Christians obey the teaching and follow the example of Jesus and the apostles.

Those who kill followers of Jesus and the apostles aren’t obeying the teaching of Jesus and the apostles, nor are they following the example of Jesus and the apostles.

Jesus and the apostles didn’t kill Christians.
But Jesus will kill Christians. You keep wanting to only talk about what he did Tuesday as if that is the totally of what he did and will do. Jesus told us even those who perform miracles in his name, he never knew. The Lake of Fire awaits, where Jesus will end of killing more people than anyone in history. This you ignore.

* Wisely conceding my point that Jesus and the apostles didn’t kill Christians. *

Well now. Why will Jesus do that?

I haven’t ignored it. You yourself have acknowledged in the past that I haven’t ignored it. Remember?

To constantly say what Jesus didn’t do is tacitly denying what he will do and we should model that demonstration.

No. I’ve said he will do it. You know that.

I’ve also said wait for Jesus. You know that too.

He remembers. I posted the link to it in this thread on Friday.

So what is really going on here, readers? It’s yet another fiery dart from the devil.

Is that a pic of a war ship?

Yea they recreated it just for show.

When people are too dishonest to answer a simple question and keep repeating illogical statements then I figure they're not trying to have a discussion in good faith and I just ignore their nonsense.

For example his admitted that the reconquista was justified but keeps trying to disrespect it.
He admits we should protect our family and the vulnerable but not with "weapons of the world".
When I asked what he means, wheather we should take on an armed man bare handed, he refused to answer me.

So to me Matthias is just an antagonistic troll. Not worth having a conversation with.

I’m a retired Christian pastor. I teach, preach, and model the Messiah’s gospel of peace to people who don’t.

Not worth having a conversation with.

To me, you’re a person - your ancestors were Catholic, are you? - who celebrates Catholics killing Muslims, Jews and Christians.

Christians don’t celebrate the killing of Christians. Non-Christians do.

The Imam I spoke with privately at a mosque in Atlanta, back in 2007, was at least partially right.

Those who obey the teaching of Jesus will be persecuted by those who celebrate killing them.

The mosque has never been, and never will be, my refuge.

Invitation declined.

Here’s the correct answer.


Your enemy is your mission field.” -John MacArthur

Will the enemy change their mind?

Some will. Some won’t.

Either way, the follower of Jesus has done what he or she was commissioned by him to do.

Don’t destroy your mission field.
