God Commands Righteous Violence

[Rockerduck]

What choice did Nero give them? Did they honor Nero?

They had the choice to worship Caesar or die. Show me evidence they didn't honor Nero, I haven't found any.

 

[Matthias]

They had the choice to worship Caesar or die.

Okay. They made the right choice.

Show me evidence they didn't honor Nero, I haven't found any.

We are in agreement that they honored Nero.

Now what about those who weren’t martyred?

 

[Armour of God]

Psalms 91 -
1 Those who live in the shelter of the Most High
will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 This I declare about the Lord:
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;
he is my God, and I trust him.
3 For he will rescue you from every trap
and protect you from deadly disease.
4 He will cover you with his feathers.
He will shelter you with his wings.
His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
5 Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,
nor the arrow that flies in the day.
6 Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness,
nor the disaster that strikes at midday.
7 Though a thousand fall at your side,
though ten thousand are dying around you,
these evils will not touch you.
8 Just open your eyes,
and see how the wicked are punished.

You choose to stand by and watch the wicked have their way with the weak and needy, to attack your family, rape your wife and daughter. Your a terrible father, a terrible husband, a terrible son and a terrible citizen. A very emasculate man



I choose to be a strong man, to rescue my family, the weak and the needy from the hand of the wicked, like a good citizen, a good father, a good husband and a good son, as scripture commands me to.

A very emasculated ...

church. The church has become thoroughly emasculated. Only a warrior in the non-practical, overly spiritualized, fighting on your knees kind of warrior. An emergency responder who doesn't respond and the inaction is not taken in a timely manner. "Good" in a theoretical sense. Good for nothing in a practical sense.

 

[Matthias]

church. The church has become thoroughly emasculated.

What church would that be? You aren’t Catholic - Vlad would have done terrible things to you and to your family - and you conceal the identity of your church.

Only a warrior in the non-practical, overly spiritualized, fighting on your knees kind of warrior. An emergency responder who doesn't respond and the inaction is not taken in a timely manner. "Good" in a theoretical sense. Good for nothing in a practical sense.

You don’t practice what you preach.

That’s not true. He’s made no such choice. No one participating in this thread has.

Not even one of @Wrangler’s favorite Christian authors (C.H. Spurgeon) did.
