SnowJay92:I am not a christian. I can kill in self defense. But jesus won't and none of his true followers should. Christians should leave vengeance to God. |

Catholics do not force anyone to do anything. You can pay tithe or not,sow seeds or not,that is how Churches are meant to be. That is why it is the one and true church of Christ! #proudcatholic |

SHALOM! HardMirror: The only legitimate definition of a "CHRISTIAN" is one who follows Yahshua's Teachings, and obeys his Commandments. . JOHN 8:30-32. 30. As he spake these Words, many believed on him. 31. Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, "If ye continue in my Word, (then) are ye my Disciples indeed; 32. "And ye shall know The Truth, and The Truth shall make you Free." ANY PERSON SAYING THAT GOD GAVE THEM SOME REVELATION OR DIRECTIVE THAT CONTRADICTS YAHSHUA'S TEACHINGS IS DELUDED AND LYING. There is no such thing. . MATTHEW 7:12-29. 12. "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is The Law and The Prophets. 13. "Enter ye in at The Strait Gate: for wide is the Gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to Destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14. "Because strait is the Gate, and narrow is The Way, which leadeth unto Life, and few there be that find it. 15. "Beware of False Prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16. "Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17. "Even so every Good Tree bringeth forth Good Fruit; but a Corrupt Tree bringeth forth Evil Fruit. 18. "A Good Tree cannot bring forth Evil Fruit, neither can a Corrupt Tree bring forth Good Fruit. 19. "Every tree that bringeth not forth Good Fruit is hewn down, and cast into the Fire. 20 Wherefore by their Fruits ye shall know them. 21. "Not every one that saith unto me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter into The Kingdom of Heaven; but He that doeth The Will of my Father Which is in Heaven. 22 Many will say to me in That Day, 'LORD, LORD, HAVE WE NOT PROPHESIED IN THY NAME? AND IN THY NAME HAVE CAST OUT DEVILS? AND IN THY NAME DONE MANY WONDERFUL WORKS?' 23. "And then will I profess unto them, 'I NEVER KNEW YOU: DEPART FROM ME, YE THAT WORK INIQUITY.' 24. "Therefore whosoever heareth These Sayings of mine, and doeth Them, I will liken him unto a Wise Man, which built his house upon a rock: 25. "And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26 . "And every one that heareth These Sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a Foolish Man, which built his house upon the sand: 27. "And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it." 28. And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these Sayings, the people were astonished at his Doctrine: 29. For He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. THERE IS A PREPONDERANCE OF FALSE PROPHETS AND FALSE CHRISTIANS CLAIMING REVELATIONS AND DIRECTIVES THAT CONTRADICT YAHSHUA'S GOSPEL. These are FOOLS, without a FOUNDATION, according to Yahshua. They will FAIL under PRESSURE, Yahshua said. There is therefore no way that a FOLLOWER OF YAHSHUA can justify resorting to violence. . MATTHEW 5:21-26. 21. "Ye have heard that it was said by them of Old Time, 'THOU SHALT NOT KILL;' and WHOSOEVER SHALL KILL SHALL BE IN DANGER OF THE JUDGEMENT: 22. "But I say unto you, 'THAT WHOSOEVER IS ANGRY WITH HIS BROTHER WITHOUT A CAUSE SHALL BE IN DANGER OF THE JUDGMENT: and whosoever shall say to his brother, 'RACA,' shall be in Danger of the Council: but whosoever shall say, "THOU FOOL," shall be in Danger of Hell Fire.' 23. "Therefore if thou bring thy Gift to the Altar, and there rememberest that thy Brother hath ought against thee; 24. "Leave there thy Gift before the Altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy Brother, and then come and offer thy Gift. 25. "Agree with thine Adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the Adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the Judge deliver thee to the Officer, and thou be cast into Prison. 26. "Verily I say unto thee, "THOU SHALT BY NO MEANS COME OUT THENCE, TILL THOU HAST PAID THE UTTERMOST FARTHING.' " Those who are angry with their fellow man for no Just Cause ARE IN A PRISON OF THEIR OWN CHOOSING- and they will never get out, until they have paid the appropriate dues. Therefore, a TRUE Christian cannot possibly be a killer. . MATTHEW 5:38-48. 38. "Ye have heard that it hath been said, 'AN EYE FOR AN EYE, AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH:' 39. "But I say unto you, 'THAT YE RESIST NOT EVIL: BUT WHOSOEVER SHALL SMITE THEE ON THY RIGHT CHEEK, TURN TO HIM THE OTHER ALSO.' 40. "And if any man will sue thee at the Law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. 41. "And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. 42. "Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. 43. "Ye have heard that it hath been said, 'THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR, AND HATE THINE ENEMY.' 44. "But I say unto you, 'LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, BLESS THEM THAT CURSE YOU, DO GOOD TO THEM THAT HATE YOU, AND PRAY FOR THEM WHICH DESPITEFULLY USE YOU, AND PERSECUTE YOU;' 45. "That ye may be The Children of your Father Which is in Heaven: for He maketh His Sun to rise on the Evil and on the Good, and sendeth rain on the Just and on the Unjust. 46. "For if ye love them which love you, what Reward have ye? Do not even the publicans the same? 47. "And if ye salute your Brethren only, what do ye more than others? Do not even the publicans so? 48. "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father Which is in Heaven is Perfect." A REAL CHRISTIAN is completely harmless. There seems to be Absolutely NO REASON why a christian should be a soldier. Jesus would certainly from at any of his sheep throwing bombs at souls he created. THERE IS NO REASON FOR A CHRISTIAN TO BE A SOLDIER- BECAUSE A CHRISTIAN HAS NO MEST TO DEFEND. SINNERS go to War when they either want someone else's MATTER, ENERGY, SPACE, AND TIME, or else someone else wants THEIRS.' YAHSHUA COMMANDED, (not "suggested,) that if someone asks for your MEST, you should GIVE IT TO THEM. .. EXODUS 20:17. 17. "Thou shalt not Covet thy Neighbour's House, thou shalt not Covet thy Neighbour's Wife, nor his Manservant, nor his Maidservant, nor his Ox, nor his Ass, nor Any Thing that is thy Neighbour's." IF SOMEONE COVETS YOUR MEST, THEY DO NOT HAVE GOD. The price of ETERNAL LIFE is that you MUST yield "your" MEST on request. No excuses. . MARK 10:28-31. 28. Then Peter began to say unto him, "Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee." 29. And Jesus answered and said, "Verily I say unto you, 'There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and The Gospel's, 30. 'But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the World to come Eternal Life.' 31. "But many that are first shall be last; and the last first." What are your thoughts on this? A SOLDIER WHO VIOLATES THE LAW OF GOD IS NOT GOING TO HEAVEN- IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE HE OR SHE IS KILLED. IS THERE ANY TIME A CHRISTIAN IS PERMITTED TO KILL? CAN A CHRISTIAN KILL IN SELF DEFENSE? If a Christian has to defend themselves, it follows that they do not believe that GOD defends THEM. That means that they are neither RIGHTEOUS, nor HOLY. In which case, WHAT USE ARE THEY? Those sorts of Christians" are virtually WORTHLESS! LUKE 16:1-15.[b] AND he said also unto his Disciples, "There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods. 2. "And he called him, and said unto him, [b]'HOW IS IT THAT I HEAR THIS OF THEE? GIVE AN ACCOUNT OF THY STEWARDSHIP; FOR THOU MAYEST BE NO LONGER STEWARD.' 3. "Then the steward said within himself, 'WHAT SHALL I DO? FOR MY LORD TAKETH AWAY FROM ME THE STEWARDSHIP: I CANNOT DIG; TO BEG I AM ASHAMED. 4. 'I AM RESOLVED WHAT TO DO, THAT, WHEN I AM PUT OUT OF THE STEWARDSHIP, THEY MAY RECEIVE ME INTO THEIR HOUSES.' 5. "So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, 'HOW MUCH OWEST THOU UNTO MY LORD?' 6. "And he said, 'AN HUNDRED MEASURES OF OIL.' And he said unto him, 'TAKE THY BILL, AND SIT DOWN QUICKLY, AND WRITE FIFTY.' 7. "Then said he to another, 'AND HOW MUCH OWEST THOU?' And he said, 'AN HUNDRED MEASURES OF WHEAT.' And he said unto him, 'TAKE THY BILL, AND WRITE FOURSCORE.' 8. "And the lord commended the Unjust Steward, because he had done wisely: for the Children of this World are in their Generation wiser than the Children of Light. 9. "And I say unto you, 'MAKE TO YOURSELVES FRIENDS OF THE MAMMON OF UNRIGHTEOUSNESS; THAT, WHEN YE FAIL, THEY MAY RECEIVE YOU INTO EVERLASTING HABITATIONS.' 10. "He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. 11. "If therefore ye have not been faithful in the Unrighteous Mammon, who will commit to your trust The True Riches? 12. "And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own? 13. "No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon." 14. And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him. 15. And he said unto them, "Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is Abomination in The Sight of God. 16. "The Law and the Prophets were until John: since that time The Kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into It. 17. "And it is easier for Heaven and Earth to pass, than one tittle of The Law to fail." FALSE PREACHERS MAKE THEIR LIVING FROM LYING TO PEOPLE, TELLING THEM THAT THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED OR CANCELLED.

