What would Jesus' or Paul's role have been in the Revolution?

I don't think the NRA is an army. But I feel uneasy with your position of defending the Constitution with force if they think it necessary. What about the American Revolution? Would you have prefered the killing of British Christians o…

If the NRA will use violence to overthrow the Civil Magistrate, where do you as a Christian fit in?

Thanks. But if this is the case, the NRA is then in part a "sleeper cell"? And why I originally asked about the possibility of attacking God's Civil Magistrate.

I'm anti-war, anti-capital punishment, and anti-abortion based on God's will for "Christians only" under the New Covenant. But I believe God continues, as in OT times, to use all of the above in his wrath against sin in the people and world aroun…

The Pharisees also believed in the resurrection. They were the supposed experts in the Law. So maybe they saw what I'm talking about. That is, the contradictions in God's promise to Abraham when viewed at face value. And the harmony in…

Thanks for the comments. But what I'm saying is that there are no accidents or tragedies apart from God. Not even a sparrow drops dead apart from his will. And we need to interpret the days we live in according to this.
The mes…

When you say "protect the Constitution" what do you mean? I can view this in several ways. Stockpiling guns just to show you can do it under the second amendment. Or launching a violent overthrow of any government that tampers with the…

Job believed in a literal resurrection from the dead.

Do you think the purpose of the NRA is to protect the Constitution with guns if necessary?

Are you suggesting using violence against God's civil magistrate?

I think when spiritually understood the OT pointed to a resurrection, Heaven, and a New Heavens and Earth. But to the unspiritual, it held forth only temporal material blessing. I used Job as an example. Also Hebrews suggests Abraham saw much mor…

I've been thinking about teachers I know of being armed. And I don't think it is a good move. That is, to use any teacher, already worn to a frazzle, in the place of unbiased trained law enforcement. They need to put trained cops in a…

You assume too much in measuring others by your own limitations.

The fact remains that you cannot see Christ's divinity in scripture. So you assume nobody else should be able to.

It is as I said earlier. Christ, according to Paul, became of no reputation as God. But history shows he became of great reputation as man. So it is no wonder many cannot discern his divinity, not to mention the trinity.
-
For starters I believe Easter is a pagan holiday and it is doubtful Jesus was crucified on "good Friday". But it is a celebration nonetheless of his death, burial, and resurrection. And for this reason I believe it is a good practice. Just as Chr…

Yes. There is only one triune God. But unlike Christ whose person is God, we have God reconstructing our spirit (person) into his image. But each member of the triune God performs different roles. And the Holy Spirit performs this role.

Thanks for the question. I believe the "foreverness" of God's promise to Abraham demands something blissful far beyond Canaan's limitations, and earth's then perceived temporality. Job expected his own resurrection from the dead. David fully expe…

Thanks for your comments. I'm a cessationist, believing all tongue speaking and prophecy since the death of the Apostles is false. But I believe in divine healing through the prayer of faith. Also the Christian's power over demonic for…

Thanks for the post. I heard there was quite a stir over some of his YouTube posts but didn't pay any attention until now. I admire the composure and level headedness of those reacting to LP's posts in this video. And his insanity only brings out…

In the beginning God acted in creation. From that point on, every other movement, is a reaction. God is the only cause, everything else is the effect including secondary causes.
In the thought realm. …

This is correct to a point. But people freely choose what they want according to the reasons God sends. And this involves them in either the reward or punishment that stems from their actions.

People choose what they want most, or what they think is best from among their options. But God manipulates them by sending all of the reasons, internal and external, that determine their final choice. He controls them, but they always…

People always do whatever they want most in any situation. But always for a reason. God provides the reasons people base their choices on. People can only will what they want, but they cannot will the reason that led them to choose what they wan…

Since people always do what they want for the reason God sent, they incur the guilt or blessing that results from their choice.

But people always have a reason behind each choice. And the reason is beyond their control. Yet God controls all things, including the reasons people base their choices on, according to his will.

There are many ways to look at this tragedy. But scripture shows not even a sparrow falls to the ground apart from God. And that he empowers all things according to his will. Even the day of everyone's death is certain.
