,) which explains why so many today prefer hatred of enemies over Christ’s law of enemy love.

Enemy love is an unpopular message both in the pews and the pulpits. (Let alone outside the four walls of the church.)

When we hate our enemies, we become what we hate.

This is the way of death.

The way of life is found in peace and love with both friends and enemies.

We know this because of the nonviolent love of both friends and enemies modeled by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

The way of life is the way of peace not found in carnal weapons. The true gospel (GOOD news) of Jesus Christ is a gospel of peace that calls men to walk in the way of peace as they follow their Prince of Peace.

Press into Jesus for He is our peace.

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus famously issued this radical command to all who would follow Him: “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also." (Matthew 5:38,39)

This powerful message of forgiveness has the potential to transform our lives and the world around us, but what exactly did Jesus mean when he told his followers to "turn the other cheek?"

As a Christian for many years, I must say that I’ve heard many explanations of this passage that usually suggest that it is not about violence but more about “interpersonal relationships.”

Strangely, I’ve rarely (if ever) heard a sermon that digs into the Old Testament context of Christ’s command.

In fact, one simple way to understand what Jesus meant by this command is to look at the context of the Mosaic law that Christ is referring to. Namely, the Old Testament command "eye for eye, tooth for tooth."

The phrase "eye for eye, tooth for tooth" is part of the legal code in the Torah and is often referred to as the law of retaliation or lex talionis. The principle of lex talionis is an ancient legal concept that was adopted by various legal systems and is reflected in various religious texts, including the Old Testament.

In essence, it is the idea that a punishment should fit the crime, or that the punishment should be proportional to the harm caused.

This phrase appears three times in the Mosaic law.

1) Exodus 21:24 - In this passage, the law is in reference to a pregnant woman who is maimed or murdered as a result of two men who are fighting/warring.

2) Leviticus 24:20 - This passage refers to a person who is “disfigured” (i.e. injured) by another man.

3) Deuteronomy 19:21 - This passage refers to a person who is being falsely accused of a capital offense (likely worthy of death) by a false witness.

In all these cases, retaliation against the guilty party is demanded in proportion to the harm caused.

In this episode, we take a deep dive into these biblical texts and examine the historical context that Jesus’ audience knew well to gain a clearer understanding of Christ’s radical command to not repay evil for evil, even to one’s enemies.

In this next video episode of the Rethink series, teacher/author Jerry Robinson tackles the topic of good and evil.

Jerry begins with a basic review of God's good creation to reveal that God only does and makes "good" things. Next, he examines the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and provides a simple, but often overlooked, explanation for what the text is revealing to us about God's true nature.

Later, Jerry explains what it means that Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil by acknowledging the existence of "the evil one."

This teaching uncovers the hidden tracks of "the evil one" throughout the scriptures and shows how God defeated the adversary's darkness with light.

It will also challenge you to "rethink" what scripture reveals about good and evil and includes numerous insights and eye-opening details about God's eternal goodness.

When the question of Christians joining the military and using the sword arises, inevitably someone will turn to Matthew 8:5-13 where Christ publicly praises the faith of a Roman centurion (soldier) who requests a miracle.

Put simply, the Centurion’s “faith” coupled with Christ's silence on the Centurion's occupation has long been used as a reason why Christians can join the military.

Here’s what the Bible says:

“And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel." (Matthew 8:5-13)

The logic goes like this: Since Christ applauded the Centurion’s faith, and because Christ does not explicitly command the soldier to forsake his military occupation, it must mean that Jesus supports the idea of Christians joining the military.

But is that really what is going on in this Biblical account? Are we to assume that Jesus approves of His followers joining the military simply because he was silent on the Centurion’s choice of occupation?

In this new teaching, we dive headlong into this question and many others in an attempt to discern how Christ's followers are to respond to military service. We will also consider other examples of Centurions throughout the New Testament in our investigation.

The Gospel of Peace: Rediscovering the Nonviolent Way of Jesus releases November 30, 2026.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/52868314Mon, 27 Feb 2023 18:23:18 +0000Jerry RobinsonOne of the greatest questions that faced the early church was whether Christians could join the military and participate in war. When the question of Christians joining the military and using the sword arises, inevitably someone will turn to Matthew...
When the question of Christians joining the military and using the sword arises, inevitably someone will turn to Matthew 8:5-13 where Christ publicly praises the faith of a Roman centurion (soldier) who requests a miracle.

Put simply, the Centurion’s “faith” coupled with Christ's silence on the Centurion's occupation has long been used as a reason why Christians can join the military.

Here’s what the Bible says:

“And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel." (Matthew 8:5-13)

The logic goes like this: Since Christ applauded the Centurion’s faith, and because Christ does not explicitly command the soldier to forsake his military occupation, it must mean that Jesus supports the idea of Christians joining the military.

