0028 Violence: God of Peace.  Part of the dialectic on God´s character and violence.  Here I take the position that God is best revealed through Jesus Christ and it is through Him that we can best understand the scriptures and God Himself.  While Jesus certainly isn´t "nice", He is a peace maker and suffers violence rather than commits it to others.  At heart, He is about reconciliation, bringing all to Him to which He invites us, not forces us.
