the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly , but powerful to God for bringing down strongholds read 2 cor ch 10 v 4-5
youngs translation,
the true genuine believer has a choice , follow the Way and steps of the LORD JESUS 1 peter ch 2 v 21 – 23
or unfortunately use human error or strength, the believer has no authority from God to use law / politics or self defence or any weapons based on New testament standards to fight back , paul says in 1 cor 1 v 27 GOD chose the foolish for Christ sake , and ch 3 v 19 the wisdom of the world is foolish in Gods sight ,
if a true christian takes up weapons what text is there , it concerns me much why a believer uses the world with phases to protect , getting even , tit for tat , how can a brother or sister get pass Romans ch 12 v 19 – 21
Matthew ch 5 v 39 – 44 / Luke ch 6 v 27 29 30 35 what is encouraged is found in Eph ch 6 v 10 – 17 ,
no place for a christian for any type of vendetta, when you have to consider that Jesus lived and walked in humility , no room for any brother or sister to act on violence , many christians are highly mis lead by using
violence or law or politics, because the New Testament cant be any clearer , when you read about the LORD JESUS in Isaiah ch 42 v 2 and ch 53 v 9 what cause can we have to use any weapons , as with all content
on this web site two main bible text is the main motives and mission
1 Cor ch 2 v 10 & 13 and 2 Tim ch 2 v 15 , therefore its clear enough from Gen to resurrection of CHRIST was the first dispensation, the law , how God looked after His remnant ,
then the 2nd dispensation when JESUS came to give Himself , time of grace until the bride is taken up from the earth , if only past christians had read and acted on 2 Tim ch 1 v 13 jnd trans the testimony would be much brighter , but extreme christians still now world wide use the law and politics instead of the Shied of faith
right up till the calling up of , the called up ones from the earth those who claim to be saved by Christ and use the law will only make the testimony darker as history has shown , its been said quote would do anything to protect
but history shows vigilant style does not work because God will never allow it to , and using law will disappoint
every time , the LORD JESUS suffered severe harshness before and after His sentence ,and yet He who knew no sin became sin 2 Cor 5 v 21 , ought not those who claim to know the Lord set an example , the time will come when all unsaved persons will be judged Rev ch 20 v 11-12 , and all saved persons wlll lose rewards at Christ judgement seat for not trusting God in times when threatened or struck . when using violence or perusing law,
if a brother or sister in Christ does wrong its a matter of assembly discipline , ie repentance and restoring to fellowship, if a unsaved person attacks , pray is needed and wisdom , and pray that unsaved person will be convicted and saved , anything more is contrary to the new testament, not pleasing to the LORD , not lead of the Holy Spirit .
