On another thread yesterday you told me you did not want to hear what I believed. Why is it then that you press for everyone here to listen to what you believe?
"Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence." John 18:36
You need to learn to use the "quote" function and talk to only one person at the time. Your generalizations as if everyone here were the same are confusing. All you have to do to reply to a person is hit both the "quote" and the "reply" buttons in the lower right corner of the post and a copy of that post will appear in brackets in the field where you want to reply. Just be sure not to type anything inside of the other guy's brackets.
You are putting words in someone's mouth. No one said what you are saying and no one here to my knowledge believes that. If you want to discuss or even just declare your beliefs at least be honest about it. Someone was referring to these verses in the scriptures, but you jumped to a conclusion without checking or asking. That you don't care what others believe is one thing, but to accuse someone of saying this is dishonest. As I already said, learn to use the "quote" and "reply" functions so that you do not carelessly misquote a person...
This is not so. It is not an uncommon occurrence for people who do not use the quote and reply function through neglect or ignorance to miscommunicate by accusing a person of believing something and it turns out to be the wrong person... Is is not better to remain silent than to do something like that? If you are honest and careful, you are more like to gain respect even from people who disagree with you.
A kingdom implies a monarchy, or it's not a kingdom. A kingdom with no queen would have been unthinkable to 1st century Jewish Christians who were trained in Scripture since childhood. A King without a queen, Eve with no New Eve, Daughter of Zion without Israel does violence to Scripture and all of Christian history.
Actually I have received more than one... but that is my testimony for me. I also received a postcard from my own mother in the flesh weeks after she was deceased. God does work in ways mysterious to us at times, but don't be surprised if other people do not receive your testimony as Truth. We really need to believe in God by faith:
So are you saying that verse I quoted doesn't mean what it says about fighting? That was what Jesus was saying and it is what I was responding to in that post.
Even if this were so, what would it mean to God who knows us all including all of our flaws... better than we know ourselves?
Discuss if you will, but don't call people's beliefs unfounded names because you disagree with them. No brownie points for that!
Ok, then. If you don't believe in the Catholic Mary, you are the seed of Satan. You heard it here first!
We aren't to put our trust in videos, or shrouds or Jesus' mother. Show me where scripture tells me to put my faith in those things. Nope, only in Jesus!
