Yes, it is a noble thing to sacrifice your life for a great cause, but it is a despicable thing to refuse to defend yourself from a life-threatening attack, since it becomes a cowardly suicide. Anyone who refuses to defend other people in life-threatening danger becomes an accomplice in their murder.
Those who believe Jesus was a complete pacifist should refer to the cleansing of the temple. He used a scourge of cords to chase everyone out, dumped their money, and overthrew tables.
I agree, read the whole bible!!!
