Three points for my readers to consider in regard to your post: 1. The church in the Apostolic and Ante Nicene periods of church history wasn’t feminized, etc. 2. The church which Spurgeon pastored wasn’t feminized, etc. 3. The teacher of the concealed identity church doesn’t practice what he...

Church history.

See the example set by Jesus, the apostles, and Christians for the first three centuries of Christian history. To say, “It comes down to prideful, thinking, believing they are above the practical necessities of life” about them is a bold move by your concealed identity church, and one that is...

I refer you and my readers again to the teaching of Jesus and the apostles and the example they set for the followers of Jesus. I also refer you to church history and a wide variety of writings by Christian authors.

No one refers to Spurgeon and the Ante Nicene Fathers that way. Read them and you’ll find that out for yourself. Before you do, please read Romans 13 again. Spurgeon, the Ante Nicene Fathers, and I hold the position that Paul expresses there.

It’s my understanding that you’re a retired truck driver. I respect that, and I wouldn’t dream of saying that you have no convictions. You may have been a terrific truck driver, but you haven’t read the Ante Nicene Church Fathers. Now that you have more free time on your hands, I encourage you...

I’ve posted dozens of quotes from Christian authors of articles and books which agree with me and disagree with you; Spurgeon - a favorite Christian author of yours, you’ve said - being but one such example. I’ve posted a few quotes from non-Christian authors of articles and books which agree...

“War is evil” -> a sentiment attributable to many people; people who support war and people who oppose war. I’ve provided a few quotes, in this thread and others, from representatives of both positions expressing it. I’ve provided more quotes of this nature from the group that supports war...

You’re free to criticize Spurgeon. You think he’s wrong. I think he’s right, and applaud him. Note that Spurgeon and I differ in degree with the pacifism of the Quakers. @Wrangler told us that Spurgeon is one of his favorite Christian authors, but he declined to say why when asked. Romans 13...

I “fanatically” promote peace, not evil. I’m a pastor. I teach, preach, and practice the gospel of peace. I think everyone who has followed our conversation is aware of that fact.

I’ve commented elsewhere that I wage war on war. That’s not a contradiction. I don’t use the weapons of the world in waging the war against war. It is spiritual warfare. I wrote, for example, on August 17, 2024: “Waging spiritual warfare on physical war.” Spurgeon and I are very much alike in...

You will surely know then that Spurgeon wasn’t a Quaker. (You also know that I’m not a Quaker.) Did Spurgeon agree with the pacifism of the Quakers? AI Overview had this to say about it - “Yes, Charles Spurgeon strongly agreed with the Quaker pacifist stance against war and militarism. He...

In making that accusation against us, you’re making that accusation against Spurgeon. I question that you’ve actually read him. That he would be one of your favorite Christian authors is certainly ironic.

“Ours is battling for peace, and fighting for rest. We disturb the world to make it quiet,mand turn it upside down to set it right ... We have no sympathy with any other war, but count it an evil of the direst sort, let it be disguised as it may. Now with that caution, whatever I shall seem to...

”Catherine Booth, cofounder of the Salvation army, was a pacifist, as was Charles Haddon Spurgeon, one of the most popular preachers of mid-nineteenth century Britain. ‘I always mourn to find a Christian soldier, for it seems to me that when I take up Christ Jesus, I hear one of His Laws: I say...

“We are up to the hilt advocates for peace, and we earnestly war against war. I wish that Christian men would insist more on the unrighteousness of war, believing that Christianity means no sword, no cannon, no bloodshed, and that, if a nation is driven to fight for its own defense, Christianity...

“Never, never use the sword. Better a thousand times to die than for a Christian to kill his fellow.” - C.H. Spurgeon @Armour of God @NayborBear
