When you say: Opposers', are you referring to everyone who might venture into this thread, or just those who have been debating this issue previously?
I am refering to pro-military.
If you are referring to everyone, then it would appear as though you are saying that you are not interested in what everyone thinks about what the Bible says concerning this issue. If you are referring to those who were previously in this discussion with you, then it would make sense that you are referring to their previous arguments,
n/a
and while you are open to new arguments from the Word of God,
I quoted the my interpretation from the Bible. You seem to have difficulty reading others' posts, my friend. you have been ignoring so many things I have been saying. I hope you start to respect others' sayings too.
you are not terribly interested at all in going into what was already addressed.
I have brought up military issue in many forums and I know exactly what you ara going to bring up. It was the same in this forum too. If you are interested in more than I requested in my OP please, read the old thread I refered to you.
This approach, depending upon the arguments presented beforehand, is justifiable, so long as the previous arguments have been addressed to the best of your ability.
I did bring up my point with biblical reasonings. I cannot do anything if you dont like my interpretation or disagree with me but I will not change my position just because you disagree with me, my friend.
Secondly: When you say interpretation, are you saying that we must come to the correct interpretation of the Word of God (which cannot be opposing, and must be singular, from my understanding), or are you saying that our interpretation, and not the Word, is what is to be discussed here. The second would elevate what we feel the Word should be saying over the Word of God.
It is very obvious we are interpreting differently. All I can do is express what I believe and everything that I bring up is my convictions. We both connot be right can we? it is up to god to judge who is with God or not. I wil not let you or anyone else intimidate my convictions. Jesus is my Judge.
You mention that love and war cannot coexist - what do you, then, do with the wars that God began in the Old Testament? What of the great war at the end of time?
God is allknowing, He never make mistakes. He can judge anyone. But we are not God. He is the only one who can judge anyone. God says vengence is His. He will judge us like He is telling us in the Bible.Are you saying America is a theocracy like Israel in OT times, led directly by God? I hope not.
