..... for clarification/ example: (yahushua and the ekklesia NEVER purposefully hurt or killed someone - "be harmless as doves" is written... how many doves have been red barons?)
yet, if you confess with your moouth allegiance to the usa, and believe in your heart they are right (they're not, but what if),
and in so doing enlist in the military, (as a LOT of people have done (for a paycheck usually)),
then do you go through basic boot camp training or just go sit on the beach ?
i.e. whoever seeks the Creator of All LIfe, to be saved from the pernicious world as well as the deadly sinfulness of the flesh and the deeds there-of, and to be freed forever from the power of hasatan,
then, there-fore,
forthwith, as soon as they are able, according to every testimony in line with and in Scripture as the authority(and not man),
then
what will a (true) (yes, true; i.e. not half-harted, nor half-hearted either!) what will a true disciple/ follower/ believer trusting and relying on Yahushua (Jesus) then do ?
hint: the answer is in the bible several times, without contradiction and without paradox.... (p.s. not too often read directly, even by church-goers, and even less often understood (as only the pure in heart can understand, as it is written(i think)).....
footnote(for future import): the world's largest pagan group fights against Yahweh and won't even let His Name be printed (in their bibles) nor spoken in their buildings at all, including not during Bible reading, teaching of anything, or worship of their doings.
Confess with your mouth and believe in your heart...
ever hear of the "Baptist" Church? they kind of specialize in this area....I would say that I cant think of a Christian I know that's has not been baptized?
