Nonviolence is normative

"Jesus counseled 'love your enemies' and then modeled that behavior for his followers. In so doing he revealed the nature of God. Jesus demonstrated that God shows unending, non-coercive patients with humanity . . . The fact that God acts toward humanity in this way and Christ expects us to forgive as God has forgiven us points to a nonviolent way of life as normative for Christ's followers." ~ Terrence J. Rynne
