    I Was But Now I Am

    See the personal testimony of @TLHKAJ. She saved her family without killing the man climbing through the bedroom window; without even firing a shot. The Word of God is far better than nice to folks like me. It’s the slayers of men who advocate Christians killing their enemies instead of...

    I Was But Now I Am

    I believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. What does that have to do with killing your enemies?

    I Was But Now I Am

    Are you able to prevent all people from being victimized? The police aren’t. Think about it. I’ve already told you that I would use non-lethal means to try to protect anyone in my presence from being victimized. “Good,” you said. I took you at your word.

    I Was But Now I Am

    “Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.” (Romans 13:10, NIV) Who is my neighbor? Is it not every human person? Even my enemies? The man (or woman) who would threaten to harm / even kill me, my wife, my child, someone in my faith community, someone in my...

    I Was But Now I Am

    If you’re encouraging Christian to kill their enemies, or if you have supported those who have, you have preached violence. You’ve said that you have done it without using lethal force. You’ve also suggested that you would resort to lethal force. There is no guarantee that you have the...

    I Was But Now I Am

    You offered your testimony. You know from first hand experience how evil killing is and how evil you are. You are advocating killing our enemies. I’m not your judge; the Messiah is. I use the same scriptures you use. You sought conversation with a conscientious objector. You sought me out, I...

    I Was But Now I Am

    Everyone would do well with a spirit-led study of Solomon’s writings.

    I Was But Now I Am

    I have every right to look into the background of those who are urging Christians to kill their enemies. You are enemies of Messiah. I’m not the vicious killer. I’m not the unfit human. You are.

    I Was But Now I Am

    Wrong, wrong, wrong. You’re advocating something that isn’t in line with loving your enemy. It’s fair to ask how often you have done it. Have you practiced the violence that you’re preaching?

    I Was But Now I Am

    You’re advocating killing our enemies. How many have you killed? When was the last time you killed someone? Was there ever a time when you killed someone that was threatening your family, or someone else's family, when it failed to prevent the assaulted family member from being muredered?

    I Was But Now I Am

    How many have you killed? How many have you shot, but they survived? How many have you knifed?

    I Was But Now I Am

    I’m asking the right person. You‘ve been making my case for me.

    I Was But Now I Am

    How many have you killed?

    I Was But Now I Am

    I would do the same, but probably without saying that I would be waiting for him with a gun next time. You’ve demonstrated my point in real time.

    The Religious Architecture Thread

    The ruins of Deva Prison in Romania where one of my spiritual ancestors worshiped and died while imprisoned for his faith. P.S. I realize that not everyone would consider a prison to be a fitting example of religious architecture but, imo, whatever the architecture where worship takes places...
