Back in the day the nuns taught us about the Church Militant, to be aggressive in our defense of the Faith, even dying for It. Jesus Warned us. I know how The Story ends and Who Wins.
Be a light upon the world, blameless, but be ready to defend yourself when the need arises.
God is such a respecter of free will that even the angels have the freedom to rebel against Him as 1/3 of the angels did. If we are to be people of God we must respect free will as He does.
The children of Abraham have a special place in God's eye because Abraham, at a time when many others bowed to pagan gods, kept God's commandments. God made a covenant with Abraham and kept it. Abraham's descendants had the unique privilege of direct instruction from God during the Exodus. This instruction was illustrative of many truths. "The wages of sin is death" was a literal reality to foreshadow the second death that comes from not having accepted God (pre-Christ). The provision for food six days of the week with a double portion on the sixth day was instructive of the Sabbath and that they were to dwell with family and with God on the Seventh day (that's Saturday, btw.) The temple sacrifices at the Ark of the Covenant were illustrative of the truth that only death can remit sin. These sacrifices of doves, cows, goats, and lambs all point to the final sacrifice of the Lamb of God who remits the sin of the entire world for all time.
That sacrifice is one we, individually, must accept. It is our choice to be saved or not. God does not force it on us. We choose, by our actions, our thoughts, whether to submit ourselves to Christ as a bride submits herself to the bridegroom, we choose whether we are the adopted children of God by treating Him with love, respect and obeisance as a child does his Father.
If we go forcing our faith onto others we act contrary to God's nature and actions. We are in fact acting sinfully. Further, forced faith destroys the possibility of real faith. Real faith is a choice. God desires real, true, faithful, voluntary worship by those who recognize He is worthy of worship and is the only one worthy of it. Everyone we force faith upon is someone we make less likely to practice real faith.
Couldn't agree with you more.
It needs to be the person's choice, God gave us free will from the beginning, we had the option to sin even though God doesn't want us to.
Our choice to ask Jesus for forgiveness needs to be a free will choice.
I think Kautilya was just over exaggerating a bit on how militant our Christianity should be.
I agree with everyone that it definitely needs more of a backbone
Oh Heavens NO. That solves nothing. I’m talking about US and defending our Faith. To be salt and light. To be so compelling that people want to know why we are the way we are. Forced conversion? Oh hell to the no.
What you are describing is satanic not Christian. "Force converting"?? Really??
That wasn't true Christians or Christianity.
This makes for a great debate in history class...it was called "the white man's burden" according to Rudyard Kipling. Is it invasion and forced conversion, or is it what Christians are called to do? When you break it down, it really forces you to consider your own morals and ethics.
We getting back tho. With God we are always the mightiest of lions tho... Phil 4:13
The is a Church around the corner from me that shut down. They were handing out door hangers to come in for prayer. I saw the lady on my porch. I was half minded to ask how the house of god could be closed by man. But i didnt. Im sure she would have had some lame excuse. They do a prayer tent on the sidewalk ill ask them that next time is see it
I blame the liberals and their lock on the public square.As a Christian, I identify with the King.
The absolute state of Christianity. Muh Israel!
Research the Kingdom Gospel vs The Gospel of Grace and you'll see how 90% of Churches have no idea what they're talking about and have been leading people down the wrong path.
Was the Cowardly Lion really a coward after all? Why did he stick around with Dorothy and the others, even though he tried to chicken-out many times? Yes he was scared, but didn't he put himself in danger at some point to help his friends from the witch? What did he get and realize in the movie's end?
