How exactly does that inspire others to seek Christ?How does that offer redemption to the lost? How does that show God is more powerful than man? What fruit is that producing that we may be known by? Pagans murder their enemies in droves is that the standard we are competing with? Are we just like them but with hypocrisy or are we offering something far far more real? Do you know which of these evil “Satanist “ is not written in the book of life? Are you sure? Would be a hard conversation to have to meet Jesus and explain that rather than offering testimony you offered a sword. Saul was and enemy until he became Paul.
Is Christianity best off when it is in atheist societies like the Soviet Union, or even today in China? Or under Islam? Then we have nothing but opportunities to share the Gospel and save our enemies.
We can see that Christianity flourishes best when we come together as a body placing Christ as our greatest authority and living out his commands. Atheism, Paganism, communism - our faith as triumphed all those. Rome was not a friendly place and yet 12 gave rise to the gospel there. Russia has more believers currently than we do despite the oppression under the iron curtain- Even right now Iran is currently experiencing the greatest revival in the world. The entire point is when we reach the end of ourselves we see God show up. I personally believe that there is yet another way. If we each strengthen our walks and encourage others in theirs I truly believe that can have massive effects. Just as the hidden church’s have done for thousands of years. Discipleship in action. This time to side sidestep the overwhelming of human realtionship by indoctrination. Should we encourage the attacks against our faith absolutely not we have paths that don’t include violence. If and when God calls for battle then it will be with Jesus at the command and against the principalitys until then I believe earnestly our job is to use the love of Christ to snatch back as man as possible from the enemies jaws.-I would like you to note as well that during the crusades the power dynamics created Faith based dynasties that we are looking at now as strongholds of the cabal. Once we step away from Christ directives we become vulnerable. There is a happy medium between giving up our path and becoming our enemy in all but name. We don’t have to let it get that far to do something. We can also create fertile ground for believers in our day to day existence submission and prayer. Revival can turn our enemies into our breathern. Our sword is the Word and the Word is truly more powerful than we are
When i said kill, them. It was because satanists were the the subject group. A group that specifically hates God and rejects Him, and seek to destroy his people. I wasn't talking about pagans or atheists or even Muslims, but i wouldn't permit them into governance or leadership.
I firmly believe Matthew 18:6 doesn’t only apply to those that harm His children, but those that permit harm to be done to His children. Allowing evil to permeate in society will cause many to stumble and lose faith. You must protect the flock before saving others. We're putting our children in danger allowing this stuff to persist. It should be destroyed with extreme prejudice.
We agree that allowing them into governance when we have another option is ridiculous. Now is when we fight with our votes and voices so swords aren’t needed. - I don’t mean to come at you so fiercely unfortunately your post hit me at a time when I am realizing how little we as a faith are doing for the gap generation here in our own country. Young men and women of faith who have not yet established families are crying out for leadership and support as Christians. It hits me wrong that we are quick to throw them in the fray without armor and that if we missionary into that generation like a foreign culture we may not need them to fight with their bodies when their spirits and minds are not for the taking. Don’t take my word for it. Look for yourself try and find true fellowship and ministries for our young adults. We can do more do better and give them islands in this sea of garbage. THAT too is a fight and one that should be fought NOW. You want to take in Statanist then you better get a spiritual army ready because until you are ready on that front you are definitely NOT ready for the physical. Not trying to be obnoxious I appreciate your desire to comfort evil we need it but I am honestly sharing a truth too often overlooked. We can’t fight only in the physical we must fight in the Spirit because we aren’t fighting people but principality’s
