[1 Peter 2:8] And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
Jesus is able to assume a warfare stance when it comes to confronting unbelievers who reject Him. When we are sure of His presence in our lives (like I am) we do not have to fear His judgment which will be on those who refuse to listen and heed.