The Gospel of Peace: Rediscovering the Nonviolent Way of Jesus releases November 30, 2026.]]>5630bible,centurion,christ,christian,christians,jesus,military,nonviolence,peacefalsefullhttps://youtu.be/A5TV7OrJaws
It's a complex and nuanced topic that has been debated for centuries within the Christian community. On one hand, the Bible teaches that Jesus Christ came to bring peace and that Christians are called to love their enemies and turn the other cheek. On the other hand, there are passages in the Old Testament that seem to condone violence and warfare.

One way to understand the Christian perspective on war is through the concept of just war theory. Just war theory is a framework that attempts to justify the use of military force by examining whether a war is morally justifiable. According to just war theory, a war can be considered just if it is fought for a just cause, such as self-defense or protecting the innocent; if it is fought using proportionate means; and if it is fought with the intention of achieving a lasting peace.

Many Christians believe that just war theory provides a way to reconcile the Bible's teachings on peace and nonviolence with the reality of a fallen world in which war and violence sometimes seem necessary.

The Church's long and enduring "Just War" tradition has made it morally "safe" for many Christian leaders to be pro-military at all times and to support America's wars without any pause or hesitation.
Because wars can be just, the idea goes, followers of Christ should not only support them, they should participate in them.

The Just War tradition carves out a well-reasoned justification for Christians, who are not even allowed to hate their enemies or sue at law, to kill their enemies.

Of course, Christ's commands to love one's enemies are nowhere to be found in the many criteria of the so-called "Christian" Just War theory.

Let's be honest. Just War theory openly rejects the way of Christ in preference of homicidal violence as a means of conflict resolution. None of its criteria consult Him, let alone acknowledge Christ's existence.

Just War doctrine reads as if Christ never came and never existed.

Sadly, this is the moral measuring stick used by many Christians for deciding when homicidal violence is justified or unjustified.

And the way that the Just War theory works is that as long as the war is "just", the killing is not "murder."

That's the way the theory works.

But let's not forget that if the war does not meet ALL of the Just War criteria, then the war is "unjust" and the killing is "murder."

Do you find it strange that none of the Christian Just War advocates are willing to explain exactly how the Pentagon's methods, means, and conduct satisfy the Just War criteria?

When was the last time you heard a sermon about just war or just homicide?

Ever heard a sermon about "unjust" wars?

Are all of America's wars "just" now?

Does the theory that greenlights Christian participation in war have no criteria today except our own lusts and desires?

In this new teaching from our ongoing Rethink series, by Bible teacher Jerry Robinson will share why he rejects the Christian nature of the Just War Theory.

In this teaching, you will learn about:
- Christ's nonviolent love of friends and enemies
- The Apostle's nonviolent love of friends and enemies
- The nonviolent and antiwar roots of the early church
- The ancient origins and wide-ranging history of the Just War theory
- How "Just War" came to be considered a "Christian" revelation superior to Christ's commands to love one's enemy
- Why Christians should rethink Just War theory and consider a more Christ-centered approach to conflict resolution

While the world may continue to war after Christ's resurrection and ascension, it does not follow that Christians must join the world in waging its wars in order to be considered virtuous.

If there was ever a time to adopt a more Christ-centered approach to military warfare, when better than our present nuclear age?

Ultimately, whether or not Christians should participate in war will come down to our consciences and our interpretation of Christ's commands.

The question we must all answer for ourselves is this: "Can I rightly keep Christ's commands to love my enemies by killing them?"

In this new video teaching, Bible teacher/author Jerry Robinson takes you on a deep dive into understanding what the New Testament says about the topic of peace.

Specifically, Jerry focuses this teaching on:

- The Prince of Peace
- The way of peace
- The gospel of peace

The world doesn't know peace. Any peace it claims to have is short-lived and always ends in more war and savagery.

Those who are spiritually lost have a deep yearning for peace, but cannot attain it in their own strength.

And yet, followers of Christ have the peace of God permanently ruling in their hearts and minds.

And the world is unable to take this peace from them.

This teaching is filled with many important insights and eye-opening details that will challenge you to rethink the importance of a proper Christian understanding of peace.

For most, the name Hitler conjures thoughts of the Nazi regime that terrorized continental Europe throughout the 1930s and 1940s.

Others will recall Hitler as the visionary engineer of the Nazi-led Holocaust, which led Germany to systematically enslave and murder millions of Jews and other minority groups in an effort to purge the Aryan (white) race of the defiling presence of “impure” and “inferior” races.

But few, if any, living in the 21st century would readily link the historically despised Adolf Hitler with the name of one of America’s most prominent founding fathers: Thomas Jefferson.

However, in this article, I want to focus your attention on five important beliefs that both of these men (Adolf Hitler and Thomas Jefferson) shared in common regarding the topics of Jesus Christ, the Bible, and the Christian Church.

As we begin, we do well to recall the words of President Harry Truman as he reminds us that “the only thing new in the world is the history you don’t know.”

Today, American Christians are bombarded by messages of fear from the corporate media regarding the rise of gun violence across the country. 

This fear has caused many otherwise well-intentioned Christians to assume that in order to fight evil, they must resort to the same tactics and use the same weapons employed by evildoers. 

