This does not apply to swearing to kill or help kill the States enemies contrary to the teachings of Christ.

That's swell. He was still aiding and abetting a killing machine against Christ's teachings for any wanting to follow Him.

Desmond was still helping to kill his enemies instead of loving them. If he did as Christ commanded, he would give aid to the enemy.

Anyone who lives the Sermon on the Mount will be in big trouble in the military.

An easy argument against Believers in the Military is Paul's admonition not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers. Another is walking after the flesh of the unregenerate when we cannot walk after our own flesh.

Back in the 70's Christ converted me apart from any church involvement. Many churches were pro-war, so I went anywhere they tolerated peace. I bounced around for several years in Pentecostalism. One of those churches was teaching against "Limited Atonement" but the Lord opened my understanding...

I don't attend church but spend every day in the word and related study. If you study prominent Catholic doctrines. They are easy to spot in practically every church. To me, this represents the presence of Antichrist linked to the Papacy.

No. There are many styles of Baptists. None in my area I would seek fellowship with. One I would trust is 40 miles away but that sort of time and travel is not an option.

No. I have several major disagreements with most churches and steer clear of them. I believe the Antichrist papacy still remains in the temple of God, doctrinally.

Loving enemies means setting your love on those you hate. If you love them subjectively, they are no longer enemies. God set His love on us when we had nothing to love but only to hate.

“There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.” Romans 3:11 (KJV 1900)

If you have free will, you control God who adapts His plans to accommodate your choices. And does not know all until you clue Him in. Hint, this is not the God of the Bible by any means. This is not biblical Christianity.

Humans cannot even control their tongues. If they had free will, they could be sinless.

If you were to share the gospel using the Word in a Bible study. It would take a long time. If you understand the gospel of the Kingdom, you would summarize it verbally as did Peter at Pentecost. Peter summarised this and added the new aspects of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection to it...

People cannot understand the bible in spiritual matters unless first saved (born-again).

Soul-winning? All that God gave to Christ will come to him. Have you ever noticed how the Apostles perceived that people had faith to be healed before spending time on them? Salvation is no different. Preach to every creature? Man-made schemes and rock groups only pack the churches with tares...

I think the PRC has lots of truth. I studied under Englesma's bible study and learned much. But the Baptists have it right on Church polity.

It is the Holy Spirit that teaches, not you. You are judging people by your own inabilities. Give them a dictionary and turn them loose on some real food. You'll be surprised.

“But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self. For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will...
