2 | Do you understand me? | Deut 7:2 | charis | 24564 | ||
Johnny, I can't help but notice that you are not answering any of my questions to you, while demanding that I answer every one of your questions and debate every one of your assertions. My last post made some points that I would ask YOU to refute. I understand your aggressively pacifist stance. :-) Do you understand MY points at all? In Christ Jesus, charis |

3 | Do you understand me? | Deut 7:2 | jlpangilinan | 24565 | ||
I decided not to continue, at least in this topic. Exchange of note is not that friendly anymore (in my own manisfestation) You post: Like do you grasp my word, do you hear that, Do you understand that! I am not participated in this forum to lose friends, as I mentioned what prove that I want for every reason is supported by passages. I am not hurt when someone call me arrogant(maybe offended if consider that if somebody that call u that is a fellow Christian) or whatsoever, but here in our place, you cannot say that in any moslims that they are arrogant and live long. That is why I'm embrace Christianity than Moslims. My mother was a moslim before and I am very thankful to my Dad that He converted my mom to a Christian believed. I am not saying that moslim (Islam) religion is wrong but I think it is not the right religion for me. I admit that maybe sometimes or many times I offended people elsewhere maybe here in this forum, that could be unintentional, and I am sorry for that. I love peace, war is too wide in our country, in Mindanao somebody would know that, and I dont like that. I dont like to be anger to anyone, not just because I am scared, NO, but I know it is not right. If I could not talk in this forum in a friendly manner,I understand that members of this forum is love Christianity. How could I love my enemies? How could I pray for them? How could I bless them? I really understand what do you mean, I am just looking if you can support your argument with passages, that only thing that I like, no nothing else. If you cannot so what? Are things changes because of that. My stand really if somebody has His reasons, supported it with passages. I think there is no wrong with that. See you in another topic. God bless, Johnny |

Dear Johnny, You have asked me for Scripture that speaks of the need to punish evildoers. I have stated often that it is common sense and submission to authority that speaks to us. These have been posted several times, and our colleague 'stjones' (aka Indiana Jones, aka yet-another-Steve) wrote of Romans 13:3-5 on November 22nd. Actually, the context, Romans 13:1-7 gives a broader picture. It is not a question of whether we, as Christians, should take vengeance and kill other people or not. No one, that I know of, is arguing FOR this. The question is whether God punishes evildoers through His agents, the earthly authorities He has set in place. Discipline and order are common sense, clearly spoken of in the Book of Proverbs. They are not the Law, or Old Testament only, they are the wisdom of God for all generations. "The king's favor is toward a servant who acts wisely, But his anger is toward him who acts shamefully." Proverbs 14:35 NASB Also, we find Jesus speaking about the wrath of a master toward an evil servant in Matthew 24:45-51. In any case, it is obvious that God requires us to be good and responsible citizens. Some may even serve in the military without becoming bloodthirsty warmongers. It is possible to 'serve the king' of your land without becoming evil, because God has given the king of a land authority to punish evildoers. I pray this is 'another topic.' In Christ Jesus, charis |
