Title: Peace or be hated? Post by: dub on August 25, 2013, 11:10:25 pm Matthew 10:34 Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
For anyone that does not know red letters means that it was spoken by Jesus Christ. So for all those that think Chrstians should be peaceful I ask why? Now that does not mean seek conflict but we should never back down from what we believe for the sake of peace. We should bring the sword with God's word. Matthew 10:22 You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. So what if I am hated? They will have to answer for it on judgement day.

I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. If more people followed these Words they would be better off. When I get asked if I believe in God my response is " yes is there a problem that ?" Meaning I will not be challenged in my beleif.For anyone that does not know red letters means that it was spoken by Jesus Christ. So for all those that think Chrstians should be peaceful I ask why?

Title: Re: Peace or be hated? Post by: dub on September 04, 2013, 09:59:23 pm I just ain't gonna say that I am sorry for what the Bible says and I believe. I do believe that I should love my neighbor but that don't mean I gotta be weak. The people that hate me because of Christ are the ones saying I hate them. But I don't hate anyone just don't agree with them so they hate me. But I know the day is coming and every knee will bow.
It says the anti Christ will bring peace while Jesus brings the sword. It just forces you to look at what is inside and ask if you are acting in love. Love does not mean weak or even peaceful. It say to live at peace with your neighbor as much as it depends on you. So don't start trouble but you don't give up your beliefs either. |
