But how long would you wait to see if the Spirit would guide you in that sort of direction? And what about Bible passages like Psalm 91 which talk about the protection of the Lord for his people? What about passages in the Bible like Shadrach, Misha, and Abednego, Who disobeyed the king and were...

So are you saying if some guy broke into your house with a gun and said that he wanted to kill you and your family because you were Christians that you would not defend yourselves with a gun and try to minister to this person until either the Lord saves you or your lives become a sacrifice for...

What about the thief on the cross? Is he going to heaven? I don’t think he was baptized

I’m interested to know what your guys thoughts are on this video? This video is about a Muslim man who converts to Christianity. In this video he talks about when he was a Muslim he would hate on Christians and beat them up. He said one day he made his friends followed a Christian boy from his...

Well, let us look at Daniel. We see in Daniel 6, that Daniel was a man of God who prayed to God three times a day. Some of the Admin and Satraps wanted to get at Daniel and so they made King Darius make a decree to make prayer illegal unless it was to King Darius and anyone who broke it would be...

I have, but I don’t remember it talking about what you are talking about. Also, I have given some thought about dying for Christ but I think you’re missing my point. I don’t believe that we should put ourselves into a position where we openly die for Christ without doing anything to defends...

Humor me

The reason that I asked that question was because I wanted to know which people made this world dangerous. I believe that everyone is made in God's image and loved by him but because of sin and brokenness, we all fall short of God's glory. We had no chance of redemption until Jesus came down...

OK, so let me get this straight, you believe that Jesus waited until the very end of his earthly ministry to tell his disciples to arm themselves not fully but just two people in a group of 11 or 12. And you also believe that it was so important that he only mentions it once? Also, you believe...

So just for clarification, what do you mean by a dangerous world? What makes this world dangerous?

You mean the lion of Judah who sacrificed his life for the sins of the whole world? OK I got you now

I understand that part I just don’t understand if you are for self-defense or self sacrifice.

Huh?

Could you explain this a little more?

Do you think missionaries that go to countries where it is illegal to be a Christian and where they can be killed for sharing there faith, bring or acquire guns so that they can kill anyone or protect themselves from people who want to hurt them? No, because they are on a mission from God to...

Yes, Luke 22 says, 49 When Jesus’ followers saw what was going to happen, they said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?” 50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear. 51 But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And he touched the man’s ear and healed...

What I am saying is that Jesus told them to get the swords for when they are with him in the garden. Right after he has them get the swords they go into the garden and then later, the chief priests and temple guard come and arrest them. If they did not have swords, they would not have looked...

Not at the supper table, but when Jesus was arrested in the garden.

First. when we look at the passages of Revelation, we can't always take them as literal but in the verses that you sighted, it seems like the Lord is coming to use the sword against those who have already been judged and have no chance at redemption. What I am talking about is that when we talk...

I already stated earlier that the only intended purpose of the swords was to fulfill the prophecy that Jesus and his followers were counted among the rebels and transgressors.
