Fun-Fact: The translation and historic biblical context of "neighbor" means "fellow Christian".
I don't believe that Matthew 5:43-44 is an excuse to tolerate pedophilia as a middle eastern cultural norm or the Jewish or Islamic acts of mutilating God's perfect newborn babies and children or the intolerable horrors in the Orthodox Jewish Talmud or the Jewish banker sin of usury and their trade in human debt slaves.
Many cowardly Christians willfully misinterpret this scripture and willfully pretend that Jesus Christ is an absolute pacifist. He is NOT.
Even as the Lamb, Jesus Christ flew into a rage and used anger and physical violence against the greedy Jews during the Cleansing of the Temple.
Jesus Christ will return as the Lion.
Don't use heresy as a blanket to cower under.
Jesus also only did that 1 single time in the whole bible and it was for a specific reason. Let's also make sure we dont use that verse to attack Jews or as an excuse to do wrong. Not saying u are but it's very common and not right
I'm glad we both agree that Jesus Christ set a precedent that some lines can not be crossed and anger and violence can be righteous.
I agree that we can only make rational and informed judgements about how Jesus Christ the Lamb and Jesus Christ the Lion would react to things like Israel becoming one of the world's child sex trafficking hubs and the Jewish bathhouses of Boston being described as "child rape assembly lines".
Yes jesus did set the precedent but for a specific thing in a specific way. That doesnt mean we get to use it to justify our own actions.
Yes Jesus did set the precedent but for a specific thing in a specific way. That doesn't mean we get to use it to justify cowardliness or pacifism.
It pleases me that we both agree.
Awesome glad to hear. All glory to God. Nice talking with u friend
That’s easy. Christ specifically told pedos to fucking kill themselves. Millstone around neck meet ocean.
Idk if I agree. Christ was killed for a culmination of several events of him mocking, insulting, condemning, outright cursing, and beating up the synagogue of satan.
A lot of his parables were outright directed at those corrupting the faith. He recommended death to those who would harm children … I really don’t see how we just ignore these teachings. Christ wasn’t a pacifist, he routinely fought against evil through words and actions and some of those things were violent or would encourage violence against evil doers. Hence why they crucified him. Also notice how the cabal has been pushing no death penalty for the wicked amongst their media platforms, most prominently in their comic books. I wonder why that is and if that matches up with Christ’s teachings? Almost as if they are perverting our faith into being a religion of eunuchs.
Christ made it clear throughout all of that that we do not misdirect our ire on the innocent. The man whose ear was healed by Christ. His compassion for the tax collector and prostitutes. There are crimes we commit against ourselves and those that we unknowingly commit against others. Those are not Christ’s enemies. Those that willingly commit and encourage evil are and he makes it abundantly clear that they are better to suffer punishment here than in the afterlife.
Also our anger towards unrighteousness and evil deeds comes directly from God and poured into our souls. We have an outright revulsion to evil when we are in God’s grace. The saints routinely talk about our duty to remove/condemn/execute evil doers. We cannot have one without the other. Faith without works is dead.
Do u see how everything u said requires u to be the judge. Vengeance belongs to the Lord. I am not saying Jesus was a pacifist just that far to often people use that one verse as a bridge to condemn, attack, judge, or seek vengeance. Feel free to share any verse u were talking about above. I am not saying these people dont deserve death, I am saying it needs to be done by Gods will not our own need for justice.
That’s absurd. That argument would imply no one could enforce justice.
Why do people like you always try to reduce an argument to something so absurd? Did I say I’m the judge, jury, and executioner? Also why would it fucking matter? Are our laws not enforceable because no one is allowed to judge evil and wrong doing? Do you even understand the implications of your argument?
Christ routinely condemns evil … how is there only one verse that proclaims the fruits of evil require death? Penitent people understand and are forgiven because they understand and attempt contrition for their acts. I.e. most of us Christian sinners repent. Those that willfully do evil do not. Those that commit the unpardonable sin do not. God makes it clear that there are people that will perish for their deeds and that it is better for them to suffer punishment in this world than at his hands in the next.
I’m sorry but use a search engine or read your Bible. If you’re going to attempt to pull me to the mat then I expect you not to profess things you don’t know or understand. The gospels are four real easy books to read that are chalked full of Christ’s condemnations for evil doers.
Haha whatever u say there buddy. Its classic when someone cant even read my words right but then tells me they know more and that I need to read the bible. Have a good day
Can you read? You can’t spell.
Hahaha CLASSIC 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Have a good day pal
Yes and no because the book of Joshua is Hebrew text.
Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior, not the Jews and not Moses.
Never bring a flower to a knife fight.
