It's a metaphor. What if the country is being raped by those who don't like our way of life? Do we resist?

Says the person who just brought up my Calvinist belief earlier :doh:
I don't go into meaningless argument like this.
You are playing "what if" game.
I will not cooperate trying to justify your violent faith.
That is relevant. You follow Calvin, look at your signature.
Pacifists don't follow any man. They follow Jesus.
Pacifism comes from the word peace
Jesus said
I have not come to bring peace to the world but a sword
Jesus said
I have not come to bring peace to the world but a sword
This is to be the word which we follow
Yeah, that's because it contradicts your theory. Have you ever read the Hebrew Bible?
When Christ brought Jacob's people out of Egypt they were afraid to conquer the land of Canaan. They wandered for forty years in Arabia because of their pacificity.
You can come up with all kinds of excuses to justify your violent faith.
I will not accommodate you, lady.

No, they wandered the 40 years because the created the golden calf while Moses was receiving the 10 commandments. God made them grind up the calf and drink the bitter waters and then were told that only their children would inherit the promised land.
It was because of their unfaithfulness.
Pacifism must logically include the civil police force
When shackles wanted her husband out she called the police to enforce her will

I understand that we don't have a king. We chose to not have a King in the founding of our country.
But in the Bible, head of the nation is called king. So presidents are kings in Bible term.
all leaders of the nations are kings in bible term.
If you keep that in mind you understand what KR said to you.
No, we do not have a king.
Jacob,
You seem to be so out of touch from reality.
I cannot communicate with you.
You don't seem to know what is going on in the world. Just like living like hermit.
You cannot evangelize by being out of touch from reality. Jesus interacted with real people, friend.
You are going extreme of being not be of the world.
We can strive to be not of the world with knowing and interacting with the world.
I hope I am not confusing you again.
this is the pattern I have with you.

And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, “How long shall I bear with this evil congregation who complain against Me? I have heard the complaints which the children of Israel make against Me. Say to them, ‘As I live,’ says the LORD, ‘just as you have spoken in My hearing, so I will do to you: The carcasses of you who have complained against Me shall fall in this wilderness, all of you who were numbered, according to your entire number, from twenty years old and above. Except for Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun, you shall by no means enter the land which I swore I would make you dwell in. But your little ones, whom you said would be victims, I will bring in and they shall know the land which you have despised. But as for you, your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness. And your sons shall be shepherds in the wilderness forty years and bear the brunt of your infidelity until your carcasses are consumed in the wilderness.
According to the number of the days in which you spied out the land, forty days, for each day you shall bear your guilt one year, namely forty years, and you shall know My rejection. I the LORD have spoken this. I will surely do so to all this evil congregation who are gathered together against Me. In this wilderness they shall be consumed and there they shall die. (Numbers 14:26-35)

Revelation 19 KJV
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
Good day to you, sir. You are on ignore/un-ignore.
