'Force' in the Bible

From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been suffering violence, and the violent have been seizing it by force.

Some soldiers also questioned him: “What should we do?”He said to them, “Don’t take money from anyone by force or false accusation; be satisfied with your wages.”

Therefore, when Jesus knew that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him king, He withdrew again to the mountain by Himself.

Then the commander went with the temple police and brought them in without force, because they were afraid the people might stone them.

For a will is valid only when people die, since it is never in force while the one who made it is living.
