    God Commands Righteous Violence

    Unbelieving Jews threatened Jesus with violence on several occasions. How did he defend himself from their violent intention? “So they picked up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid and went out of the temple area.” (John 8:59, NABRE) In this particular instance he defended himself by hiding...

    Posted two days ago. He’s doubling down on July 28. Jesus himself, he assures us, has proved the date to him. When the 28th comes and goes without the rapture? He’ll almost certainly be back with yet another date, and another assurance that Jesus has proved it to him.

    Grappling. The video in post #1 is advocating grappling. How we got to “vlading” (I know that’s not a word defined in the dictionary; I’m coining it -> definition: to treat one’s enemies as Vlad the Impaler treated his enemies) is because @Wrangler, not the speaker in the video, led us there...

    The speaker in the video urges men - not women - to be dangerous. He knows that followers of Jesus includes women. “You are not following Jesus if you aren’t armed, ready to kill.” - @Wrangler Does the speaker agree with and share your teaching? He doesn’t in the video. The speaker stresses...

    In part 4 of the video, the speaker recommends that Christian men join a “BJJ dojo.“ Do you know, do you understand, what that is @Wrangler? It doesn’t fit with your thirst for killing your enemy. Is Brazillian Jui Jitsu (a martial art) designed to kill enemies? Google it. As for the martial...

    @Wrangler wants the followers of Jesus to turn to (and into) Vlad the Impaler. Violence is the only means of defense he wants his readers to consider, ignoring what Chambers calls “our first line of defense” - prayer.
