The nation of Israel, a message to Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, Son of the God of Israel -> “Go away. You are not the Messiah. We don’t want you. We don’t need you. You weren’t sent by the God of Israel. You are a deceiver.” The nation of Israel is living on borrowed time @rockytopva. It...

If I were a gambling man, I’d wager that you’ve asked me that question before and I’ve answered it. Israel isn’t following the teaching of Jesus and the apostles concerning how the followers of Jesus are to treat their enemies. The government of Israel doesn’t love its enemies and the...

The Bloody Theater That’s an outstanding title. It honors the men, women and children who followed the teaching and example of Jesus and the apostles in response to the attacks of their enemies. ”You are not following Jesus if you aren’t armed, ready to kill.” - demons ”Cowards; man in form...

From Christian sources - A few among many. Also from non-Christian sources. But if Christian sources won’t persuade Christians, an appeal to non-Christian sources isn’t going to persuade them.

You entered in the middle of the movie. You should watch it from the beginning and then come back, if you decide to continue. I hope that you will.

The defenders of the Crusades. You do know the crusaders killed Muslims, Jews and Christians, don’t you? The defenders of Christian nationalism. You do know that Christians living in one nation have killed Christians living in other nations, don’t you? The weapons, the apostle said, that...

I govern inside the church as a pastor (though I’m now retired), just as Paul had in mind and instructed the folliwers of Jesus. I’m not hiding and I’n standing on the same rock that the apostles stand on.

He hasn’t called anyone to kill Christians or non-Christians. Killing Christians and / ir non-Christians isn’t on the apostle’s list. Listen again with me to that same apostle - “We do not use the weapons of the world.” He speaks for Jesus.

You would lose that bet. How do I know that? @Wrangler believes that they were all armed, ready to kill. He’s wrong. I think you know that; otherwise you probably wouldn’t bet “if they coulda they woulda”.

It isn’t gone. I’m a 1st century Christian living in the 21st century. When you see and hear me, you should see and hear Jesus (and the apostles) in me. If I don’t see and hear that in someone, I’m seeing a person who either isn’t a mature Christian or isn’t a Christian at all. At all times...

If we’re following Jesus and the apostles, then we’re teaching what they taught and doing as they did.

The apostles have a king. I have a king. No matter where I might live in the world, my allegiance is to that king. The fool has said in his or her heart, “There is no God”.” I believe that. If I had to guess I would guess that you believe it too. I also believe it’s a fool who says in his or...

You’re no longer a Chinese Christian, living in Communist China. It’s August, 1775. The Caesar of the day is accusing someone in his realm of acting treacherously. You’re there. You’re a British citizen residing in the North American colonies of Great Britain. Is King George III and his...

Have you read The Gospel of Barnabas?

The Muslim answer is no, we can not trust the Bible; it has been corrupted. From my X / Twitter “For you” feed this morning - “The Bible is unmatched in its reliabity and veracity” (Josh Barzon) https://x.com/joshuabarzon/status/2069045182486487547?s=46&t=T64e94h2unfHH-VO4i01zA

How well do you know early church history? The Caesar in Paul’s day was Nero. You would kill for Nero. You would kill Christians, Jews and pagans for Nero. Paul and the followers of Jesus wouldn’t and didn’t. What is Caesar’s? Give it to him. P.S. Paul did. The early Christians did. I do...

That’s a good start, but it didn’t take you long to go wrong. Jesus didn’t kill anyone. The apostles didn’t kill anyone. They loved their enemies; they didn't wound or kill them. ”We do not use the weapons of the world.” Hold firmly on to that. When you do you will return to the teaching and...

“It’s so important that we’re thankful for the right reasons, and for the right things.” - Paul David Tripp

Your ancestors didn’t treat their enemies the way Jesus and the apostles teach followers of Jesus to treat our enemies. I too had ancestors who killed Muslims, Jews and Christians, to mention only those three categories of people. I’m proud of my ancestors who treated their enemies in...

Medieval or modern era, the Christian man and his family have two options: Option 1. Follow the teaching and example of Jesus and the apostles. Option 2. Don’t follow the teaching and example of Jesus and the apostles.
