1 | We shouldn't be in the military? | Eccl 3:8 | He-man | 139669 | ||
Thanks for your input..So soldiers and police are used for His Vengence and not ours until the appointed time. He can use anyone He chooses including president Bush and his soldiers; see Daniel 4:17 This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men. Isn't it fitting that this was spoken to Nebuchadnezzar ? Micah 5:15 And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such as they have not heard" but why does it say 2 Corinthians 10:3,4 " For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Luke 22:49-51 "...Lord shall we smite with the sword?...and cut off his ear..and Jesus ..touched his ear and healed him. And Acts 5:39 say "if it be of God you cannot overthrow it...you might even be fighting against God.." and Rev 13:10 says " he that killeth with the sword must be killed by the sword. Here is the patience of the saints." Rev 19:11-21 Says "that HE doth judge and make war..His name is called The Word of God..out of His mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations..come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; that ye may eat the flesh of kings...the flesh of all men ...both small and great..the remnant were slain with the sword of Him..which sword preceeded out of His mouth.." Eph 6:10-18 "..be strong..put on the whole armor of God..helmet of salvation...shield of faith..sword of the Spirit.." and John 18:36..if my Kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight.." Which, by the way, is why they crucified Him, they thought he was going to overthrow the government right then, not at a future date. Nebuchadnezzar The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769. |

Hello He-man, You asked: “…why does it say 2 Corinthians 10:3,4”: ------------------------------------------------- " For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) ------------------------------------------------- This scripture is discussing “spiritual” war. God is spirit and so is Satan. Satan is more afraid of a righteous persons’ prayer than the US military: ------------------------------------------------- James 5:16 Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. ----------------------------------------- By prayer we ask God to fight for us. A praying, righteous soldier does not depend on his gun. He depends on God to give him the victory. You quoted: -------------------------------------------------- Luke 22:49-51 "...Lord shall we smite with the sword?...and cut off his ear..and Jesus ..touched his ear and healed him. -------------------------------------------------- Jesus also said here that they that live by the sword shall die by the sword. Jesus told them that He could easily have called down legions of angels to stop His arrest, but He was about to be crucified and it was time. The anti-Christ agenda was being used by the Chief Priests in an effort to destroy Christ. Satan was behind their plans. You quoted: -------------------------------------------- Eph 6:10-18 "..be strong..put on the whole armor of God..helmet of salvation...shield of faith..sword of the Spirit.." -------------------------------------------- Again, this is speaking of “spiritual” armor for spiritual warfare. The anti-Christ agenda is being used by Islamic terrorists today in an effort to destroy Christianity and the Jews. Satan is behind their plans. The good vs. evil battle is more specifically Christ vs. anti-Christ (Rev 12). Here is another scripture: -------------------------------------------- 2 Chronicles 20:15 And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's. -------------------------------------------- Pastor Glenn |
