I pray you help us figure that out by remaining an active member. I get it. Obviously, you want to stay out of the theology and debate forums. Frequent more the Christian life, testimonial and worship forums. There are a lot of great members here if you give them a chance. (There are a lot of...

I think it comes down to POU - philosophy if use. Yes, many like to debate. Many others like to share personal experiences and solicit advice. Various topics are often avoided my me. Many threads on End Times and OSAS debates. So, what is your POU for these boards?

I've often wondered what Jesus' new name is referred to in Revelation. Seems that is not discussed much.

I do know exactly what you were getting - claiming there is something corrupt about Christ’s command to give to Caesar what is Caesar’s. This is incorrect; there is nothing corrupt about Christ’s commands.

Not at all. There is nothing wrong with emotions of anger or hate. God gets both emotions and is not beaten in anyway.

After 1,000’s of such incidents, the Crusades finally was the result. https://www.wnd.com/2025/12/hanukkah-horror-least-12-dead-terror-attack-jewish/

You think that’s what Jesus command means, invoking Godwin’s Law?

Really? This sounds more like outrage: “You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?

True but irrelevant. Jesus told us to give to Caesar what is Caesar’s - meaning obey authority, even though a lower authority.

Sure you can! Honestly, such statements shows you’re over-spiritualized. Serving him with carnal weapons is why Jesus told us to buy a sword.

You keep confusing individual responsibility with corporate responsibility. And denying Christians have the responsibility to do justice.

Nonsense. Who stoned the man who gathered firewood? It’s unconscionable that you make such proclamations after Christians have been doing this for centuries. It would cause a humble person to consider that Christians, being commanded to do justice, are required to take the law into our hands...

If you can’t control yourself, certainly abstain. One thing that’s helped me is to realize much of the angst over politics is actually a shadow of the spiritual war. In other words, the political fervor is driven primarily from spiritual problems, the lack of relationship with God. IMHO...

I can never grasp Middle English. A modern translation renders it. Psalm 37:8 The Voice So turn from anger. Don’t rage, and don’t worry—these ways frame the doorway to evil. It’s about emotional intelligence and stoicism. The 7 Deadly Sins are not about jettisoning all emotion. It’s about...

I don’t think you are being honest with yourself. If you looked around the world and saw everything was great, you’d start thinking man doesn’t need God. Meditate on the source of your anger. You may discover it stems from pride. I give it to God. One of the major transformations in my life...

And whipping at people and buy swords with intent and be prepared to use it, I.e., kill bad guys.

Wrong. As Christians, we should advocate for God, Jesus, truth, justice, love, beauty, light over darkness, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is good, whatever is virtuous and praiseworthy. See Phil 4:8

Wrong. Absolutely wrong. I provided numerous verses providing sanction on both an individual and corporate level. Your pacifist world view is just in denial of the sanction given. You and @Matthias are fanatically opposed to the soulful commands of Scripture. Beyond Scripture, see generations...

It's easy to deny an identification and speak in negation until it is held up to scrutiny. What is your acceptance criteria; what would someone who is over-spiritualized look like?
