    Should I buy a sword?

    I don’t understand why people feel the need to talk down to others online. If you can’t get along with someone, you can simply ignore them instead of attacking them. But online, people seem more prone to hostility — they’ll even attack the character of God and act like it’s acceptable. I won’t...

    Should I buy a sword?

    I use the ignore feature for people on the forums that I don’t want to engage with anymore. It’s honestly a really helpful tool for anyone. You’ve got to be careful and mindful about who you listen to or engage with online. I say this for my own sanity, but also for others — it’s not about...

    First and Second coming?

    It’s whatever they are convinced of. We find out we are building our spiritual person in Christ that’s what’s gonna go forward. People that believe in physical resurrection won’t really matter if they had a heart for God and fed that spiritual man or woman inside of them. That’s all Gods...

    First and Second coming?

    Hello there, Oh okay. Maybe I should just say sorry to them instead… but I’m my own person. And it’s comforting to know that resurrection is a thing that I have faith in. So should us all that believe in the resurrection of the Lord Yeshua by the Holy Spirit of God, it will happen to us all...

    USA/IRAN/ISRAEL PEACE DEAL?

    Hello Ronald, The core historical point is this: “Peace and safety” was a real political slogan in the first‑century Roman world, and Paul is deliberately using it to warn the Thessalonian believers that the very empire boasting of stability was on the brink of catastrophic judgment...

    Should I buy a sword?

    Is God violent in the Old Testament, or is He just? (Anyone telling people that God and Jesus are violent (and that because they say so they have the right to be violent too! - should be weary!) Here is something interesting concerning Jesus striking Jezebel's children dead. What Jesus...

    Should I buy a sword?

    I What Jesus meant by “buy a sword” (Luke 22:36) Short answer: Jesus was not telling them to become violent. He was signaling that a new, dangerous season was beginning and fulfilling prophecy. 1. The context changed — “But now…” Jesus contrasts two eras: Before: They were sent out with no...

    Should I buy a sword?

    I appreciate you sharing your view. I’m gonna step away from the conversation though, because the tone isn’t really for me. Hope you have a good day.

    Should I buy a sword?

    You’re presenting a very selective, flattened version of the Bible that ignores context, genre, and the actual arc of Scripture. When you treat every passage as literal, modern, physical violence, you end up with a caricature — not the Bible. First, the flood narrative isn’t God “pissed off and...

    The Word of God: From Eternity to Flesh, From Flesh to Eternal Life

    This was the original thread created in 2024, I just gathered up everything and just wanted to make into a lesson so I used Co-pilot to do so. It stayed on target with my original message and I believe this helps a lot of people that is my opinion...

    Others are sinners but Christians not ?

    Jesus said that the poor will always be among others and they can do good to them anytime they wanted or something like that. Jesus also said blessed are you who are poor in spirit for the kingdom is yours.

    The Word of God: From Eternity to Flesh, From Flesh to Eternal Life

    The question before every believer is this: Have you come to see who the Word of God truly is? Not merely as a title, but as the eternal identity of the One who walked among us, spoke life to us, died for us, and now reigns sitting on the throne with His Father (Yahweh/Yahavah; God; YHWH/YHVH)...

    Thankful to Yahavah for everything. He can help you process and work on your heart and mind as you look towards him, and abide in the Lord Yeshua. He renews hearts and minds.

    Finding Peace in a World That Keeps Changing

    Have you ever felt a little strange when it comes to your relationship with God? Scripture says that people of faith are “strangers and pilgrims on the earth,” and I think that’s exactly what happens when you walk with Yahavah. Living in this world while belonging to Him creates a tension. You...

    Many Say ‘Just BELIEVE’… But What Did JESUS Actually TEACH?

    Hey man, I hear your passion, but the way you’re talking is coming from fear, not clarity. You’re connecting a lot of things that aren’t actually connected, and then putting all that weight on me like I’m supposed to panic with you. I’m not doing that. I respect that you care about what you...

    Christ has already returned ?

    Just something to think on; “Quickened” does not mean “made immortal.” It means made alive spiritually — brought out of spiritual death into the life of Christ. Immortality is something believers receive at the resurrection, not at conversion. If we already had immortality the moment we...

    Many Say ‘Just BELIEVE’… But What Did JESUS Actually TEACH?

    I don't really like engaging with you @amigo de christo sorry mate, I just found davys post interesting cause what I said is truth. To claim ownership over the whole world you need every country under your feet.

    Many Say ‘Just BELIEVE’… But What Did JESUS Actually TEACH?

    Hey Davy, That would be quite the feat! A person claiming to be God over the whole world, they would need every single country under their rule. Is that even possible?
