You’re equating “Essenes” with “Advocates for God the Father.” Do you call yourself an Essene? Do you think @Wrangler and / or @Armour of God identify themselves as Essenes? I’m an advocate for God the Father but I’m absolutely not an Essene. Though they have some things in common, their...

“A father’s holy life is a rich legacy for his sons.” - C.H. Spurgeon

In fact, I’ve never thrown the heavenly Father of Jesus and the apostles “under the bus” at any turn. Just as they are Jewish monotheists, so am I. The books I’ve quoted and alluded to were written by the New Testament authors, church leaders in the 2nd and 3rd centuries, church historians...

“If possible, as far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all men.” (Romans 12:18) Jesus and the apostles: Did they tell with their words and show with their actions how to live peaceably with all men when not all men were willing to live peaceably with them? @Wrangler @Armour of God

“The world does not hate vague spirituality. It hates the exclusive claims of Christ.” - Scott Roberts

“Train up a child in the way he should go - but be sure you go that way yourself.” -C.H. Spurgeon That way for a follower of Jesus, as the famous pacifist preacher well-knew, is love your enemies, do good to those who hate you. @Armour of God @NayborBear Your counsel is against Spurgeon. That...

He was banned. As far as I know, he’s still wandering the streets and sleeping outside. He wasn’t happy being anywhere. He did. He is a Christian who became homeless and suffered mental illness while living on the streets. I’ve met a number of people like him. It isn’t uncommon for mentally...

You were very patient with him. All of the moderators were. God bless you all.

“Love your enemies; do good to those who hate you.” - Jesus Messiah I’m grieving the loss of my enemy this evening.

Thank you. The teaching of Jesus is to love enemies and do good to them. That is what I live in a society that doesn’t. He hasn’t annihilated all evil - it still exists and is increasing - and he hasn’t annihilated those who commit evil - he will when he returns. He will in the second...

I wasn’t joking. He confronted the moderators and they did their job when he persisted. It was his fault, not the moderator’s. I tried for four years to help the man, but to no avail. He didn’t want help. He wanted attention. His life was destroyed by homelessness and mental health issues. He...

He’s dead now.

That’s right. ”We do not use the weapons of the world.” - Jesus, via Paul “Imitate me as I imitate Messiah.” - Paul That is apostolic counsel. That is why it is my counsel. ”We‘re counseling violence” is the counsel of the hidden identity church.

As has been pointed out many times, the knights who went on the crusades had a history of warring against one another. Traitors to the Kingdom of God; not traitors to their respective countries.

I led you here but no one forced you to come. The apostles were engaged in carrying out the Great Commission. They weren’t armed, contrary to what @Wrangler would have us believe. Jesus, though, was deemed an enemy of the state; a political threat to Rome. That’s not historically accurate...

@2bme has said that he is an ex-Christian. Is it possible to think of him as the good man who turned bad out of necessity?
