Why were the last nearly 2000 years of Christianity militarized and fulfilled every prophesy given to Jacob-Israel through "colonization?"\
It's a simple question.

Because after Christianity was no longer a persecuted minority, and instead suddenly in possession of overwhelming state power, their default stance of absolute pacifism became too inconvenient to maintain. So they radically reinterpreted their theology on the spot in response to social and political pressure.
Christianity has always reshaped itself like jelly to adapt cleanly to its external circumstances from that point onwards, never actually holding staunchly to a single unchanging truth system. I suppose that this is the result of base human opportunism, and soft evidence that the religion's truth claims are false.

So when God told White King David to mass genocide all the Palestinians and jews in 2 Samuel and 1 Kings that was "default stance of absolute pacifism?" lmfao

I answered your question, which was highly charitable of me considering you've been refusing to engage with my core point for this entire discussion. If you'd like the thread to continue, do me the courtesy of directly answering mine.

Christianity started small and was massively growing and learning. Almost all of the Apostles were brutally murdered, one of which survived two execution attempts. To think that they would somehow go guns blazing and kill everyone who disagreed with them immediately then state that's "default Christianity and the next 1800 years are false" is both asinine and retarded, it's maximum jewish subversion. That's your answer. Now shut the fuck up, admit you're wrong, say Christ is King and kill some jews.

You're assuming that's what they desired to do. You have no evidence of this. The church fathers I quoted are evidence against this, as they reflected what most Christians believed during that time period. There's no verifiable reason to suggest that people claiming "we refuse to use weapons for any reason" and letting their enemies kill them had a secret wish to go "guns blazing."
My point still stands that the later militarization of the religion is objectively incongruent with not just its behavior, but its patristic writings during the first couple centuries. I'm not making an absolute truth/falsehood claim, I'm saying my personal stance leans towards falsehood as the most likely explanation for that incongruency.

Your turn.
