No. Theology > Scripture, in terms of being more general. All religious texts fall under theology. Even those theologies based on Scripture expand beyond the text. This is why there are doctrinal differences among the various denominations.

I never heard anyone suggest such a thing! No Bible I've ever seen begins the NT with Acts. Just out of curiosity, where did they believe the Gospels fit in, the OT?

@bdavidc, what do you say in response to such verses? What point is there to endure to the end if we are saved if we don't endure to the end?

Came across this in devotional reading today. Who is the author talking to that may have ? Eph 5:5 For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. That's because what...

All this back and forth regarding the claims that Israel is behind the mark of the beast almost distracted me from this thread being about TDS over support for Israel. The closest ally in the world to the US is Israel, PERIOD. It does not mean that there is perfect alignment. It means the...

Never read Roman 13 eh? Before that, there is killing people in faith in action accounts for thousands of years. The Conquest of Canaan, the Judges, Samson, David, etc. The overly-spiritualized replaced God with a sugar and spice and everything nice IDOL.

Here, you overly limit yourself. "We" constitutes the people of the nation as well as the church. This thread is NOT about we, the Christian church but we, the Christian Nation.

Not the goal of Christian Nationalism.

One might say his kingdom is not of this world but that will change in the future state. He is called "the king of kings" which means a political leader among political leaders - no matter what world.

Not relevant. He will ultimately solve the problem of evil by violently throwing people into the Lake of Fire. He’s destined to be the most violent person of all time and he is our role model. Just because Jesus didn’t use deadly force one time, doesn’t mean he won’t or we shouldn’t when it is...

'Democratic socialists?' Their own statements promote communism

In realizing the overly-spiritualized are opposed to doing what is physically necessary, I notice Islamic clerics don't hesitate. Words will not stop the slaughter of Judeo-Christians. Report: Iranian Clerics Urge Trump, Netanyahu Assassinations

And neither is fighting or killing a sin. It is commanded in Scripture. You just want to equate fighting to mean only non-physical.

It's so odd the lengths you'll go to deny it is righteous to provide ourselves what we physically need.

No. We need to help ourselves in worldly events, such is the meaning of so much Scripture: ask, seek, knock, buy a sword, give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, put God first AND all this will be given to you also, etc.

Agh, you again show how you pick and choose when relying on fleshy, carnal, worldly, literal, physical force is OK.

So says you to qualify the unqualified word of God. When others fight you in the flesh, you need to defend yourself to keep fighting. The good fight necessarily involves physically. See Jesus flipping over tables.

Just because all problems are not solved with a physical sword or gun doesn’t mean some problems are righteously solved with a physical sword or gun.

LOL You‘re such a Platonist, everything represents your IDOL of over-spiritualization. Jesus didn’t literary walk by the spirit but by his fleshy legs. And so do we. We exist in the flesh, our bodies were God given, not to be trivialized and dismissed. And what about fleeing? The lengths...
