SPIRITUAL CONNECTIONS ON VIOLENCE
He who achieves power by violence does not truly become lord or master. --SAINT THOMAS AQUINAS (1225–1274) Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. --MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. (1929–1968) The violence done to us by others is often less painful than that which we do to ourselves. --FRANÇOIS, DUC DE LA ROCHEFOUCAULD (1613–1680) Violence defeats its own ends. --WILLIAM HAZLITT (1778–1830) Violence is a lie, for it goes against the truth of our faith, the truth of our humanity. Violence destroys what it claims to defend: the dignity, the life, the freedom of human beings. Violence is a crime against humanity for it destroys the very fabric of society. --POPE JOHN PAUL II
BIBLICAL CONNECTIONS ON VIOLENCE Adapted from Holman's Bible Dictionary
Violence in the Bible is to use of force to injure or wrong. The Hebrew Scriptures affirm that God hates violence (Mal. 2:16). The flood was God’s response to a world filled and corrupted by violence (Gen. 6:11, 13). The Exile was likewise God’s response to a Jerusalem filled with violence (Ezek. 7:23). The Wisdom Literature often warns that those who live lives of violence will meet violent ends (Ps. 7:16; Prov. 1:18-19; 21:7; compare Matt. 26:52). Through the prophets God demanded an end to violence (Jer. 22:3; Ezek. 45:9). Such violence was especially evidenced in the oppression of the poor by the rich (Ps. 55:9, 11; 73:6; Jer. 22:17; Mic. 6:12; Jas. 5:1-6). The servant of the Lord models a nonviolent response to violence (Isa. 53:9; compare 1 Pet. 2:23; Jas. 5:6). Isaiah anticipated the end of violence in the Messianic age (60:18).
