Speak for yourself dear.
A bird in the hand is worth more than two in the bush sweety.
Why don't you go to Iran and North Korea and try to make peace dear?
At least she has one admirer.
Many may not know this, but Meshak is as ignorant as they come.
Is there anything inside your skull?
Hey, Meshak, you now off ignore dear. Watch what you say though or I'll put you back on ignore Sir.
Were the prophets and the Holy Spirit wrong, then?
Luk 1:67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
Luk 1:68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
Luk 1:69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
Luk 1:70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:
Luk 1:71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
Christians who are going after popularity or majority will not go for pacifism. It is not politically correct.
there are many politically incorrect Jesus' teachings.
That's why Jesus says narrow is the Gate to lead to life, and only a few find it.
We should be careful what we choose or adopt in our lives.

Killing does not necessarily mean murder, there is a difference. A difference that you have somehow missed.
Loving your neighbor is like concentric circles where your closest neighbor is your family, then those who need help, then friends and acquaintances, then your adversaries such as Satan and Satan inspired persons.
The military and law enforcement officers who kill in defense of themselves or others don't hate the person, they hate the person's actions.
Loving your enemy means respecting their humanity but not their evil actions.
Jesus loves his enemies but will kill them if need be. God loved Ananias and Sapphira but hated their actions and relieved them of life.
We are called on to judge righteous judgment in mercy and love, but that does not preclude the death penalty for capital crimes. I believe it is much more merciful to execute persons who commit capital crimes than to cage a person for life without parole. We can deal with them in the second resurrection. No problem. We kill the body but not the soul. Jesus said the flesh profits nothing.

This is popular excuse and majority accepted in the USA.
You can excuse away all you want. It will not change the fact the Jesus and His disciples did not kill anyone or endorse to kill for self-defense or any reason in NT times.
they are a good example to follow. And read the OP again.And find out how many you are dismissing or disregarding for your convenience.

I'm only nine years old. I'm quite brilliant, for a nine year old, don't you reckon, Hop Sing? And Professor Demas is ignorant, not knowing the biblical principle of how metaphors, figures of speech, allegories....are employed, to "strengthen" literal events.
Now, you are not a "real" poster, so thanks for checking in, and please take your seat-way in the back...

vs. This mess's "argument" that "Jesus," which she mutters in disrespect, was a "pacifist," while employing a whip, and driving out the devil's children, from His Father's house.
Without a clue. Good day to you, sir.
You are such a drain on this forum, constantly accusing Christians of doing wrong and acting as if you live in the time of Jesus. Please find a new activity
America certainly acts as if God is on their side, but I am not sure that is true.
The only time a sword is used by St Peter, Jesus tells him to put the sword away, so when does Jesus say it is ok to use a sword to kill?
Jesus said that he existed before Abraham. In Exodus 21:23 he instructed life for life when warranted.
Perhaps she could design and sell those silly hats she wears?
You is now on eggnore Sir.

You believe Jesus loves you?
Then why do you respond by loudly and proudly despising what he taught, rejecting the example he set and mocking his Spirit?
If Jesus were around today you'd be laughing at him and mocking him as he hung on the cross, for refusing to take up arms and defend himself.
