But your dutiful prayers for President Trump, in loving obedience to 1 Timothy 2:1,2 have gloriously resulted in God’s constant supernatural protection of Trump, and we thank you for being such a genuine Christian in this regard! “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers...

Cutting off an ear, when the intent is to kill, is not “proficient” sword usage. Jesus scolded Peter, He did not thank Peter. Jesus did not say, “Strike again!” Jesus said, “Put away thy sword!” Some people try to claim that Jesus wanted His disciples to arm themselves, to have weapons for...

Still waiting for you to tell us when believers defended themselves with weapons in the book of Acts. You evade this challenge for obvious reasons. I am affiliated with those who take the words of Jesus seriously when He said: Turn the other cheek. Love your enemies. Do good unto those who...

I admire people who evaded the draft or filed as conscientious objectors. They avoided killing people that a corrupt government wanted them to kill.

Then point to an instance in NT scripture when believers defended themselves with weapons. Believers died defenselessly as martyrs, they did not kill anyone. If disciples were arming themselves, surely there would be instructions on when and how to use weapons, since that is a major issue...

I hope you do not mean Christians should abandon evangelism and missionary work, and become carnal to wage physical war and murder Muslims, like the vile, barbaric pseudo-Christian Crusaders did. Our evangelistic war of words has gained absolutely nothing? Where do you get your statistics...

And what happened when Peter used his sword? Jesus rebuked him. Why did Jesus say to buy a sword, then say two was enough? The two swords were not for self defense or for killing those who attack. Two swords would not be nearly enough to combat the Roman soldiers who were coming to arrest...
