“The Scriptures are the food, the comfort,the armor, and weapon of the Christian.” - William Tyndale Those urging Christians to believe weapons of the world are the armor and weapon of the Christian rebuked by Tyndale.

You’re a smart man @2bme. You make a lot of good points in the OP. I think you remember what the Bible says about wisdom.

It puts me where the apostles and the earliest Christian are. The apostles and the earliest Christians had the Hebrew Bible “in print” and the followers of Jesus functioned in the roughly twenty year interim between the Messiah’s ascension into heaven and the first epistle of Paul (the...

Perhaps he did. I’ll deal with @Sister Fister until the moderators remove him from the forum. I don’t anticipate that will take long to happen; but that is their business, not mine.

I’m a 1st century Christian living in the 21st century. It’s neither funny nor weird, as you’ll see when you read Luke 22:37-38.

I was not being intentionally insulting. I stated my position to all of my readers. If that is too much for you then you are doing the right thing by taking leave of the conversation. No. My comment to you was in the form of a question. If you don’t believe me, go back and see for yourself.

No.

You’re a troll. Why do you think Jesus told his disciples that when they saw Jerusalem surrounded they should flee to the mountains?

Good call. If you keep this up, you’ll soon be gone from the forum.

I have no intention of accepting his offer of sanctuary. I’m a primitive Christian. I’m actually saved, abiding in Messiah and not afraid of dying. If you’re dead set against me, then chastise me for standing against those armed with the weapons of the world without myself being armed with the...

In fact, an Imam in Atlanta told me to seek sanctuary in the mosque if / when people like you come to kill me.

Welcome to the forum, and no. I’m not defending Muhammad.

We should be prepared beforehand how to act if we see that time unfolding in our presence. The Lord does not lead us to use the sword against our enemies. Your mother did not use the sword against her enemy. You did not use the sword against your enemy. You acted like the Messiah and...

Christianity has drifted far from the Christianity of the apostles and the early Christians. The current of worldly violence has swept it into the thing which primitive Christianity deplores - and the devil is behind it.

The unitarian slaughterer of his enemies has it wrong: Christians who do not kill their enemies have not placed themselves on a moral high ground; they have been placed on the moral high ground by the Messiah. Christians, don’t slaughter your enemies; witness to them. Leave the slaughtering to...

“As the Bible says, ‘Because of you we are being killed all day long; we are regarded as sheep destined for slaughter.’” (Romans 8:36, NTFE) That was true in the days of the pagan Roman Empire. It is true in the days of Islam. It is true of faithful disciples through the centuries and will be...

@Hazelelponi offered me no new insights on Islam. If we want violent Christianity to act like violent Islam, then we want violence, not peace.

Roman Catholics are allowed by the Catholic Church to be conscientious objectors. The Crusaders, obviously, were not conscientious objectors. They were a ruthless Roman Catholic killing machine - and they used the sword to kill Muslims, Jews, and fellow Christians.