HardMirror:Son, cummando is right! In the Old testament, God gave the commandments to Moses which included the command not to kill, yes, but in the same old testament, the same God told Saul to utterly KILL the Amelekites. Are u saying God is an author of confusion, which He is not? Are u sayin Gods words are contradictory, which it isnt? Son, pls stop takin verses of scripture out of context. The command not to kill in the commandments refers to mindless, murderous killing i.e u cnt just wake like a fulani herdsman n tk up arms n murder someone not one which occurs in a conflict or war! Do not also forget dt Jesus elevated this to not just physical attack on someone but also about an evil thought or speech about someone else. So d qstn u shd ask urself is if u do ds without "killing" as a soldier! |

Henceforth desist from commenting on my threads cos you have nothing sensible to say. Commando or comundo whatever your name is, keep deceiving yourself. There is no way a TRUE christian can justify a soldier talkless of being in the military. Only "christians" who don't know scripture would yern such rubbish. |

neocortex:it seems you did not understand my first post. The 6th commandment say "thou shall do no MUDER" does it forbid all killing ? The answer is NO.murder involve killing unlawfully,deliberate plan attack against your fellow man for the purpose of taking his life for reasons that are purely sinful. Examples of killing that do not fall into the category of murder are ,1. court execute a murdere. 2 police man using his gun to protect the innocent.3 soldier fighting for the honour of their land. Etc this are not murder, this are kiling that do not fall in the category of the 6th commandment. 1 Like |
