Everyone who thinks violence is the answer to violence, raise your hand and say "aye!"
TwinCrier said:Let me guess, a pscifist extremist that lives in lala land where everyone is all nice and shares flowers and hugs their teddy bears thinks everyone who supports the use of force in defense of self, family or country is a big green meanie. Lord only knows how such people will fare in armegeddon.
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
JPPT1974 said:Jesus came to send peace
And to make sure the world was peaceful
In Him!
TheUltimateWarrior said:Actually Jesus Said "Dont think I have come to bring peace, but a sword".
lambslove said:So then, violence is the solution to violence, in the words of Jesus?
TheUltimateWarrior said:You really need to stop changing what I say, if you have no arguement against my words thats fine, but dont put words in my mouth when you lack a better arguement.
lambslove said:Then what ARE you saying?
TheUltimateWarrior said:That to say Jesus came to bring Peace on earth is Scripturally untrue and that Jesus said he came not to bring peace but a Sword. I thought i made it pretty clear, especially since I quoted someone.
lambslove said:But what does that mean, specifically?
How does that take form in the real world?

TheUltimateWarrior said:It means that Jesus did not come to bring peace on the earth but a sword. I think it spretty simple.
A sword cuts and is used to kill in battle. Dont bait me, go ahead and say what you are waiting to say and we can save three pages of the run-around.
The Lord's Envoy said:But in real simple terms: Kill the other guy and the immediate violence ends.
The Lord's Envoy said:I don't think the verse that says Jesus brought a sword not peace has anything to do with violence per se. It's more of an illustration that when one embraces the Gospel it makes one an enemy of the world. We are now hostile to the world, whether it be our family who are without Christ or the against the Government. I don't think that verse on its own is ground for violence to be shed.
