That wasn't His kingdom on earth..........it was only a type/shadow of His heavenly kingdom which comes not with observation that you may say lo here it is or there, but is within us.

Not for the first time, you are pitting one scripture against another. Angels or no angels, and God's will being done doesn't nullify that Jesus instructed Peter saying, if you live by the sword you will die by the sword.

Can you not see the parable/allegory there? Spiritual captivity and deliverance? Tithes/thanks to the High Priest who is after another order than the Law?

Ears to hear, sister: 1Ch 22:8-9 But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight. Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be...

I can hardly believe my ears that any born again believer would call the milk that the old covenant Israelites were feeding on, meat. Even the milk that new Christian believers drink as the basic fundamentals of the faith is higher (more spiritual) than what the Israelites had. The physical...

He certainly has changed the priesthood and therefore the law that we are to follow. If we are still following a carnal commandment, we are not following Christ and His new covenant. Heb 7:11-19 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the...

Didn't you understand my previous reply when you gave the Boko Haram scenario?

He always has a remnant, but if we can't see that there is a general falling away occurring, it must be because we're in it and cant' see the forest for the trees. Scandal after scandal after scandal.....and what God is exposing is just the leaders, the tip of the iceberg. If we can't see that...

He did those things under the old covenant, not the new. We are to serve in the new way of the SPIRIT now.

I believe a country can be deemed to be "Christian" when a preponderance of its citizens and rulers adhere to Christianity. This has been the case with western civilization for many generations. That's when the laws and overall lifestyle of the nation generally reflect biblical teachings. In...

Believe it or not the world recognizes hypocrisy within Christianity and is often quick to call it out. There are ways in which the children of the world are wiser than the children of light, as Jesus said. We're to be a holy nation that is not of this world......in the world but not of...

Be it done unto us according to our faith. I can't say what my faith would be in the heat of a moment like that or what grace and strength the Lord might give me. I pray that I would not have hate in my heart. Hatred is murder. Perhaps I would only threaten or maybe shoot to wound in order...

I think we should look at what the new testament teaches and how the early church (and Jesus) responded to persecution. In more recent times, I've heard of those under heavy persecution asking that we pray not for the persecution to stop, but that their faith would hold. God's wisdom and ways...

Amen. (Had to cut out some of your post to make room for a reply.) And in a nutshell the path of growth is the narrow path. It's the path of not my will but His will be done. Obeying the Lord often requires sacrifice and denial of our own will. But as we keep to the narrow path, enduring...

Amen. I sometimes think repentance is one of the best kept secrets of Christendom. But God promises that if we confess our sins to Him He will be faithful and just to forgive and cleanse us. It's essential for our growth and taking ground in our lives/hearts for the Lord. Many are afraid to...

Bible says all things HAVE been put under His feet, but we do not yet SEE all things put under. The last enemy we will see/experience being defeated is death. Satan HAS been defeated and Christ HAS conquered (why we are more than conquerors through Him). This happened at the cross......and...

Isn't He ruling and reigning already..? Jesus told us that all power and authority in heaven and earth was given to Him. And when He walked the earth He said "If I by the finger of God heal the sick and cast out demons, the kingdom has come to you." That's how He rules and reigns, and the...

In any manner He wills. Whether to move another government to send an army, or to directly cause the murderers to stop their murdering, or to send a Christian army to spread the gospel and change hearts that way. Or all of the above. It's always up to the Lord and His wisdom how or if He will...

Jesus said His kingdom is NOT of this world but is within us. And the rod of iron is the rod of His mouth......His word (sword), including rebuke when necessary.

Do you believe we should rally together an army from the churches.....and send Christians overseas to kill one people in order to defend another people? That isn't what the church is for. We aren't that kind of army. What we can do is be praying and asking God to intervene.......if it is His...
