@Matthias fundamentally believes God’s children don’t have the responsibility to do Justice in this world. When asked if we are better off being ruled by Satanists and Atheists, the mental gymnastics is entertaining to watch.

Unbound by external forces. The Founding Fathers equated Liberty with Virtue, whose purpose is to glorify God. Therefore, freedom has noble ends, not a license for debauchery.

Goethe. Those who are most enslaved are those who falsely believe they’re free.

You’re still on milk, not able to digest the meat of the soul-filled Gospel. Repeating the statement his kingdom is nor if this world is before the meat, before the 2nd Coming where he becomes the king if kings of this world. Isn’t he supposed to rule THIS WORLD for 1,000 years?

Propaganda. A feeling more than a reality.

I put it this way. The 13A freed the slaves; the 16A enslaved us all.

I’m proud that America is a Christian nation. The Founding Father‘s referenced the Bible more than any other source in forming our government as a republic. John Adam’s said the federal government was made for a moral people and is wholly inadequate for any other kind of people. Washington gave...

Exactly. It’s all about righteous priorities: God, spouse, children, parents, larger family, friends, neighbor, city, State, country, region, world in ever wider circles. A person on the other side of the world is not my enemy. Our Lord used the example of giving a snake to our children. Our...

Not quite. Nationalism is just an application of Odo amoris.

Yes, we are the authorities. 1 Corinthians 6:3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life!

Doesn’t mean it’s always time for peace.

I think you are a troll in this thread. Odoro Amoris. Dual or overlapping responsibilities. Yes, I am a son but also a husband. A warrior for Christ AND Caesar. To paraphrase Patton, I don’t want you to die for your God and country, make the other bastard die for his God and country.

Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s = Patriotic

Sounds like you take ZERO RESPONSIBILITY to speak the truth in love. It's all about how sensitive the other person is, not how horribly lacking the speaker is in speaking gracefully. Years ago my Pastor warned of those like you. Never tell people to not be so sensitive. The more sensitive they...

Projecting. It is you are not answering Scripture, preferring to substitute the words of Paul with the words of our Lord and Savior who said many things to suggest we not have the arrogance expressed here: that he may not know us EVEN THOUGH we perform miracles in his name, although a...

That's half the Gospel. Jesus kingdom will be of this world and his servants will fight. Jesus will rule on earth with a rod of iron. Revelation 2:27 Revelation 2:24-29 24 “I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, those who have not held to the teachings of Jezebel and who remain ignorant of the...

IMO, too much is made of this. Water baptism is merely a public event symbolizing the spiritual transformation that has already occurred internally. It's not a magical event - it symbolizes the Holy Spirit's power to draw you to God, ending your life of the flesh as you submerge, and being born...

God loves justice. Generally, we want justice for others an grace for ourselves. Grace is divine and justice keeps it real. We don't worship a one-dimensional God.

Getting carried away is not inherent among Christians; it is inherent in the dogs of war being unleashed. Regrettable, yes. Unavoidable, also yes. The Crusaders bear no special guilt in this regard - especially as they were REACTING to centuries of provocation by Islamic Jihadi's. That is, they...

Pastor Steve is against the peace deal as it leaves the blood thirsty regime in power to rebuild.
