And neither is fighting or killing a sin. It is commanded in Scripture. You just want to equate fighting to mean only non-physical.

It's so odd the lengths you'll go to deny it is righteous to provide ourselves what we physically need.

No. We need to help ourselves in worldly events, such is the meaning of so much Scripture: ask, seek, knock, buy a sword, give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, put God first AND all this will be given to you also, etc.

Agh, you again show how you pick and choose when relying on fleshy, carnal, worldly, literal, physical force is OK.

So says you to qualify the unqualified word of God. When others fight you in the flesh, you need to defend yourself to keep fighting. The good fight necessarily involves physically. See Jesus flipping over tables.

Just because all problems are not solved with a physical sword or gun doesn’t mean some problems are righteously solved with a physical sword or gun.

LOL You‘re such a Platonist, everything represents your IDOL of over-spiritualization. Jesus didn’t literary walk by the spirit but by his fleshy legs. And so do we. We exist in the flesh, our bodies were God given, not to be trivialized and dismissed. And what about fleeing? The lengths...

No it doesn’t! You’re just making things up. There are 4 chambers to a human heart. You just ignore the Two upper chambers called atria to make the numbers match. The importance of the 10 Commandments is not what they supposedly represent but what they are. And what are they? The only law God...

As if there is any doubt that I would admit it. The entire Bible can be condensed into 2 words: Choose Life. It's all about how to live - in the now and hereafter.

Agh huh. And you are creating theologically loaded words, denying "knowing" means all these things in context. Don't ask for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee.

Lots of rationalizations to suppose something is true that isn't. It's not a sin to meet our physical, carnal, fleshy, worldly needs. If the light within us is darkness? Oy vey!

Slippery slope to reading into things that aren't there. Why do some insist this is The Way in light of God etching words in stone is the ultimate example in the human experience of direct and explicit communication?

That's what the text says in Hebrews 10:26. What else is the meaning of a sin those who know God commit that no sacrifice covers?

Watched a vid yesterday I hope to expand on it referenced the action in these verses 1 Timothy 6:10-12 Fight the Good Fight of Faith 11 But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight of the...

Spirit of survival. The same spirit that commanded us to buy a sword and give to Caesar what is Caesar’s.

About halfway through, then scanned the rest of it. The OP was well researched. And I hope to reply to the 2nd half later in the day - God willing. You make this point from time to time and it is a point well taken. Because of IDOLATRY people get upset with what Scripture says - unless You...

Good thread topic. It's obvious from the Scripture you point out that God excepts himself. 1 Corinthians 15:27-28 makes this explicit. 27 For the Scriptures say, “God has put all things under his authority.”[a] (Of course, when it says “all things are under his authority,” that does not include...

All we can do is judge another by their actions. This is the importance of politics, the just response to how people act. In Jesus' day adultery was a capital offense. I've noticed a double standard on it today. When men cheat, it's because he's a scoundrel. When women cheat, it's also because...

Agreed. @Bombastic is new and very academic. So, I thought he'd have a lot to say on the matter. Unfortunately, his bravado and bombast dissipates readily in the presence of those like you and me with good reasons not to agree with his brand of Calvinism. I wish him well in his pursuing other...

Not exactly the friendly sort. Odd to suggest I PM only to tell me not to bother. Oh well. Consider your dust shaken from my feet.
