Terrorists: WWJD?

Jesus didn't call Peter satan! He call satan, satan.

I think that people know what I meant. *roll eyes*

Matthew 24:8-10 “All these are but the beginning of the birth pains. “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another.”​

What WILL Jesus do? Justice and judgement.

They called out in a loud voice, "How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?" Revelation 6:10​

So, are you saying that self defense or defense of others = vengence???

Did you READ where I typed that?

David would not kill Saul because Saul was the LORDS anointed. He did pretty good killing the terrorists however.

I often ask, what about the case of Christ when people say this?

I think His death pointed to a new way of doing things for His followers. He exampled again and again that if you live by the sword then you die by the sword.

I don't think that means that He intends for us to not fight to protect ourselves and our loved ones our those who are innocently caught in the crossfire. But rather each individual make the decision to be willing to give our lives if it's just us.

He told Peter to put down his knife.

He, Himself, chose again and again to not fight when faced with certain death at the hands of those who hated him.

Perhaps the way of the Christian when faced with such a dilemma isn't exactly what our flesh thinks it is.

When dealing with the innocent, perhaps we are to intercede to save lives the way that He did with the woman about to be stoned.

Just some different thoughts.

I bet you'd find yourself singing a different tune if you were aboard a city bus-----lets just say in crowded MARTA of Atlanta-----and a jihadist was found to be on board(discovered by YOU when he showed you his vest made of dynamite) and there were women and children on board------you would sweat your last drop of sweat looking at his hand on that dettinator-------suddenly what Jesus told Peter about putting his sword up in its scabbard becomes irrelevant----as you keep sweating buckshot-----since you discovered that YOU are the only man on board who can prevent women and children from dying horrible deaths!!! Will you come to the defence of the bus and its driver who so happens to be pregnant--------or would you reason-----well-----its God's will we all die!!!

There one of you go again with the demonizing of folks just because YOU want to falsely stereotype them. You could bet a thousand different scenarios and it would be just as irrelevant and have NOTHING to do with the 10,000 yet unnamed Syrian refugees.

Why don't some of ya start demonizing crazy white people? They seem to be the ones going into churches and shooting up folks. Ya got any vetting process for allowing all them to run around free? Or is the demonizing only for folks who don't look like you?

They DO look like me!!! What makes you think they don't??? YOU look like me!!! Black folks look like me! White folks look like me----I've told you once and tell you again-----I do not stereotype!!! White man come up to me for a fight-----he's gonna be met with resistance!! Middle East dude come after me to kidnap my family------somebody is fixin' to die!!!-------what we're saying is this-------I don't believe there is any way you can get 10,000 people in one spot without some sort of police force to police those 10,000 people!!

And I'll tell you again that the only reason you're talking about the jihadists terrorists is because you've chosen to stereotype Muslims and not little blonde haired , blue eyed white kids.

White man come up to me for a fight-----he's gonna be met with resistance!! Middle East dude come after me to kidnap my family------somebody is fixin' to die!!!-------what we're saying is this-------I don't believe there is any way you can get 10,000 people in one spot without some sort of police force to police those 10,000 people!!

And what is being said is there are already police in the United States. Let them police when they aren't busy murdering unarmed people.

blackbird..., liberalism contributes nothing to society at large. They only take from.
We have homeless vets with no financial support on the horizon but we're going to bring in untold thousands of Syrians of which at least 10% are radical..., and give them everything they need.

Liberalism. It works fine until other people's money runs out.

Hamel sez: "Liberalism. It works fine until other people's money runs out."

Or until the paying folk say "NO MORE" - whichever comes first.

Either way the takers ain't gonna take lightly to being yanked from their govt teat!
