All those innocent children of 70 ad. How it must have grieved Him. All due to their continual bending over backwards.


Makes me weep as well.
It grieves Jesus if anyone dies.. Death was not part of his plan or creation. Sadly. because man rebelled. There is death.

And that's also why God will show his wrath. For him not to show his wrath would be a slap to the face off all the innocents who died at the hands of men..

He wants me to admit Jesus is a killer-and hold Christ is a created being.
Do you want to tell him Jesus is a killer?
Did Jesus order the children of Israel to take the lives of people when they entered Canaan?

If he does not understand why he did something, we can try to explain it to him, but to withhold the truth from him,, that's different.

example. Did Jesus not have Assyria Destroy the northern kingdom of Israel because of her sin according to Lev 26?

Did he also not have Babylon and Rome do the same to Judah for the same reason?

Brother, I gave the Scripture references-more than you-you explain to him "Jesus gave the order--"
There are questions-and then there are questions.
This is not edifying.

Yet in CHRIST we ourselves are now to put no man to death . Rather we preach CHRIST
and if members in the church are praticing evil we rebuke and correct them
and even cast them out if they hear not .

We are under an all out attack from false leaders who long ago crept in
to destroy true christanity and remold a false progressive , inclusvism which will save None and condemn all who embrace it .
We must contend for the true faith till the last breath my friend . Pointing only to CHRIST , to His teachings
to the doctrine of the apostles , to all sound biblical doctrine . These men have decieved
the people not by directly attacking the bible , no , what they did was behave as though they support it
and all the while went about trying to reeducate them through their own greek meanings .
Till now they have many convinced the english bible is not accurate , they dont even take the ressurection at heart .

We do not like it if we ignore their questions.

I told you, the second time now, I gave him scripture references re the wrath of God, and don't assume what I "like, and don't like--"
Preach the gospel, and the death and resurrection to a lost and dying world-and don't "assume" everyone on this platform is a "Christian"

Go and tell @Waiting on him Jesus Christ is a "killer" man-I have no time for Progressive Christianity.

1Jn 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
1Jn 4:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
1Jn 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

1Jn 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

There are questions-and then there are questions amigo, and discernment is called for--

If they don't like the biblical answers maybe they should reconsider asking questions they will not like the answers to brother.
Psalm 94:11

The Lord knows the thoughts of man,
That they are a mere breath.

Isaiah 66:18

“For I know their works and their thoughts; the time is coming to gather all nations and tongues. And they shall come and see My glory.

Ezekiel 11:5

Then the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and He said to me, “Say, ‘Thus says the Lord, “So you think, house of Israel, for I know your thoughts.

Psalm 139:23

Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me and know my anxious thoughts;

Psalm 139:2

You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
You understand my thought from afar.

Proverbs 16:9

The mind of man plans his way,
But the Lord directs his steps.

Matthew 12:25

And knowing their thoughts Jesus said to them, “Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and any city or house divided against itself will not stand.

Luke 2:35

and a sword will pierce even your own soul—to the end that thoughts from many hearts may be revealed.”

Luke 5:22

But Jesus, aware of their reasonings, answered and said to them, “Why are you reasoning in your hearts?

Luke 6:8

But He knew what they were thinking, and He said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and come forward!” And he got up and came forward.

Hebrews 4:12

For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

You can discern the inward thoughts giving outward expression of what is in the heart-
