That is a really good point but I don't think that dogma and absolute truth are the same. For example am I being dogmatic when I insist that 2 + 2 = 4? Or am I being dogmatic if someone breaks into my house and I do whatever I can to defend my family?
Interestingly in one of the passages about Jesus doing this it talks about His zeal.
G2205 ζῆλος, zēlos, dzay'-los
From G2204; properly heat, that is, (figuratively) “zeal” (in a favorable sense, ardor; in an unfavorable one, jealousy, as of a husband [figuratively of God], or an enemy, malice): - emulation, envy (-ing), fervent mind, indignation, jealousy, zeal.
Which made me wonder what is the difference between being passionate about something and being dogmatic about something?