Good grief, get your context right with those scriptures. Jesus was calling out sinners who in essence follow Satan and not God. The same is said of all of us in the Bible, if you aren’t following God, you are following Satan whether you believe that to be true or not. You may not be outright in a cloak and sacrificing animals, but by your worldly actions. The Bible goes through this many times. The Revelation verses in that meme are talking about false Jews. Read the context. ?
they didn't realize the pic is about them, such commenters, thinking they are competent of the ways of their religion, not even scratched the surface of their own bible
wait till they know who is jesus and satan really ;)
Probably not the best website to be linking to prove a point. Lol
Jews got subverted hard. The Torah which is their bible gets put on the back burner for “Rabbinic Judaism” which uses that Talmud that was written 200-600 years after Christ. They prioritize after Christ fanfiction from the alleged “oral Torah” over the written Torah. Their shit makes no sense. Also it says sex with 3 year old girls is okay. I’d support Jews more if they only stuck to the Torah, but that’s incredibly rare and almost completely nonexistent.
you confusing judaism with islam bud, Torah was written thousands of years before christianity bible, which, FYI, consists of judaism & paganism 50/50
No I’m not. The Torah was written before Christ but the “Oral Torah” or The Talmud which is the dominant text in rabbinical Judaism was written after Christ. This Talmud was compiled about the year 500 AD, but the oldest full manuscript of the Talmud, known as the Munich Talmud (Codex Hebraicus 95), dates from 1342 AD.
But since you brought up Islam, I’ll just remind you that the Talmud says it’s okay to have sex with 3 year old girls. Which is worse than the Koran which just implies pedophilia is okay since Mohammed married a 6 year old, but waited to have sex with her until 9 years old. So on the topic of pedophilia by religious text, modern Judaism is worse, because they explicitly say it’s acceptable to have sex with 3 year old girls.
i said about Torah, not about Talmud, which is used by haredi, a small group of ultra-orthodox fanatics, and as i said to the other guy, you are confusing the people with the radicals, this is the same as to judge all american people based on amish
and second, if you engage in conversation about religion, you should know your subject, there's nothing about sex, it's about validity of marriage contract, two families could marry their kids, for example, so they won't need to wait for them to grow up, legal point, that's how things were in christianity up to 20th century
you make a lot of effort to express your hate towards anything semitic, but nothing wrong with that, in your case, i guess
even the "source" you provided is not Talmud, and was written in the 16th century, on hebrew, there's special note for you, "though forbidden"; you're gonna need to learn hebrew to check for yourself
you need to understand, i'm trying to get through to you, and you still playing like you didn't read anything, typical leftist behavior
i'm not talking about samaritanists, karate judaists, and others, i'm talking about people, 98% of population, who live, love, doing their own businesses, and not giving a shit about talmudic fanatics
everything you talking about is called ultra-orthodox, the haredi, which live like amish, in their communities, they are pedophiles no more than amish
and again, you wouldn't want for people to judge americans based on amish or BLM, do you?
funny thing is, you trying to enforce your view of what you think you read from christianity just like talmudic radicals like to exercise their own stuff
No, he is right. Modern jews follow the Babylonian Talmud, brought together after Rome destroyed their temple.
The Babylonian Talmud is Lucifarian; the heebz are just too arrogant to admit it & unfortunately, they are just as deceived as the muzzys.
again, you are confusing minority ultra-orthodox fanatics with the people, what you call jews
this is the same as to judge all american people based on the actions of antifa
and yes, translation of the word Lucifer - Lightbringer, if you are a christian you should know, that's how first christians called Jesus, before church
I believe all denominations outside of Christianity are deceived. Though Christians have an affinity towards traditional Jews of the Torah, and though they may still have the blessings given to them by Abraham, I don’t believe they will reach internal salvation.
i advise you to educate yourself on the subject before responding
start with the bible
modern christianity, enforced and dispersed to masses by church, has nothing in common with Jesus teachings and christianity foundations, let alone God, it's the opposite direction, rotten religious fast food, served kindergarten style
and what about true christianity? consists openly from judaism & paganism, if you inquire into it a bit
Just cite a little Levitical law. They're supposed to be generous to the poor and feed their own people, to be generous to the stranger in their midst and treat him like a brother. Instead they shoot the strangers full of sterilization drugs and largely refuse to have them among them.
