Too often we engage in a fight merely to convince ourselves that we are not afraid. [1]
When the early chiefs would try to iron out misunderstandings, they often found it necessary, at least once a year, to permit the tribal stone fights. The clan would divide up into two groups and engage in an all-day battle. And this for no other reason than just the fun of it; they really enjoyed fighting. [2] Since Eden Garden times play, humor and competitive substitutes for physical fighting were practiced. [3]
Jesus never got into personal combat. Before any attack he first discriminated if the aggressor was a son of God, and he only applied force if that person did not possess moral judgment and spiritual reason. But if he were a son of God he would not use force or self-defense against him, and he would try to use any artifice to appease him. [4]
When Jesus defended a slave girl in Crete from a drunken degenerate who was attacking her it is the closest Jesus ever came to a fight with a fellow, but thanks to his strong arms Jesus prevented the incident from escalating into something more. [5]
