they stole everything from tesla. gave parts of it to edison and others. trump's uncle found out after tesla was 187'd. he understood the importance of tesla's discoveries because he himself was a genius….invented radiation medicine that is still used. only reason i can thik of they didn't 187 uncle john is that he had an insurance policy. i'm guessing it was powerful enough to buy him TIME to plan the long sting. enter djt who was born 3 years, 5 months, and 7 days after tesla 'died'.

Even Jesus said to filter shills and move on.

 

Jesus and the Lex Talionis

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus is not setting aside the idea of restitution itself, nor the “law of the tooth” (the lex talionis as a standard of public justice.

 

Rather, Jesus is challenging his listeners to consider their attitudes so that they respond properly to personal injustice or insult. That insult (personal injury) rather than assault (public injury) is at issue here is suggested by the mention of the right cheek being struck. And it is clarified by the further illustration, “If someone wants to . . . take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well” (Matthew 5:40). Handling insults and matters of clothing (a basic human need) are not the realm of statecraft and public policy.

 

In truth, all four illustrations of nonretaliation—turning the other cheek, offering the shirt off your back, carrying someone’s baggage an extra mile, and lending to the one asking—correspond to the private domain. These are issues of personal inconvenience or abuse, not matters of public policy; they bespeak insult and not assault.

 

Personal Injury, Not State Policy

Thus, Jesus’s injunction not to resist evil (Matthew 5:39), contextually, must be located in the realm of personal injury, not state policy. Matthew 5–7 is not a statement on the nature and jurisdiction of the state or the governing authorities; rather, it concerns issues of personal discipleship. Its affinities are most closely with Romans 12:17–21, not Romans 13:1–7.

 

In the sphere of the personal and private, justice does not call for retribution. In the sphere of the public, where the magistrate is commissioned to protect and defend the common good, justice demands retribution. This is the unambiguous teaching of the New Testament and not the supposed “compromised” thinking of imperialism or Constantinianism, so called.

he struck no one. he cracked a whip to drive out the animals they were selling and flipped over their tables and shekel boxes. wouldn't you get angry if vendors showed up outside your church on sunday morning while people were filing in? he was pissed…but he physically harmed no one.
