I have no problem answering a simple question, including the simple question you (and quite a few others) have asked me. Something about me that you probably don’t know and aren’t interested in knowing: I spend a significant amount of time reading sermons in my free time. The habit was...

I spelled it out for @Wrangler.

In the first place, that’s not true. In the second place, I’ve answered your questions. You aren’t the first one to ask them. In the third place, you can easily prove for yourself by searching the scriptures that your assertion isn’t true. Bonus: In the fourth place, you have left a large...

No. I expect you to continue lying about me.

Do your homework. I did. I have already done that, numerous times, over the past four years on this forum.

Is that what Jesus, the apostles, and the earliest Christians did?

The same way that Jesus, the apostles, and the early Christians fought men who were attacking them and their families with swords did. You’re lying about me again. My pastoral advice to you: Act like what you claim to be.

Yes. Do it the same way Jesus, the apostles, and the Christians of the first three centuries of Christian history did it -> without using the weapons of the world.

“… Christians of the early centuries were motivated [not to serve in the military] by another consideration [besides idolatry] which was at least as important to them as was their rejection of idolatry - their respect for life.” (Jean-Michel Hornus, It Is Not Lawful For Me To Fight, p. 16)...

You hold up Vlad as a hero, someone whom Christians should imitate, and you don’t know? Don’t you think you should find out before you recommend that followers of Jesus become Vlads? Paul instructs us to search the scriptures. Right?

Jesus and the apostles didn’t surrender to evil. How did they defend their ship while not harming their enemies? Their way is the way for his followers.

Paul isn’t contradicting the psalmist, and he‘s fighting, as I am and you aren’t, the false teaching of @Wrangler.

I told you that at the very beginning of our conversation. You have characterized this as a debate. It isn’t. I’m confident that’s true. You haven’t said it; @Wrangler has. Don’t take my word for it. Search and see for yourself. I’m sorry it wasn’t clear to you. I’m trying to enlist your...

@Wrangler has chosen not to make it clear to his readers.

“He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth.” I’ve quoted a Catholic translation (NABRE) of 1 Peter 2:22 especially with you in mind @Armour of God. Now a Protestant translation (KJV) ”Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth;” And finally one more Protestant...

You believe and teach “Jesus lied”. That’s neither good nor righteous. I’ve done the same to you on this forum (and on others). Yes. You’re in danger of being one of those persons. I continue to plead with you to repent. That’s right. See the teaching and example set by Jesus and the...
