    Should I buy a sword?

    As my walk with Christ matured, I was amazed to discover rampant IDOLATRY in Christendom. As a child, seeing the 10 Commandments movie I didn't get idolatry, making golden statues and worshipping inanimate objects. Realizing it is placing anything manmade above God - sex, drugs, money, power...

    Should I buy a sword?

    IDOLATRY. They have the form but not the Spirit. They think they do but when the feel their IDOL is threatened, their nasty spirit is revealed. I’m grateful that you noticed.

    Should I buy a sword?

    No sir! I presented the major arch, aside God loving his chosen people, elected children. Again, the most violent book ever written.

    Dumbing it down!

    As God wills NOT as you will. Not too complicated.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Armed parishioners in vast majority of big churches. One wonders how they decide that moral issue in light of fanatical pacifism saying it ain’t true?

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    From AI, 75% of big churches are armed. According to a 2023 survey by Christianity Todayand Lifeway Research, roughly 75% (three-quarters) of U.S. churches with congregations of 1,000 members or more report having armed security at their entrances. This security can include: Armed...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    No. I'm right. Jesus didn't tell us to buy a sword to be a dust collector. This is wrong. Many churches these days have armed security at all the entrances. Purpose is not dust collection.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Give to Caesar what is Caesar's. It means there is not only spiritual considerations for the people in the church.

    Should I buy a sword?

    It's much more than that. Examine the entirety of the Bible, which has been said to be the most violent book ever written. God is so pissed, he wipes out humanity except for 8 people. Then, he's so outraged as his "chosen people" he wants to annihilate them; it takes Moses to talk him out of...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Obama 'The notion that we can just bully our way or bomb our way to solutions may sometimes seem appealing' AS IF there is any other way once war begins - other than surrender to evil.

    My handing of the topic of "The Crusades"

    Colonization has gotten a bum wrap by Cultural Marxists. When you say it ‘may’ not be us acting our best implies Nirvana fallacy. Some year ago I read a detailed analysis of the aftermath of European powers leaving their African colonies; they regressed. Economies collapsed, corruption became...

    Should I buy a sword?

    Including, especially defending oneself when under attack by evil. The defense must be appropriate to the attack, be it moral seduction or physical. Swinging a sword when Satan is encouraging our hungry Lord to change rocks into bread isn’t an appropriate defense. Quoting Scripture when...

    Should I buy a sword?

    Those who are over-spiritualized and reject Christ's command to be armed, ready to kill if need be, don't embrace discernment. Ecclesiastes has it right; there is a time for peace and a time for war. Obviously, Christ did not tell his friends and brothers who he loved to arm themselves to stop...

    Should I buy a sword?

    I happen to passionately hate “play on words” as it epitomizes eisegesis, reading into text what is not there in the original language. Did Jesus spiritually die or only carnally die?

    Women drivers

    Regarding non-sport metric of driving skill, I have yet to see @TLHKAJ acknowledge women get into more frequent accidents that are minor.

    Should I buy a sword?

    Extreme rationalization there. The overly spiritualized cannot conceive of a Bible verse having ONLY soulful applications. Jesus didn’t make spiritual wine but carnal, fleshy, literal, physical wine. Just because something is blessed doesn’t make it NOT carnal, not soulful.

    Women drivers

    Sorry sister. This is projection. It!s your ego, entitlement and jabs at men on display here. I‘ve said by one measure, fatal accidents, women are better drivers, where we agree. By other measures men are better drivers, which is what @Armour of God pointed out. That’s fair and balanced. Sadly...

    FIFA WORLD CUP 2026

    I believe how you could do that is by being a peacemaker. Soccer fans have been known to brawl. Some lives have been lost over the outcome of a game the audience didn’t even participate in.

    I was hopeful that you’d focus on this part of the post, where we agree, which is not too common.

    Women drivers

    It’s not dependence but means to measure skill. Last summer a young 18-yo woman drifted in my lane, barely scrapping my car. I told the investigating police officer that had she not pulled over, I wouldn’t know the make of the vehicle that hit me. I was in the left lane and her bump caused me...
