What would Jesus have said about his name being associated with the Koran ?
I do not think he would be pleased.

I think he lives in England. His allegiance wouldn't be of course.

Jesus said, "show compassion to your enemies". "Feed your enemy" "pray for your enemy" so unlike Islam who want to kill, steal and curse their enemy.

Josephus,

He also allowed, in fact, He encouraged his Disciples to carry swords and as the Second Person of the Trinity was not only the Son of God but also God; therefore He knew all things and thus knew that one of his followers was going to cut off the Centurion's ear, thus He condoned violence.

Is Mise,
The disciple Peter carrying the dagger was formerly a Jewish zealot and sympathizer protesting against Roman occupation and Jewish appointees of Rome. Jesus said to him "those that live by the sword will die by the sword" he also told him when he is converted to encourage his brothers. This event is concurrently remembered at each passover, if Jesus condoned violence he would not have told Peter to put away his dagger, and he would not have healed Malchus ear, the ear of his arrestor and he would have fought against his crucifixion.

Jesus was human in the flesh; born of Mary and fathered in the lineage of King David as told by Matthew protovellion. His spirit was born of God and revealing God in holy character, compassionate and pure motives and actions and giving divine wisdom. These things define the nature of God to humanity. God is not a trinity - God is One in character, action and wisdom.

Josephus,

You belong to a minority (very!) Christian school of thought.

The instruction to put up the sword was not a command not to have a sword, in fact Jesus had previously instructed those of his followers who did not have swords to buy them.
The observation that those who live by the sword is true but does not refer to his followers who had swords for protection and who did not live by the sword, that is they were not bandits, robbers or soldiers etc.
