We hope to see you as a part of our community soon and God Bless!
I'm not exactly sure we can say this happens frequently.It's NOT normal or acceptable that high school and college-aged men frequently attack and murder 8-year-olds in a modern democratic society.
If all who claim to be Christians actually followed the teachings of the Christ, there would be no wars....(Matthew 5:9)Yet they both claim to be Christian what should they have done the Ukrainians, never defend their land let the Russians ride on in take over the country change everything. laid down their weapons and become russian or else. Imagine your country your house being taken over.
how big does your nous have to be? would size 6 pass the test? In any case the jews would probably get the most passes!Really, do you believe that 25 or so year old people have enough nous to be able to use a firearm appropriately.
I do not believe that having the nous to own and operate a firearm is actually age dependent.
Know what I mean?

And if people stopped believing the propaganda endlessly broadcast on MSM, we might have a very different view of all of it if we heard it from the other side. No one tells the truth because 1 John 5:19 has been in operation since Eden. Do we think God doesn't know? Do we think God needs humans to save this world?
And then we have Paul's counsel.....
Romans 12:17-21....
"Return evil for evil to no one. Take into consideration what is fine from the viewpoint of all men. 18 If possible, as far as it depends on you, be peaceable with all men. 19 Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but yield place to the wrath; for it is written: “‘Vengeance is mine; I will repay,’ says Jehovah.” 20 But “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by doing this you will heap fiery coals on his head.” 21 Do not let yourself be conquered by the evil, but keep conquering the evil with the good."
Do you see that being implemented by Christians today? Christendom's skirts are dripping in blood. (Isaiah 1:15)
Its not up to Christians to change the world....God will do that soon enough. If we have faith in the Bible, nothing will be a surprise to us.
Everything pertaining to the "time of the end" was prophesied in the book of Daniel....we are living it, edging ever closer to its foretold conclusion.
No amount of effort on the part of humans will stop what is going to take place.
The enemy within is stronger than the enemy without. Humans who ignore God are to blame for all of earth's woes.
Let go and let God....
Yes thank you. I noticed you are from Canada saying this. We have been plagued by the democrats here in the USA. It has been a nightmare. It's nice to see someone from another country understanding that and being supportive of our problems.Exactly.
Democrats are hypocrites.
Socialists are destroying the country.
Same story in Canada.
An ungodly bunch, promoting abortions, same sex relationships, and messing up de public school system.
And of course messing up the justice system.
You guys have been really taken in. Don't you realise the Hegelian dialectic is at work? Do you know what that is? It's been explained on this forum before so if you've missed it, you need to find out. Either ask or do your own research online.Yes thank you. I noticed you are from Canada saying this.

Agreed. The next option would be pipe bombs or something similar...and if that was to happen would we have to ban all materials a bomb could be made of? Oh mercy....
I was just discussing this yesterday with a friend. I said that every public school should have every child take a mental exam given every 3 years...just to measure where their thought process is.
And those who display aggressive and rebellious attitudes (or even those who have serious social issues) tested and even offered counseling if needed.
This would be preventative action and perhaps change any possible outcome had they not took these steps.
I am thinking exactly the same thing.
This country gives high tech weaponry to 18 yr olds in the military. If they bind gun ownerships to age 25, that sets up a strange double standard. The answer is then set military age at 25! No way that will fly.
There are rarely any mass shootings in Canada. Indeed firearms are a non-issue which have been made into an issue by Communist dictator and coward Justin Trudeau. He hates the idea that Canadians should be able to defend themselves if necessary, or go hunting if they so choose. He wants all firearms confiscated, but at least the western provinces are not cooperating with him. Trudeau has to go since he is determined to destroy Canada (just like Biden is determined to destroy America).Are there lots of mass shootings in Canada, Scott, where you are from? Is the gun debate significant there, do lots of people talk about these things??
The answer to your question is that Christians are to be "NO PART OF THE WORLD" as Christ was "NO PART Of THE WORLD". (John 17:14)You didn't answer the question when Russia invaded Ukraine what should of the people of Ukraine have done in the beginning or even now?. To be a peace maker with bullets flying from another country who wants to take the land convert people's citizenship to Russia?.
Let me hear the truth on the invasion and what the Ukrainians should do or should of responded to the invasion?
Hot dog and Lemonade stands on the road of the army Marching coming into the country?.
When it is not possible to hold the peace and another country is determined to take your house protect it.
Romans 12:21
Do not let yourself be conquered by the evil, but keep conquering the evil with the good."
Luke 11:21
When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:
You avoided the question again, what should ukraine have done when the neighboring country invaded their country?. It's a basic question you should be able to answer.The answer to your question is that Christians are to be "NO PART OF THE WORLD" as Christ was "NO PART Of THE WORLD". (John 17:14)
The world can do whatever it likes, but we are not to take part in any of it. This will make us unpopular....even hated. (John 15:18-21)The patriots cannot understand why we can "let god and let God". Its called faith.
What happens in this world is what God permits, and he needs no help from us. Do you somehow think God doesn't know what is going on, or what he is doing about it?
Do you understand that all that is transpiring was foretold 500 years before Christ walked this earth?
Daniel saw the crowning of God's King, (Daniel 7:13-14) and he also saw the coming of God's Kingdom in our own time (Daniel 2:44).....the current ruling authorities are the last human rulers in Daniel's prophesy. There are no others before the Kingdom of God crushes all other kingdoms out of existence and replaces them as man's only ruling authority. We are living in the most important time in human history because the end of this world system is looming and there is only one way to be saved....(Matthew 24:13; John 17:3) In a world in utter turmoil, we have to be found in peace. (2 Peter 3:11-14) We can have no blood on our hands. (Isaiah 1:15)
God's timing of events is not in our counting of time...they are vastly different.....all is taking place exactly as Yahweh said it would.
Seriously...do you not understand SEPARATION of Christians from a world ruled by the devil? (1 John 5:19) What part of the “whole world” is Satan not controlling? He offered Jesus “all the kingdoms of the world” in exchange for one act of worship....if he was not in possession of those kingdoms, (and those who rule them) then the temptation of Jesus would have been meaningless. Jesus did not refute his claim to be in possession of these kingdoms. (Luke 4:5-8) Satan boldly told Jesus that all these kingdoms had been delivered to him.....who alone could do that?You avoided the question again, what should ukraine have done when the neighboring country invaded their country?. It's a basic question you should be able to answer.
It appears you are dodging the question, is it because you can't present a logical answer?

Whatever “the world” under satan’s control does...it has NOTHING to do with us. We will NOT take part in any politically created bloodshed, even if we have to lose our own life, we will not preserve it by breaking God’s laws. (Luke 9:24)
Christians have to be NO PART OF THAT WORLD, which means not engaging in any political activity connected to rulership that would compromise our faith in God’s Kingdom as our only hope for peace and security on planet Earth. We do not have ‘dual citizenship’ that would compromise our loyalty.
No human “kingdom” will have our loyalty over the Kingdom in which we will have our future citizenship.
You can choose to support whatever kingdom you wish.....if you think God is not in control of all that transpires in this world....then you have no idea why God permits these things in the first place.
We let God take care of the devil’s world as he said he would....who better to do that? You and a bunch of misguided patriots with weapons? Please tell us where Jesus told us to do that.
