What instruction would be for violent reasons against other humans?

I noticed he did not answer the question.

Bless your heart for exposing your reading comprehension to suppose Jesus command to buy a sword was so the Apostles and we could non-violently hunt.

I doubt anyone allowed to post in the non-other Faith thread denies Jesus was resurrected.

The Eastern bishops never thought so. It would be helpful to understand the power hungry dynamics that led to The Great Schism centuries before Martin Luther.

I disagree. Proof does not mean a standard beyond ALL doubt. Even criminal trials are often decided based on circumstantial evidence. And Civil trials are won, ‘proven’, based on the preponderance of evidence TO BE MORE LIKELY THAN NOT. No sir, I will not abdicate language, words to the...

Your tone is unbecoming AS IF he has to be an apostle or prophet to make a valid point. Verses are not sentences. Quoting part is for brevity sake, not deception sake. For instance, Sean Hannity frequently quotes a portion of John 14:1, let your heart not be troubled.

Your confidence and compliments in me is inspiring.

Although I agree, the point is not whether they deserved to be deceived; the point is the LORD admits to lying, to deceiving them.

Truth is the foundation upon which to build. Given what is true, now what? It is a call to action. The ancients knew this. Todays generation fails to grasp when Scripture talks about knowing, it means to act accordingly. Our parents asked, did you hear me? What they meant is, are you going...

Epistemology is about the limits and levels of knowledge. The 2nd branch of philosophy. Knowledge is different from opinion, feeling, intuition or instinct. A coworker asked me every day, “Whst do you know?” This thread is about the 1st branch of philosophy, metaphysics. What is real or true...

Possibility is proof? There is no evidence for multi-verse; it is a statement of speculating a beginning beyond what evidence supports, Creation. Calling it by another name (Big Bang) changes nothing. It is proof using the civil standard of more likely than not. You not only reject the...

Ouch! Do you kiss your lord with that mouth?

It’s ‘live by the sword,’ isn’t it? You are denying this is a rebuke of initiating violence.

John Lott is a statistician who wrote the book Guns Save Lives. This thread is driven by idealists who condemn the good on the grounds that it is not better. In this world, nothing is perfect. Cars make life better but also kill, maime and pollute. Medicine save lives but also some get...

Let me say it again The world was, is and always will be ruled by the effective use of violence and only an idealist could deny it.

1st, Nonsequitor. It's irrelevant what portion of Scripture you referenced since I demonstrated THE WHOLE BOOK justifies violence. 2nd, Appeal to Diversion. You ignored the foundation of reality in this world. 3rd, The fatal flaw of your argument. Others have said it. Fact is, criminals...

Not really an answer to my question. There is no verse that says there is on God consisting of the F, S & HS. A reasonable person, without a doctrinal axe to grind, take 1 COR 8:6 as it reads, only the Father is God. How about divining this idea: There is one God, the Father AND he gives his...

I'm so glad I put him on ignore.
