    Reason for The Crusades explained

    I have listened to various messages re Eph 6:10-12 + 13-17. They're a 'fence sitter' for me regarding physical self-defense against an actual person. Matt 5:21-22 & Rom 13:4 for me are enough to justify self-defense of yourself & innocent others. Others may think otherwise

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Rom 13:4 A human (minister) executing wrath on a human that does evil. Minister kills someone about to murder. Thou shalt not (pre-planned intentionally) kill is the sin

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Matt 5:21-22 appears to receive further support from Paul. Rom 13:4 4For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

    Should we as Christians support the State of Israel ?

    I see you are responding to someone who believes the JW NWT is a reliable translation, no wonder you're laughing :) JW NWT John 1:1 ""in reality he says that the Watchtower translation of John 1:1 "A grossly misleading translation. It is neither scholarly nor reasonable to translate John l:1...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    ""He thinks he would let the invaders kill him and his family. We would defend ourselves. That's where we differ"" Matt 5:21-22 I believe supports your right to defend your family because you ARE NOT 'without a cause' 21... Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the...

    The Diluted Gospel

    ""and no longer a slave to sin and the flesh."" Yet in some way we ALL still willfully sin in some way. There's a simple test that confirms it for those prideful enough to claim they no longer do !!

    If You Linger

    Acts is transitional - be careful how you apply what to who :) List the verses in Acts that teaches ALL BELIEVERS are equal. Acts 15:6-25 <<< read & study it carefully !! Acts required lay hands to receive the HS eg Acts 19:2-6 TODAY this is NOT required >>> Eph 1:13 Believers TODAY are equal...

    THE BODY OF CHRIST WASN'T FORMED AT PENTECOST

    What was the punishment for not honestly complying with Acts 2:44-45 ? ans :- Acts 5:1-10 Another difference :- How was the HS received in Acts ? How is the HS received today ? Conclusion :- 1 Cor 15:1-4, Eph 1:13 is how believers today are saved and not Acts 2:38-45

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    No hijack, disputes over how salvation was obtained was one of the reasons crusades occurred. Is obtaining salvation not important to you ? What verses do you quote to someone who asks you how to be saved ?

    No surprise, no verses to the simple request below because there are none. ""List the verses that teach the OTHER Apostles have the authority to teach Salvation to the audience of Paul"" ps..The 'audience' of Paul are believers listed in Gal 3:28, 1 Cor 12:13, Col 3:11, Gal 6:15:Thumbsup:

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    ""That's a question that causes arguments"" I keep it at discussion level & ask for the verses that support the views of a believer. For me, the Bible is clear :- 1 Cor 15:1-4, Eph 1:13 teaches how a believer today is saved. justified & sealed Gal 1:11-12 teaches that Christ taught that Gospel...

    THE BODY OF CHRIST WASN'T FORMED AT PENTECOST

    How many here have performed Acts 2:44-45 any hands going up ? 44And all that believed were together, and had all things common; 45And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
