Let me just add this......I believe those things in the Old Testament do serve as warnings of the judgment to come, yes. But this isn't the day of judgment yet is it? For now we are in the time of God's longsuffering that we are to account as salvation....the age of grace or the church age...

No dear, those things really happened........but for the church of the new covenant, they now serve as ensamples and parables for us, for our admonishment and learning....spiritual lessons, not carnal lessons about carnal things.

And then thanks be to God, He finally introduced a new way, the gospel of peace! Whew! A light to shine in all that terrible darkness! Beating swords into ploughshares! What do you think the rainbow was for? Pointing ahead to the gospel of mercy, thankfully! Oh my! May the Lord open the...

He speaks in parables......the Word made flesh. We are to compare spiritual with spiritual in scripture. The things of God must be spiritually discerned.

Know what the Lord told me over 20 years ago...? He gave me to know that if the west doesn't repent our nations would be taken over by another religion, and the context was Islam. It doesn't matter what else we do, we aren't going to win an argument with the Lord once He has turned to fight...

Not sure what you are trying to point out with that. That very passage says we are not to judge/govern those outside the church, only those inside.

Here is an example of what that means...........when Jesus said to the religious leaders, "If I by the finger of God heal the sick and cast out demons then the kingdom has come to you."

There is no peace between the world and the people of God......but that is not talking about war of the earthly kind. The Israelites under the old covenant waged war against their pagan enemies..........because the gospel had not yet been revealed. Now we have spiritual weapons, which are...

Ask the Lord to give you understanding of it. It's only vague for those who aren't "getting" it yet.....it is spiritually discerned. Churches should be studying and preaching the word and seeking God for wisdom......then nobody would need to tell them what policies are more aligned with God's...

Governments yes. But governments are not the church. The church has a completely different ministry/mandate. We need to discern/divide/separate between the holy and the profane (common), not mix them together. Mixture is the unclean thing that scripture says we are not to touch but come out...

Yes........and which sword was He talking about? What is the sword that DIVIDES? The sword of the Spirit, His word, is what divides. And people of the world and flesh who reject His word are often willing to take up a literal sword against those who follow Him.

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.
