What personal philosophy or mindset diverted Jesus from ever using violence?
jesus said the most important commandment after the one that sais to love our god and to put him before every other thing or person, he sais that we should love our neighbours and that its very easy for us to love those who are good to us , however it is what God wants us to do when we love and pray to those who hurt us.another reason is that jesus came not to condemn us but to save us....

What personal philosophy or mindset diverted Jesus from ever using violence?
The disciples call for vegnance as they are angry to see Jesus rejected. He says that he came to bring salvation not to destroy human life. It`s not so much turning the other cheek but offering a constructive hand being meek and humble and not to give in to resentment and anger. When wounded answer with love. Accepting more wounds should they come all in the name of that Law of Love that he brought to us. Be injured rather than injure. So many practical examples in life in dealings on work or family difficult relationships .- hard to think of one on the spot. Just think of when you were treated rashly or unjustly - right now dealing with a very tough and unreliable client for a translation - and even though you come back home foaming at the mouth for the injustice of not being paid for a job done you think of how to deal with the person justly. Not to fall in the devil`s trap ''and persevering like the persistent widow''. He`s teaching us a powerful combination of toughness and meekness rooted in righteosuness and the faith that should we lose in this world, we are gaining a victory in the one that truly matters.

Lord jesus is rejecting the violent actions even their philosophies are strong or their mindset is to destroy others life just to follow their rules.Lord Jesus come to this world in peace for he is a prince of peace, we can say the samaritans are pagans but their lives are important and they will leaved in God side and learn the christian religion by peace and not by swords.

Samaritan Opposition

It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem, and sent messengers before his face. They went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him. They didn't receive him, because he was traveling with his face set towards Jerusalem. When his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, "Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky, and destroy them, just as Elijah did?"
But he turned and rebuked them, "You don't know of what kind of spirit you are. For the Son of Man didn't come to destroy men's lives, but to save them."
They went to another village.
