Christian Nationalism

[Anchorite]

If a person is addicted to violent video games, and enjoys gore films, they may want to think that Jesus advocated killing your enemies.

But Jesus said His kingdom is not of this world, so His servants do not fight physically.

He rebuked Peter and told him to put away his sword.

They that live by the sword, perish by the sword.

We wrestle not against flesh and blood.

The weapons of our warfare are not carnal.

Resist not evil with evil.

This pacifist mandate of Jesus could not be more clear.

 

[amigo de christo]

Let me just add this......I believe those things in the Old Testament do serve as warnings of the judgment to come, yes. But this isn't the day of judgment yet is it? For now we are in the time of God's longsuffering that we are to account as salvation....the age of grace or the church age. We are ambassadors of reconciliation in this age....showing God's MERCY, not meting out His justice.

However there has been A JUDG MENT sent .
AND ITS a unifying judgment . IT WILL unite the false religoins with everyone of the decieved within christendom .
THE FALSE religoins b ecause they rejected JESUS
and the decieved christain because he loved another jesus and thus DENIED JESUS .
A great delusion of all out reprobation has been sent .
ITS a unifyer . BUT NOT TO GOD but to The day wherein all who merged as one under it
WILL FACE THE SUDDEN DESTRUcTION and wrath OF THE GOD and HIS CH RIST who their peace plan DENIED .
ITS coming sister .
YOU SPOT ON RIGHT , GOD HAS BEEN AND IS VERY LONG SUFFERING ,
i should know i was one of the worst and he drew me . But many will not come .
MANY desire to hear about another god and another jesus . THAT WILL BE THEIR DESTRUCTION .

Amen, it's SO clear. Boggles the mind how some can't see it. There is a way that seemeth right to man, but it leads to death, sadly.

There is no peace between the world and the people of God......but that is not talking about war of the earthly kind.

The Israelites under the old covenant waged war against their pagan enemies..........because the gospel had not yet been revealed. Now we have spiritual weapons, which are more perfect weapons, a more perfect and better and more glorious way than the old way. The old way serves as an allegory/types/shadows for the spiritual war we are in.

Paul was very clear that if we are serving as soldiers in the army of God (spiritual) we are not to be entangled with civil affairs of this world if we want to please our commanding officer.

Or, not all wars can be fought the same way. The least that can be said is the kingdom of G-d is where the will of G-d is perfectly done and that the kingdom is large enough to wage wars on multiple fronts.
The gates of Hades are sometimes not metaphorical. And while a lot of detached-from-reality or abstract believers are in denial about it, if "unchecked or unbalanced," the enemy would be parading victory down the street using pages of the Bible as confetti. The point being, it's June, and we here in America know what that means. Those depraved persons have already attacked the Bible and misrepresented the Noahide covenant; they don't look like metaphors in an abstract realm to me. The reality is like the tip of the iceberg in concrete terminology.
And no, that's a misinterpretation of Paul's teaching and rejects the ordinary means (evident by G-d and the Angel of the L-rd) by which G-d wills things into concrete reality. How many are looking up, waiting for an actual throne, a man w/ white hair and beard, and stallions and actual vials opened? Reality check: That's what happens when the wrong hermeneutics are applied to specific genres like the symbolism of Revelation. In Paul's case, he wasn't put to death by a metaphor, though that man of lawlessness was descriptively accurate. Paul was put to death by a homosexual who castrated a young boy so he wouldn't have to return the sexual favors. After that man and his number, 666 or 616, died, his love child was a hot commodity throughout the Roman Senate. Wake up, culturally absorbed American churches.
Are we in the Byzantine, Hellenistic, Roman, or Ottomon era? What of the Messianic age?
The kingdom is neither here nor there; I am Amillennial. This wickedness upon earth, in my belief, will continue in repetitive patterns of worldly behavior, repeating until the L-rd is satisfied. Until that final theatrical epicenter, "if ever," so to speak. Obviously, on earth as it is in heaven isn't concrete, at least yet, because, well, this is the month of June, and apparently those left to their reprobate minds exist.

So,a war God turns passive in his issuance of a new covenant?

You may have noticed the world is more violent and depraved than ever now.

Sealed by the blood he shed on the cross.

And at the end of days,Armageddon,the terrible day of the Lord, all that what is foretold to arrive on Earth in Revelation, is what?
If God is no longer violent.

GOD is GONNA WIPE THEM ALL OUT .

[amigo de christo]

Amen, it's SO clear. Boggles the mind how some can't see it. There is a way that seemeth right to man, but it leads to death, sadly.

YEP . and the UNIFYER of THE CHRIST DENYIER
has found this common way .
IT calls it LOVE , but its love is of the world , it cliams it b e of GOD but it be only of the darkness .
AND ALL FALSE RELIGIONS , PEOPLES and many within christendom who were lip only
ARE BUYING IT and GONNA BUY IT .
AND BELIEVE ITS LOVE IS THE ONLY WAY TO GOD
and yet its l ove CLIAMS all religoins serve the same GOD
and yet its love even calls certain sins good and the very words of TRUTH In scripture that exposes sin as EVIL .
SOMEONE BEEN LYING TO THE ENTIRE WORLD SISTER .
And i dont think i need to tell you who that someone is and has been . But a hint is
HE was first mentioned in GENESIS and in the garden and said HAS GOD REALLY SAID .