But is this true? 

Has the Prince of Peace called his followers to fight against flesh and blood with carnal weapons of death? 

In this brand new podcast, I confront this important question head-on with Christ's own words. 

You will learn what the New Testament really says about weapons and how Christians should respond in an evil age filled with violence.

What is propaganda, how does it work, and how can Christians successfully combat its effects in their lives?

In this final monthly True Riches Academy teaching of 2019, Jerry Robinson takes a break from our ongoing series on what the Bible says about the “sword” to discuss the important topic of political (and religious) propaganda.

Over the last several months, we have received MANY questions from viewers regarding global events in 2019. In tonight’s teaching, we will address some of those questions and provide you with Christ-centered and Biblical solutions for dealing with the onslaught of propaganda that fills the media airwaves (and pulpits) of America and beyond.

These are trying times for followers of Christ…

As the world descends into the final showdown between good and evil, lies abound and the truth is obscured.

Lies are not only being spewed through the airwaves but also from the pulpits of churches all over the world.

We can take heart knowing that the New Testament (and the Old) contain the truth, not only about man’s true condition but also his ultimate future.

“And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32)

Are you falling for (and sharing) the lies of this age — or are you standing strong in these last days armed with God’s Word as your ultimate source of truth?

If you are seeking encouragement in this dark hour and want to cut through the noise to focus on God’s truth, do not miss this powerful teaching.

Prepare to be challenged through this important teaching to rethink your worldly political entanglements and instead to promote and herald the Kingdom of God to a lost and dying world.

The Gospel of Peace: Rediscovering the Nonviolent Way of Jesus releases November 30, 2026.]]>4610bible,biblestudy,bibleteaching,jerryrobinson,oldtestament,propaganda,sword,truerichesacademy,truerichesradiofalsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/does-jesus-command-us-to-carry-a-sword--19670047https://truerichesradio.com/does-jesus-command-disciples-to-carry-a-sword/

The concept of preserving one’s own life, and especially the lives of our families, by preemptively killing a violent oppressor is commonly held today. In fact, any other reaction aside from preemptive killing of one’s mortal enemies is considered unthinkable by many Christians today.

The most common scriptural defense of the right of Christian “self-defense” of one’s life, property or country is rooted in an interesting comment made by Jesus on the final night of his life.

In an unusual phrase, Jesus urges his disciples:

“He said to them, “But now let the one who has a moneybag take it, and likewise a knapsack. And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one.” (Luke 22:36)

At first glance, this verse does indeed appear to suggest that Jesus wanted his disciples to take up arms by saying to sell your cloak and buy a sword.

In this teaching, we examine this seemingly difficult passage.

Was Jesus calling his disciples to a life of violence and bloodshed after spending his entire ministry calling them to non-violence?

Did Jesus instruct His disciples to buy a sword for use in self-defense? From who? From robbers? The Jews? The Roman Empire?

Did Jesus want His disciples to lead a violent revolt with these swords? If so, how could only two swords be enough to protect 12 men?

And if Jesus does want His followers to kill or maim with these swords? And does He still want us to love our enemies and to turn the other cheek?

If Jesus wanted His disciples to carry and sword and use it in self-defense, why didn’t His disciples ever use those swords beyond the Garden of Gethsemane?

What is the truth about this verse?

Now that we have studied the use of the sword in the Old Testament and have considered what Christ Himself had to say about the sword, we turn our study to the views of the early church regarding the sword, as recorded in the New Testament epistles and other writings from the first three centuries of Christianity.

If Christ desired the saints to arm themselves against the many dangers they faced, we can be certain that this command will be found throughout these writings of the early church.

Title: THE NEW JERUSALEM: MAN'S TRUE HOPE
Date Recorded: September 10, 2017
Teacher: Jerry Robinson

Video Description: The desire for the city is resident in man's heart and man can never be truly satisfied outside of the city.

But, because of man's sin nature, all of man's cities are unable to foster the environment only God can provide.

All of man's kingdoms fail to end poverty, hunger, disease, thirst, pain, suffering, and ultimately, death.

Man's kingdoms, his empires, his cities, as well as the philosophies that inform them, all fail to solve man's deepest problems. 

"Kingdoms come
and kingdoms go
But through the word of God I know
When all in life
is done and past
only what's done 
for Christ will last." 

The Lord offers you an eternal home. God will create for man what man was unable to build for himself. After man revolted against God, he set out to fulfill the desires that lie resident within his heart. But in his own effort, he has proven to be incapable of establishing a peaceful world apart from God. 

God will govern as king over his children. Our communion with God will no longer be interrupted. He will be present among men. 
In this new heaven and new earth, God will banish the things that man alone cannot eradicate in his own power. 

- There will be no more crying as God will wipe away every tear from our eyes
- God will eliminate death
- God will eliminate sorrow
- God will eliminate pain

Which of man's governments can boast this same promise?

Therefore, let us await the blessed hope and glorious appearance of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ!

If this teaching blesses you, please share it with someone else who you think might appreciate it.
