You never proved that it was used as you claim it was. You have provided no evidence at all.
There was no concept of a hippie pacifist in Jesus day.
Of course there was. Pacifism is an ancient concept. The word "pacifist" is based on the Roman word "pac", meaning "peace". And we have already talked about the greek word for pacifist...
Jesus did not have to say he flooed the world. The Bible says He did. Jesus is God remember?.
Technically, Jesus never claimed that he was God, only that he was the son of God. It wasnt until long after his death that the concept of the Holy Trinity came into existence.
Look in Revelation for Jesus with the weapon in His hand and the blood! And who is the Judge that sends people to hell? Is this not Jesus? Gahndi wold never do that!.
The book of Revelation has nothing to do with the teachings of Jesus. They were written after his death, most likely by someone who never knew him, and were completely unrelated to him

Jesus is not a pacifist, obviously.
No, Jesus was most obviously a pacifist.

I provided much proof. You provided some for me too in the ISBE. The term was Greek as I and the ISBE proved. The term meant peace the Roman way, Pax Romana as you just now agreed to. I showed you a coin that showed the Roman Idea of peace through strength. Case closed!
