I guess, I just don't like the fact that the Bible justifies guns. The gun activist say, One lays down their life for their friends, as if Jesus meant it in that way. Jesus proved how he laid down his life for his friends, by going to the cross. How they twist his words, to justify their actions...

Yes, it is odd. Why were only two swords enough. Surely, they needed more swords, to fight off the soldiers, if meant to defend Jesus? Why did all the Apostles die, a death similar to Jesus, without using a sword to take out the enemy? You know, since they witnessed Jesus being crucified, well...

So how do we say Jesus was violent but in Isaiah 53:9 it says "he had done no violence" referring to the coming Messiah ...Jesus.

The Army, Navy, ect. is the government. God ordained the government to be in place. So police officers are doing their sworn duty, to uphold the laws of the land. When soldiers go off to fight wars, the governments are involved in them. God ordains them and we must do as our governments say. Too...

See, Jesus had to fulfill every prophesy about himself. Christians claim Jesus was violent too. But Isaiah 53:9 claims he had done no violence. I know we as Christians are to be Christ like. Immitate Christ. None of the Apostles went out in a blaze of glory, killing their enemies neither. There...

Also in Isaiah 53:9 is claims Jesus had done no violence.

The reason, was to fulfill a prophesy in Isaiah 53:12.. It would appear that Jesus was head of a group of rebelous men by claiming he was a transgressor. We all know this was not so.

Yes, it is in Luke 22:35-38 where the disciples buy swords.

I was chatting with a retired Pastor about Jesus never committing violence. He claimed, Jesus was not against violence. He claimed Jesus knocked over the money tables in violence. I disputed, that Jesus was right to get angry, because the people were turning his Father's house into a den of...

The Pastor, posed that he would baptized us....

Well, also the parables were told, so some got the meaning and some did not. The ones that followed Jesus got the meaning, but the ones whom were not interested, did not. The Parable of the Sower Jesus tells the parable and than gives its meaning.

Thank you all, God bless you.

So what shall we do, sin so grace may be abundant? God forbid.. So as Christians, we don't wish to commit the same acts they did in Jude. Taking grace as a means, to get away with sinning. Wheat and the tares.

Yes, that is when he said, it is just water...... Baptism to me, is something I hold close to my heart, because Jesus done it. We are to be like Him. It represents we are new creatures. The old has passed away. I took it as the new Pastor was taking as something that needed repeating. Loosely...

A Christian brother arrived at church, about 6 weeks ago, that was on our prayer list. He was better, but the thing that amazed me, was he was on a ambulance gurney. He wanted to be close to his brothers and sisters and hear the preacher preach the sermon. Well, looking at the situation, it...

No... We are either 100% saved or not at all. Jesus nor the apostles taught this. Even Paul, asked the 12 men, whom's baptism did they under went? They replied, John's. Johns was remission of sins. They needed the Holy Spirit in them and to hear the story about Jesus Christ. So there is no such...

I really think a Christian should live for Jesus. I do.. If you love me, you will keep my commands. If you love me, you will keep my teachings. So Jesus makes it clear, that we are to do more.

Our Pastor after 20 years of service, retired last year. The new Pastor said, baptism is just water. He claimed, he would baptize us 3, 4, or 5 times...as many times as it took to get it right. Is this even biblical.See, I thought we was to place our faith in the Lord. That God would do as He...
