Christians, War, and Violence

Yet another attempt to nullify scripture. Believers carry out government tasks including the use of deadly force. Recall all the examples from Hebrews 11 and the Centurion?

 

Yet another attempt to remove us from our job as servants of Christ, as His ambassadors in the world but not of the world.

 

On and on you are denying scripture, but scripture provides many examples of believers acting within government authority using deadly force.

 

Yet another attempt to nullify scripture. Protecting others according to government authority is carried out by believers in both the Old and New Testament.

 

Stop misrepresenting my position. Provide a quote where I said such a thing. You cannot. You are now wasting elections using strawman arguments.

Scripture is clear, acting under government authority believers can and do use deadly force. See Hebrews 11 and the Centurion.

 

Of course... you never know when Hannibal could be at the gate.

 

No, that'd be YOU & your cult, with your "edomite Jew" goofiness & other hooey you've posted here. I go by SCRIPTURE, believed literally as possible, frr of man's false interps.

 

I think you misunderstand. You are taking from two different chapters and misinterpreting both by mashing them up to fit your narrative.

Romans 13 King James Version (KJV)
13 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
ordained. Ordained means invested with the authority to act as a priest. ... Ordained comes from the root meaning "order," and when you are ordained, you're brought into the religious order, or group of church leaders.

2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power (OF AN ORDAINED PRIEST), resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

3 For rulers ( CONCERNING RULERS AS PRIEST IN GOD)are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power?( POWER GIVEN THEM BY GOD) do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:

4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. ( THE SWORD HERE IS THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN WORD which slays, just as it did Ananias and Sapphira).

5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.( TITHES ARE THE TRIBUTE, which Ananias and Sapphira held back and lied about)

7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.

14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

 

I smell an AGENDA! Well no coincidence that this forum is most military rather than Christian.

 

Makes no difference to what ordained of God is and being subject to that in obedience and what subject to worldly authorities means .....that means not reacting violently to their subjugation over you as an evil authority.
