Currently being taught on the forum: ”You are not a follower of Jesus if you aren’t armed, ready to kill.“ Is that teaching consistent with ”be like little children” @LoveYeshua? Would you teach that to a newbie?

Jesus and the apostles do not teach the followers of Jesus to model the “thousand yard stare” to the world. That is not what the Messiah wants the faces of his followers to look like. That is not what the faces of his followers look like when they are doing what he commanded them to do (Matthew...

“There will no longer be any curse” (Revelation 22:3) ”... herem is therefore used in Zech 14:11 as a metaphor for a genocidal form of war that intends nothing less than the complete slaughter and destruction of the enemy (see Isa 34:2; Jer 31:40), and the promise that it will never again...

War is not a good thing. War is a terrible thing. It is a curse on mankind. Let those who teach the followers of Jesus to kill their enemies say it plainly: “Jesus wants you, nay, he commands you, to do a terrible thing!”

Say what you want, say what you will about Pope Francis but he learned the lesson. “Let us not forget this: War is in itself a crime against humanity. People need peace! The world needs peace!”...

“Stop saying ‘invite Jesus into your heart.’ That phrase is absent from the Bible. Tell people to repent and trust Christ for salvation (Acts 3:19; 16:31).” - Trevor Sheatz

“I think many denominations are just crippled with famous preachers. We’re chasing them, listening to them, tuning into them, when we should be listening to God.” - Leonard Ravenhill

I don’t doubt it. The gun may not even have been loaded. Whether it was or it wasn’t, it doesn’t sound like the home owner killed any of the criminals. I spoke with a man one time a long time ago who was a farmer. He always had a loaded shotgun nearby. He told me that one night he heard someone...

I don’t have the “Christians Only” forums open (so I’m largely unaware of what is transpiring in them) but I noticed in the side bar* that a thread has been opened in one of those forums setting the Nicene Creed to nice music. This being the 1,700th anniversary of the original Nicene Creed, I...

“you are not a follower of Jesus if you aren’t armed, ready to kill” - Wrangler He’s not telling you the truth. He’s bearing false witness against the Messiah, against the apostles, and against the earliest followers of Jesus. People like that often wind up making the situation worse.

Her actions, and those of her mother, are strong evidence that they don’t embrace your “you are not a disciple of Jesus if you aren’t armed, ready to kill“ teaching. I would have been surprised if she had told me that you were passing along to me what she believed.

“Go and make disciples of all nations” - Jesus Even @Wrangler knows enough about the Crusades to know and acknowledge that that is not what the Crusaders were doing. That part of his teaching is correct.

I’m not either. You shared an experience involving your mother and an experience involving yourself. If @Wrangler is correct - he’s not - then you were both disobeying Jesus in the way that you responded to your armed assailants. He’s a killer and he is trying to teach you (and everyone else...