 

[amigo de christo]

Amen, it's SO clear. Boggles the mind how some can't see it. There is a way that seemeth right to man, but it leads to death, sadly.

There is a way which seems right to man but leads only to the second death .
THEN THERE IS THE ONLY WAY . HIS NAME BE JESUS
and for to be saved YE MUST BELIEVE ON HIM .
AND JESUS , NOR THE FATHER , NOR THE SPIRIT are in the business
of DENYING CHRIST and saying HEY ALL YOU RELIGOINS you all serve the same GOD as the christain do .
NO , JOHN KNEW THE ONE TRUE CHRIST and THUS THE ONE TRUE GOD .
LETS sumup what JESUS said and later john said in his letter .
JESUS . HE who RECIEVES HIS testimony has set to his seal that GOD IS TRUE .
John . HE who believes NOT the testimony that GOD gave of the SON , calls GOD A LIAR .
SO that just exposed the entire ecumenical interfaith LIE FOR WHAT IT IS and that IS A LIE , A LIE and A LIE
which by its peace will merge them all as one , to what they BELIEVE will usher upon them all
WORLD peace n safety ,
ONLY ON THE DAY OF THE LORD , as they be a chanting this peace n safety , NOPE , SUDDEN DESTRUcTION .
WHY did the serpent tempt eve and lie to her .
NOW he made it seem like it was for her g ood .
BUT HERE IS WHY he did it , HE DESIRED THEIR DEATH . AND HE STILL DESIRES THEIR DEATH .
SO HE gonna remove the DIRE NEED TO HAVE TO BELEIVE ON JESUS and replace it with a lie
that sounds so loving and so good for humanity , BUT NOPE its for their destruction .

Yes, G-d sometimes uses the rod rather than the staff. In certain times, Israel was not only oppressed but also conquered and subjected to foreign powers, like during the time of the Roman Empire. Great time passed, the Prophets prayed to G-d and after decades G-d "remembered"; in other words, His promise was brought to the forefront of mind. And then, like past patterns of behavior, there again, after confession and repentance, the people became complacent; that is, this generation, children, and those far off turn away from G-d, and once again the pattern of consequential sin repeats itself.
Like in the time of Martin Luther, the church was under a dark veil. The church couldn't see the light, and somebody like Luther illuminated the scripture. The bastardized American culture has done a number on churches today.

 

[Ziggy]

Not sure what you are trying to point out with that. That very passage says we are not to judge/govern those outside the church, only those inside.

Who does God use to judge those outside the church?

Mat 22:17
Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
Mat 22:18
But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
Mat 22:19
Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.
Mat 22:20
And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
Mat 22:21
They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.

Depraved persons are lost souls, who have fallen prey to the enemy of their souls, many of whom have suffered abuses and emotional lacks in childhood. They are not all behaving like Nero did as a perpetrator. I'm not their judge, and since it is still the gospel age and mandate of the church, I will choose to offer compassion and mercy. Would you suggest we sit in judgment of that young boy who Nero cruelly abused and corrupted? Doesn't mean I "accept" their sin or any sin, but it means I will not regard them or treat them like lepers. We were all lost souls and sinning at one time, and God is the judge of every soul, not me or you. I'm sure He can be safely trusted to judge righteously, He sure doesn't need us to do it for Him.

Agree that the American church needs to wake up and get back to focusing on evangelizing, casting out demons and healing lost souls. instead of politicking,....we should follow the Godly example of the early church when they were living in openly pagan societies and under the boot of a pagan Empire.

Ideally or in this depraved reality? Reality check: I saw a news flash the other day in a Middle Eastern country a French tourist and her children were visiting. The woman, a mother, was pulled out of her car and gang raped in front of her children. Another news flash: a family was in their home, and a man walked into their house, beat the daughters severely, and stabbed a six-year-old in the head with enough force that it killed the child, and the blade was bent. He was released recently on good behavior after ten years. The father said if he catches him in public, he will kill him. I keep hearing of sanctuary cities, and there's no resemblance to biblical sanctuary cities, and there are no blood avengers typically waiting if any of the guilty leave the sanctuary city. Instead of high priests, there are secular civil magistrates doing what they do best.
Some Christians promote lawlessness even in the courts of the civil magistrates. All men are under the 7 Noahide laws. Among those laws are to create courts of law. The Noahide laws are universal; no man is above them. And if I may, do not read into what I said and post scriptures of Paul saying we are not under the Law. These laws are universal in nature; they are as real to human nature as gravity ensures no man can pull himself up by his own bootstraps to heaven.
It's a harsh thing to say that Christians are largely responsible for the current culture and atmosphere here. Most of which will usher in the devils under the worldly virtues of pluralism, inclusiveness, and tolerance.

Hope you don't mind me answering @Ziggy
G-d bless

Every Day is a day of Judgment for those who do not believe.
