“Exactly. Jesus said, “Occupy until I come”. “ Occupy” is war terminology.”
People think we Christians are supposed to pray and wait until the enemy destroys us. We;re not p*ssies. People forget Jesus beat the shiite out of the vendors who turned his dad’s house into a local Tijuana.
Glad to hear you declaring that. I’m tired of Christians not fighting back. We can’t afford that kind of pacifism anymore. Our freedom to practice our faith is at stake. We have to be Salt or we will be wiped out by decay.
I read where he overturned tables, but I don’t read where he actually struck any person. What verse is that? And what bible are you using?
And how exactly do you determine that occupy is warlike, from the context?
Luke 19
11 ¶ And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
The “occupation” here was clearly in regards to the pounds, not to any enemy at that point in the parable: they were to do work with the investment.
