Christ's Crucifixion~Passive?
St. Peter's Crucifixion~Passive?
Abraham & Isaac~Passive?
Millions of martyrs could have picked up arms and fought the bad guys~we like the "wise as serpents" but not the "harmless as doves"...
Mt 10:16 Mt 10:23 NKJV
Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.
But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils and scourge you in their synagogues. You will be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak; for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.
Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.
And you will be hated by all for My names sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved. When they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For assuredly, I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
With this post I'm going to back out of this forum for a while~~it may well be when the rubber hits the road I'm not the typical conservative, and I've some other projects to deal with. Further I dwell I find myself even further away from the red-white-blue gop conservative paradigm that is trying to be preserved. I would love to wrap myself in it again, but it is a soiled garment I have cast off once~and while I've come close to donning it again it would simply be a dog returning to its vomit. Some will consider me a lib no doubt~that would be your error. But the arguing is something of which I've no interest at this point. I came to a point with this regarding calvinists~should be no surprise it would come to a head these topics we've been hammering out here.
It may well be you all could be right~if so then I'm arguing against God and that would be just one more sin for me to deal with; so I bid you all peace and Godspeed.
