The difference is they are trained to protect everyone.
That means you do have something against them, because if a saved person cannot do that job, then you believe only condemned people do it.
I would never call anyone condemned, i don't call others unsaved either, i have hope for everyone! I don't see other people like that, God loves all of us and wants us all back. My uncle was an atheist, and became a strong man in God once he heard the word from a man preaching, and he said it was like a sword went straight into his heart when he heard what the man said.
I'm just thinking of how i myself am. Before i truly knew God, I would have fought in a minute. If i hadn't known God, I think, knowing what my flesh is like, I'd have no problem with fighting back.
But I've seen first hand what hatred can do, not only when i was young, but in my own life. And since God has taken hold of my heart, he's changed me. Whereas if i didn't know him, i think that the things that have happened to me in my life, would have hardened me and I'd be awful against some people. But, God has shown me that this is wrong, and instead of being hard and angry, i don't want others to go through what i have been through, and i want them to know this love of God and know how much he can change our hearts, to a point where we actually care for those who have put us through suffering. Only God can do this, there is no way i could have overcome? that hardness that i felt without him.
You are speaking nonsense. How about you were hiding as someone broke in and you had your phone? Now stop talking this way. I only brought up the scripture about man killing men who shed blood because you said only God can take life. I gave scripture that tells you differently. Now you are going on about things we already discussed.
I just can't ever see myself using a weapon to fight GT. I can't say never, because i don't know what will happen in my life, but i cant see it. And i think that you might find it harder than you think if you were put in that situation, now that you know God. Do you think that you could stand there and pull the trigger and take a life? And I don't mean when an intruder is attacking your family in the night, i mean after being told by a commander to pick up a gun and shoot. Then, turn to look at another person, and pull the trigger? I think that would be very hard and i don't think that i could do it. We would be killing someones son, husband or father!
My grandad said that many in ww2 were youngsters, imagine that? Imagine having to fight against kids. It must be a horrific situation to be in. War does nothing but kill and cause hatred and hardness. The love of God overcomes this.
I have nothing against soldiers, my heart goes out to those who have suffered and who have seen war, it must be awful. But knowing God like I do now, i don't think i could do it. Hearing what my grandad said about war and seeing what hatred can do on my own life, has made me see that fighting is wrong and it just brings forth hatred. And God through Christ has showed me another way. I've seen what hatred does, and how hard people can become. And i know that love overcomes this. Can you imagine what the world would be like if everyone truly followed Jesus, and entered into his new and living way?
Amen. I hope to discuss with you soon, maybe about something we agree with.
Me too
