I believe Titus 3:9 is saying that we should not argue with those who want to keep the Old Jewish Laws. Titus 3:9 NLT says: “Do not get involved in foolish discussions about spiritual pedigrees or in quarrels and fights about obedience to Jewish laws. These things are useless and a waste of...

It’s been a long time since I debated an SDA Christian. I try to stay away from such discussions because of Titus 3:9. So my apologies for mischaracterizing the beliefs of Seventh Day Adventists in that they believe they must keep all 613 Laws of Moses. I do recall now one SDA Christian I...

So then you were lying. As for Christians who would not do such violence. Wel, I am not talking about nominal Christians in name only who don’t know Christ. They are not real Christians but fake or counterfeit ones. A real Christian has Christ abiding in them and is guided by His Word (the...

Actually, I am not a mind reader. I did not know your true heart intentions. No Christian would even hypothetically say this. They would use a third party example of an unbeliever. To live is Christ, and to die is gain. Peter wanted to stop Jesus from going to the cross. Peter wanted to...

So you don’t believe in a literal Second Coming of Jesus Christ where He wipes out evil nations by a real physical battle? If that is the case, then that is very strange that you would reject such a basic and plain reading in Scripture, friend.

But that’s not the end of the story in Scripture. We don’t see your scenario of battle being played out at all with the swords being used to win some kind of physical battle. Actually, the exact opposite happened. Jesus rebuked Peter for using his sword. 1. Jesus warned Peter that he that...

I am a New Testament Non-Resistant Christian. In other words, I believe our Lord did not want us to kill others under any circumstance while we live out our faith under the New Covenant contract. But that does not mean that the Lord will not return and destroy evil people who refuse to repent...

Yes, I am in 100% full agreement that, and I am willing to follow my Lord into physical battle at His Second Coming to bring justice to those who are in disobedience to GOD when our obedience is fulfilled in this life. 2 Corinthians 10:6 “And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience...

The Lordship Salvation doctrine that existed before John MacArthur and company is a true doctrine. It is biblical. But the version of Lordship Doctrine taught later by Calvinists (like John MacArthur, and Gotquestions) is not the same doctrine. I believe John MacArthur and other Calvinists (I...

Remember the golden rule: Do unto others as you want done unto your self. Would you want a believer coming into your home and beating you to death because they don’t agree with your theology? Is that the love of Christ? Did Jesus beat His disciples into unconsciousness when they did not...

But what if I had a condition and you killed me? Is that what the Lord wants? Does he want you to kill other believers in Jesus Christ? To even talk about this hypothetically makes me worry about you. I am truly worried you don’t know the Lord if you threaten other believers with violence...

1 John 2:6 says, “He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.” Jesus never once ever killed or physically harmed anyone. If we are to walk as Jesus Christ walked, and follow His life, then violence is not what He taught. Jesus took the beatings and was...

To help folks understand my position: I am not against the use of gun ownership. I am just against the use of violence to kill or harm somebody. Obviously in the New Testament, they were allowed to eat meat. Peter was a fishermen. He killed fish (which is a part of the animal kingdom)...

It is not disingenuous at all, friend. If you were in a military unit: And your commanding officer told you to go on a mission that was non-violent, then it does not mean that your commanding officer cannot command you to go on a mission later that is violent. While on this Earth living out...

It does not matter what we think. If Jesus taught Non-Resistance under the New Covenant (Not the Old Covenant, and obviously not His Return at His 2nd Coming), then that is a truth we have to accept whether we like it or not. We are not our own lords and masters. Jesus is LORD.

No. Pacifism is saying that all forms of violence is unjustified. This would mean I would have to be against the Old Testament violence, be against the violence of the cross (that saves us), and be against the violence of Christ’s Second Coming (of which I am not against). I know. I used to...

Please see post #142 to clear up your confusion on what I actually believe. I don’t believe in Pacifism, I believe in Non-Resistance. There’s a difference.

Understanding my position here: Non-Resistance: Non-Resistance is simply not being resistant with retaliating in violence to harm another when we are attacked. This does not mean we cannot run, hide, or incapacitate a person in a non-violent way our attacker. It means that we will not seek to...

Luke 2:14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for...

New Covenant Non-Violence While We Live Out Our Faith is Moral and Good: By Bible Highlighter. Christians are to walk by faith and not by sight. For without faith, it is impossible to please God. Trusting in the verses or passages in the Bible on nonresistance takes faith. You have to first...
