Should they sharpen sword

[Ritajanice]

@Jay Ross ...I’m not going to add any more fuel to the fire.

You are entitled to your own opinion....I stand by my opinion......with respect, I usually have you on ignore, as I find you extremely argumentative and a last word person....you will go on and on until the cows come home....you remind me of how I used to be....LOL.

Good day, God Bless and enjoy the rest of your day..

That is why after @Jay Ross 's first post to MD that I suggested @My Dreams "turn the other cheek." But instead MD responded to him as usual.

There have been a few times that My Dreams told me that Satan had entered my heart. That is a terrible thing to say to another born again Christian. But I never responded to that false accusation....I turned the other cheek as the Lord taught us to do.

@Wrangler

You and Jay Ross, know very well that I donot agree , than why you both keep taking my name and keep saying things which I donot agree.

After you shared something i said satan had entered your heart, I think you should share, what you shared and in reply I said satan have entered your heart. I think you should share why i said so.

 

[My Dreams]

Ok Sis...I’m not getting into this.

God has been showing me that the “ self” will rise up, because of pride and ego.

You obviously stayed in the Spirit, when you were addressed with what was spoken to you...

Just remember that we are all at different places of growth.......enjoy the rest of your day...I hope to get out into the garden today....

@My Dreams ..how is your Father?...praying for you all as a family..

Yes. Thank you! He is well you can say but God is taking care.
yes thank you!

 

[Ritajanice]

Thanks for sharing, I am not good in sharing so I always prefer to be in prayer section.
I always expect meaningful, lovely talk or discussions I should say.

yes, thank you for praying, it's a blessing. yes leaving own house fellowship and staying in another rented place is sad thi ng to happen.
He is weak and have health issues due to his age .
Yes I am his only son i had an elder bro. What died at 19yrs , after struggling for 4-5 years. due to malaria or witchcraft , he became mad , he was undergoing treatment at a mental hospital but one day they called and said he was dead. They killed and took away his vital organs

So sorry to hear this my friend...I can’t imagine the stress that you must be under , especially as an only Son, I know a lot falls onto your shoulders.

Praying for you Brother, that the Lord keeps you strong .....praying also for your beloved Father , Mother , Wife and Children..

If you ever need to talk, you know that I am a pm away....as for the one who is upsetting you, do what I do and put them on ignore......you don’t need to engage yourself in this constant unedifying/ unfruitful back and forth arguing....God Bless, enjoy the rest of your day...

 

[My Dreams]

The above is the first time I suggested to MD to turn the other cheek. But he didn't follow that advice so the argument continued.

I am really confused if one person takes my name and write something should I reply or not.

Brother, I’ve just had an accusation made against me.....imo we don’t need to defend ourselves as the Spirit will do that for us....we don’t need to argue and argue trying to get our point across, especially when either one are listening, does that make sense?

Leave them to God, the same applies to us...God will deal with us also.

I want you to stay in Gods peace, I don’t want the enemy robbing you of your peace, you’re going through enough as it is..imo....when we keep arguing, and let’s face it a lot of us keep doing that , continually going over the same old argumentative ground. ...what purpose does it serve, it just robs us of our peace...plus when we start getting personal with one another....it can then spiral as you well know...plus it’s not of the Spirit...it’s Of the self.

@My Dreams This is meant to be helpful advice....I hope you will take it as such. (This is how we all grow as Christians, willing to listen.) But have you considered "turning the other cheek" as Jesus taught us to do? Just ignore things, forgive. 1 Corinthians 13 says "love takes no offense."

If we want to be spiritually healthy, we must learn to apply God's Word to our lives. That is the only way to grow spiritually.

@Nancy @Ritajanice Including you gals since you often pray for MD.

@My Dreams Have you considered turning the other cheek concerning @Jay Ross ? Forgive what you consider to be a personal offense?

@Ritajanice @Nancy Including you gals since you pray for MD.

Please read my posts in the quotes above. Do you know what "turning the other cheek" means? It means to forgive and let things go....don't keep arguing about things.

I can remove the tag.

 

[Ritajanice]

I can remove the tag.

I’m done, this is going nowhere...bye, enjoy the rest of everyone’s day, I won’t be replying to any more posts that are addressed to me.

I prefer watching that dog shelter and cat shelter videos that you post...x

Lot of responsibility is on me.

That's true

@My Dreams I hope you read my quotes in post #87. You said you were confused so I answered you.

 

[Ritajanice]

3 It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife, but every fool will be quarreling. 3 Avoiding a fight is a mark of honor; only fools insist on quarreling. 3 It's a mark of good character to avert quarrels, but fools love to pick fights.


Do you know I do believe that when we can walk away from an argument, it’s really empowering......you just know that God is well pleased with us....that’s my main aim is to please God.....instead of pleasing this darn “ self” of pride and ego.......I’ve had to come to understand what pride and ego even were/ mean........that still at times wants to rise up, ....we are all forever growing and maturing in Christ....

 

[amigo de christo]

do you think Jesus would kill them?

No sir . He rather taught to forgive those who persecute you .
We can see lovely reminders of His own words
being fullfilled in quite a few maryters of even modern persecution .
When even lined up to be killed these christains prayed ONLY the forgiveness of their killers .
As did stephen himself when he cried LORD lay not this SIN to their charge .

 

[Bob Estey]

Unbelievers, have posted on social media to gather, attack Christians, with weapons kill everyone, assault woman children.

Should these believers sharpen sword and attack and kill these unbelievers if they attack. It's their own place village and houses but others with attack because they are believers.

Thank you!

I believe it's okay to defend ourselves and those we care about.

I just thought about the 9/11 plane that crashed in the countryside of Pennsylvania. The terrorists were planning to crash that plane in DC, but the male passengers fought them.

I just thought about the 9/11 plane that crashed in the countryside of Pennsylvania. The terrorists were planning to crash that plane in DC, but the male passengers fought them.

During the 9/11 event it was prophesied that only three foul frog like spirits would perform signs and wonders for all of the world to see, however, the dragon, the beast and the false prophet tried to send a fourth foul frog like spirit contrary to the prophecy. It is my view that God caused the people on board the fourth plane to grow a backbone and to rise up with power and overcome the terrorists even though they knew that the outcome would be death when the plane crashed. This situation was not premeditated like what is being suggested in this thread by the Christians sharping sticks with which to defend themselves against being persecuted.

Being prepared to die for what we believe in, whole heartedly, demonstrates God's great Glory in our respective lives.

Shalom
