People can justify just about anything they want using the Bible. It does not mean they are correct. Jim Jones started the Peoples Temple of the Disciples of Christ, originally Peoples Temple Full Gospel Church and commonly shortened to Peoples Temple. But we all know what happened in his...

Some gun focused Christians try to use Romans 13 out of context to defend their belief in blowing people’s heads off. Some will will try to say that the “higher powers” is in reference to Christians when this is clearly not the case when we read everything in context. For the “higher powers”...

In other words, if what you say is true, we need to see a demonstration in New Testament Scripture of a doctrine by one of the apostles that says something like this: “Brethren, if you are persecuted for Christ, do not act in violence, and die for your faith not raising a fist or sword against...

No. It’s not my job to try and defend your belief with the New Testament anymore than I would expect you to do the same with mine. I believe you are unable to defend your belief using New Testament Scripture. That’s the whole point. So the ball is back in your court. If you don’t want to...

What other kind of Christians are we supposed to imitate? Morality does not change with the passage of time.

Even before the Old Covenant was officially ended with Christ’s death, Jesus was making changes to the Old Law or Old ways. The Pharisees pointed out how a woman caught in the act of adultery should have been stoned according to the Law of Moses. Did Jesus kill her according to the Law? He...

I said New Testament and not Old Testament. We are New Testament Christians. There is no such thing as an Old Testament Christian. Christians did not exist until the New Testament. So unless God is talking to you verbally whereby He is telling you to wipe out whole people groups, or nations...

To all: Also, can folks honestly say that they are not being influenced by their past experience involving guns? Did you used to be a Pacifist and then when you read the New Testament, you changed? I highly doubt it. More than like you were a gun carrying believer before coming to Christ...

New Testament chapter and verse please. If your thinking does not exist in the New Testament or church history then it doesn’t exist. Our thoughts are not God’s thoughts. You either believe in the sufficiency of Scripture alone (plus the Anointing to understand it) or you trust also in your...

See. This is why many keep saying silly things like:…. “But what if your family was faced with this guy with a gun and, he does this or that?” What of it? If the Lord Jesus taught me Non-Violence (of which I believe He clearly did), that is something I must accept. The import thing for me to...

To all: This topic really comes down to believing Jesus and or the New Testament. Are we going to run off and do our own thing? Or are we going to believe Jesus and His followers? That’s how I deal with this topic. Even early church history and quotes of the early church fathers prove that...

The problem is that the gun carrying Christians think things are random in life and evil falls upon all people by the random throw of the dice outside of God’s will. They don’t believe Romans 8:28. Why? Perhaps they are not loving God to truly know? Maybe they are justifying sin and they...

If you believe Romans 8:28 then nothing that is not ordained by God cannot happen to you that you deem is unjust or not in God’s plan. That’s what you don’t understand. You prefer your gun over the reality of Romans 8:28 and Psalms 91:10-12. In other words: You need a gun because you don’t...

Remember that conversation before about how I encountered other SDA’s who could not stop talking about the Sabbath? Seems like you are joining them. But it’s not about the Sabbath anymore. That is just a shadow or picture pointing forward to Jesus Christ who is the real Sabbath rest, my...

@Qoheleth I would say that the two most challenging or unclear pieces of Scripture on the gospel is: #1. Matthew 24:13-14, and #2. Revelation 14:6-7. Matthew 24:13-14 13 “But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all...

I believe there is only one gospel. I believe the gospel is 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. 1st Corinthians 15:1-4 1 “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I...

Source: Hebrews 10 BSB Notice who is speaking here? It is Jesus Christ. Jesus came to do the will of God the Father. So when we read: “the volume of the book it is written of Me,) to do thy will, O God,” this is in reference to Jesus saying these words and not us. Jesus was fulfilling the...

I am passionate for what the Word of God says. You need to make your biblical case that believers can insult other believers and if they don’t accept such insults (as a part of just having fun), then they need to lighten up. Now, the ball is back in your court.

Do you believe you have to build an Ark like Noah to avoid a global flood? Or do you just pick and choose which parts of the Bible you want to believe in? See how that works? In other words, not all commands in the Bible apply to the same people group. Again read Acts 15. Don’t keep...
