He is a Righteous Judge. And if you feel that he is your Lord and Savior, you must be one of his pawn. You will be fighting on his side at Armageddon. And so will all true christians. | ||||||

Dear JdthCstl, Greetings in the name of Jesus! I KNOW He is my Lord and Savior! But I don't think that Jesus considers me a 'pawn.' (frankly, that is the first time I have heard this term used for Christians) Pawn- 1) one of the chessmen of least value... 2) one that can be used to further the purposes of another. Merriam-Webster. It seems to me that the Lord considers each and every one of us to be of great value, and we are not chosen simply to further His divine purposes. We are His wormanship, each a masterpiece in His perfect creation, the apple of His eye! Though we are but rubbish, He has caused each of us to be a valuable member of His holy church. Hardly 'pawns.' Fighting at Armageddon? I am battling NOW! But in the end, our foe will be vanquished with a single word, a breath from His mighty mouth. I don't know if there is really anything but 'Christians' in God's sight. In any case, man on earth has no way to measure 'true' or 'false' Christians except to judge by outward appearance. We do not know the heart, but our Lord does! If WE try to measure, David and Moses and just about everybody (including ourselves!) would belong in hell. "For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you." Matthew 7:2 NASB. (Jesus is still not my 'executioner!') Blessings and peace in Christ Jesus, charis |
