Additional support from trinitarian commentary for my understanding of scripture. “The ‘healing of the nations’ is further explained by 22:3. First, ‘there will no longer be any curse.’ The phrase is taken from Zech. 14:11 and applied to the eternal new order in which it finds its final...

“This is a fascinating paradox: The number of people who read zero books is growing fast, but those who do read books are reading more than ever before. (Source: Financial Times)” https://x.com/alexandbooks_/status/2002073372642124174?s=46&t=T64e94h2unfHH-VO4i01zA

From my X / Twitter “For you” feed this afternoon, something which I‘m passing along “for you” - “Over the years, I’ve compiled more than 20 Bible reading plans designed to help you read and meditate on Scripture throughout the New Year. Take a look and tell me which you will be using. If you...

”You are not a follower of Jesus if you aren’t armed, ready to kill.” “It should not be taught to anyone” - I’m quoting anonymously a Christian member of the forum who commented publicly about the highlighted teaching in another thread @Wrangler. P.S. That member isn’t someone whom you would...

Since you’re convinced that I‘m a troll, why are you doing what you know is not good? My message to you has been, and continues to be, don’t do what is not good. If you lack self-control, you should consider placing me on ignore.

You confirmed that what I pointed to was correct.

Pointing to your ignorance was, and is, a direct answer.

That’s an acknowledgment of partial ignorance.

Read all of my posts.

Why have you not replied to all of my question? You can’t possibly have read all that I’ve written.

That’s true. That’s false. No we wouldn’t, as can be seen in this thread.

We were speaking about the early church. They didn’t arm themselves and they didn’t kill their enemies. You introduced the possibility that they couldn’t purchase weapons, something which is demonstrably untrue. I’ve already pointed out several times that the reasons for the Crusades have...

I’m sure that when I’ve given a direct answer to a question that you persist in saying that my direct answer is not a direct answer. You’re unstable in your ways.

“Blessed are those who have no reason to condemn themselves because of what you approve.” (Romans 14:22, NRSVA) Please read again this brief account of what the Crusaders did. If you approve them, are you condemning yourself?

I quoted this commentary to support what I see in scripture. No one has come forward to explain why what the trinitarian (Lutheran) commentator and I see here is mistaken. I would appreciate it if someone who thinks it is mistaken would explain their objection for me.

Then please show us where you find Paul, after his conversion, using the weapons of the world (which he explicitly says “we” do not do) to kill his enemies. I‘ve said multiple times that is true. (I’m thinking now what Jesus said to his enemies, “Why do you not hear me?”) The Messiah, the...
