According to the book of Jude Jesus was responsible for destroying disbelievers of the OLD (he's not a prince of peace after all)
Below I have made a list of a Few versions from the book of Jude explicitly telling us Jesus was responsible for killing disbelievers of the Old, I'll also give scholarly commentators writing to prove my point
---------------------------
So I want to remind you, though you already know these things, that Jesus first rescued the nation of Israel from Egypt, but later he destroyed those who did not remain faithful. (Jude 1:5 NLT)
Now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that Jesus, who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.
(Jude 1:5 ESV)
Now I desire to remind you (even though you have been fully informed of these facts once for all) that Jesus, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, later destroyed those who did not believe. (Jude 1:5 NET Bible)
I will therefore admonish you, though ye once knew all things, that Jesus, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, did afterwards destroy them that believed not:
(Jude 1:5 Douay-Rheims Bible)
----------------------------------------------------------
From the above passages we read Jesus was responsible for saving people out of the land of Egypt and destroying the disbelievers??
The ESV, NTL, NET, DRB are very brave here. Nevertheless, I here quote Realms of Faith, an inerrantist website:
The difficult issue here is that there is impressive manuscript support for reading Jesus instead of Lord - and great reasons for a scribe to change it. The resulting text has Jesus saving the people from Egypt and then destroying those who rebelled. To date, the NET, ESV, and NLT2 are the only translations to read this way.
How about the commentators what do they have to say? Let's read :
_________________________________
Gills Exposition of the entire Bible
the Alexandrian copy, and some others, the Vulgate Latin, and Ethiopic versions, instead of "the Lord", read "Jesus": and yet, though they were a special people, and notwithstanding this wonderful deliverance, and great salvation, he afterward destroyed them that believed not; their carcasses fell in the wilderness by one judgment or another upon them; so that of all that came out of Egypt, but two entered into the land of Canaan
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
the Lord—The oldest manuscripts and versions read, "Jesus." So "Christ" is said to have accompanied the Israelites in the wilderness; so perfectly is Jesus one with the God of the Israelite theocracy.
IS THIS CLEAR ENOUGH! NEXT TIME CHRISTIANS SAY JESUS WAS A MAN OF PEACE THROW THIS ON THERE FACE!!!!!!! UNLESS THEY REJECT THE BIBLE PASSAGES THEN THIS WOULD MEAN THE BIBLE IS NOT INSPIRED ANYMORE.s not a prince of peace after all)
