One thing I do know is that Christians, at least the ones that believe in Luke 22:36, would resort to violence only in self-defense.
I don’t believe a thing they say.
“One thing I do know is that Christians, at least the ones that believe in Luke 22:36, would resort to violence only in self-defense.”
If the quotes from their website are real, they have their theology all wrong. The injunction to Christians is to accept the persecution of the anti-Christ and go willingly with their tormentors, even to death. It’s a hard teaching and these guys don’t get it (if this website is real and this isn’t the start of a Reichstag Fire). Revelation is not a call to arms against the anti-Christ. It is the story of how God, not us, will end the reign of terror and remake Heaven and Earth. That’s a bit above our pay-grade.
It’ll suck to be the anti-Christ.
A main difference between Islam and Christianity is that the martyr in Christianity is killed without killing. Stephen, the first martyr is the perfect example of this. A true Christian knows that God is in control and that it is AN HONOR to die for the cause of Christ. To live is Christ TO DIE is GAIN.
