Guest>He turned it off after he gave them the go-ahead in general to defend theirselves!
No, only in defense of taking him to the government. His advice for all christians is to be determined to pursue happiness with God in the holy place in his sacrifice. Not to be cucked into slavery. You can be a scrotebrained Apartment Dweller in Great Britain if you want for the dear government which wants to kill you. But you need to shutup about Christian doctrine if you think you can actually order christians to disarm.All the Saints have the Lord to deliver them, whether they be silly or wrathful.
>Job
>Chapter 5
>1Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn?>2For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.
Proverbs 2:8 He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
9 Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.
>Revelation 11:18 “And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead that they should bee iudged, and that thou shouldest giue reward vnto thy seruants the Prophets, and to the Saints, & them that feare thy Name, small and great, and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.”
Hmm what are Little Saints and Big Saints? Sounds like something else in the Bible…
>Revelation 14:12-13 kjv 12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
>13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
>Revelation 13:10 “He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.”
Hmm saints of wraith/faith, and saints of patience. How do those work???
I already know how btw.

GuestA saint is not wrathful, How did all the saints die? You do not disarm yourself instead ask God to apply his will through you in times of strife or struggle. Through faith alone you can overcome evil, problem is peoples faith are weak. Gods will is all that matters and if He wants to work through you to defend yourself or your family he will. "God I pray that you protect me and my family from the evils of the world. Your will be done! I am your vessel of truth and righteousness."

Not sorry, better study up since you want to argue. Jesus saves.-

GuestI think you are arguing with the wrong person. I am saying not to kill unless God wills it and works through you. Seems I have studied scripture more than you. Dying in flesh is of no concern. Just seems like you are a pussy afraid of death, meaning your faith is weak.

Guest>Luke 22:36
This is why verse picking is wrong, and people really need to stop doing it. Christ is telling them to get those things so that the Pharisees have a "claim" they can make to arrest him, which is that he is trying to start an insurrection against the Romans by claiming his the king of the garden gnomes and use passover as the signal to start the rebellion. Anyone who uses it to justify killing in self-defence or going to war has not read the scripture. You’re just as bad as the Southern Slave owners who kept on cherrypicking scripture to justify chattel slavery.-

Guest>Incoming Christians are supposed to be passive posts
Root out the evil within your camp. If something is causing sin get rid of it by any means necessary. But of course those snakes will twist and say we should lie down and do nothing, jesus would have never whipped those garden gnomes from his fathers temple if passivity was his motto. Also fuck jannies.-

GuestSometimes, yes.
>Again, death caused, not by intent or design, but by accident, is not murder. He that killeth his neighbour ignorantly, says the book of Deuteronomy, and who is proved to have had no hatred against him yesterday and the day before, but to have gone with him to the wood to hew wood, and in cutting down the tree the axe slipt out of his hand, and the iron slipping from the handle struck his friend and killed him, shall live. Such accidental deaths, because inflicted without intent or design, involve no guilt whatever, and this is confirmed by the words of St. Augustine: God forbid that what we do for a good and lawful end shall be imputed to us, if, contrary to our intention, evil thereby befall any one
…
>If a man kill another in self-defence, having used every means consistent with his own safety to avoid the infliction of death, he evidently does not violate this Commandment.
-as decided by the Council of Trent, 1566tl;dr accidental killing is not murder and does not violate the commandment against murder- killing an assailant in defense of yourself when there’s no other option is, inherently, a situation outside of your control, and so does not violate the commandment.

GuestKilling is also said to be justified when fighting for a just or holy cause or to eradicate evil
>For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
>For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
-Romans 13:4also forbidden by the fifth commandment:
>to fight duels, appointing a set time and place, for private interest, or punctilios of honour
>To seek, wish, or desire our own, or any other man’s death, out of impatience or passion, or to cause women with child to miscarry.

GuestNo, by faith alone you can overcome evil or sins against you, problem is majority do not believe with a pure heart and without a doubt. God will protect you against any evil if it is his will he states that multiple times. If God is for you, who can be against you. The problem with people today is they are so fixated on their physical lives they do not understand that your actual life begins after death if you are saved. "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."
In short people really are scared pussies so afraid of death they will try to justify killing someone in self defense instead of accepting either their fate or letting God handle his will through faith alone. Their faith is very weak.

GuestIf it is Gods will and faith is strong he will give you strength to overcome the challenge, you must just have faith and let Gods will flow through you so if God decides it is not your time he will smite evil either through you or directly in some form. As long as you are driven by your faith and stand firm in righteousness no evil can destroy you and God will make sure of it. “What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?”

GuestMay still be wrong or even evil, but I’d rather risk my soul than the souls of my family. What is more likely to put their souls and faith in jeaopardy? A) a father who defends them and kills someone who wants to terrorize them, who also make it clear that while necessary in this case, killing is not a good thing. Or B) a father that stands by as an evil man terrorize his family. I would rather sully my own soul with a killing in self defense than let a greater evil happen to my family.
Most of the biblical narrative is people who are forced to pick between one or two morally wrong options, and how they deal with the fallout. In life it is less about doing what is right or wrong in most cases, it is about doing the least wrong. Is it wrong to kill? Yes. Is it wrong to kill a man who would terrorize your family? Yes, but it is also wrong to let a man terrorize your family when you can do something to prevent it. A shepherd who lets wolves kill his sheep is not a good shepherd.

>A. It is lawful to kill when fighting in a just war; when carrying out by order of the Supreme Authority a sentence of death in punishment of a crime; and, finally, in cases of necessary and lawful defence of one’s own life against an unjust aggressor.

Guest>Matthew 5:38-48: You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you. “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
That’s what Jesus himself said, without any ‘but’s or exceptions. Anything else is coming from fallible humans who want their interpretation of the Bible to be above the Bible.-
