More Christians ready to turn the other cheek ... and die.
We fight not against flesh and blood.
If you try to save your life, you will lose it.
A Christians reward is not in this life, but the next.
I am of a mind to fight Islam, yet I found this video to be very convicting. God loves insane Muslims too, He is no respecter of persons.
There is a time to fight and a time for peace, a time to live and a time to die.
A Christian should want for Christ to be seen in his life and actions, yet, Jesus showed that braiding a whip and overturning tables in righteous anger is not sinful.
I pray the Lord to guide me as needed.
“A Christians reward is not in this life, but the next.”
G_D: “So you lost your life to a mulsim fanatic whom you refused to defend yourself against?”
You: “Yes, because I know my reward is in Heaven”
G_D: “Fools do not get a reward. Go back and try again.”
Yo: “But I was a good Christian!”
G_D: “A good Christian perhaps, but a fool you were.”
when I hear all this turn the other cheek verbiage I think of how Japan murdered most of its Christian converts at the beginning of the 20th century and there is only vestigial Christianity left in Japan,
If you let them kill you then your philosophy dies out.
My point exactly ... However China is bright spot, according to some reports ... in 10 years China will be the largest Christian country; in 30 years, China will have more Christians then the rest of the world combined.
Not that I would ever remotely compare my self to giants such as Paul or any of the disciples, yet, they were martyred, killed. They did NOT defend themselves, except to hold fast to Christ.
Was the conversation you placed in G_ds mouth what they heard?
Funny how you only addressed one of the things I said. There IS a time to fight, there is also a time not to. Again I say, I pray that the Lord would guide me in that.
