[@rickygreene6354]

Stay safe

[@kirkboswell2575]

​@havable - You are misreading those passages. They have nothing to do with abortion. They are about adultery and jealousy. If the husband suspects his wife and is jealous, he makes a sin offering and presents his wife to the priest. The priest then tests the wife. If she is innocent, nothing bad happens. If she has committed adultery, she is immediately struck with illness and bowel problems and infections of the groin region. No man will go near her again, and she will have to live on the fringes of camp. The man's jealousy (a sin) is covered, and the innocent wife is rewarded with a child (highly desirable among that culture).

[@laserus3333]

We are exactly on the same page brother. Allowing the defenseless in front of us to be harmed is unfathomable.

[@havable]

Does that mean you're going to stop picking on those least able to defend themselves? Gay and trans? Or does that notion only apply to people you approve of? They are after all the most vulnerable. More murders of trans in the US than of anyone else and yet they're less than 1% of the population. That's pretty damn vulnerable. So is it "the defenseless" you want to protect or is it just whoever you like that doesn't have good defenses? Because when I was in the Army I didn't get to pick and choose whether to protect the hate-filled racists along with the people who aren't horrible.

[@timothyrepp4259]

⁠@@eggsbacon1538Is this a debate tactic you use often? To completely distort what someone has said. I think you need to look up the definition of the word discern. It’s the complete opposite of blindly believing something or someone. All throughout the Bible God talks about discernment. You would know this if you were reading your Bible and putting your faith in God and his word. You would know it’s why God created you with a brain. To discern truth even a child can understand. He didn’t create you as a mindless machine to be programmed by any man. It is you who blindly follows the commands of a fallible and sinful man without any discernment. We are all fallible and sinful including your pope and Mary. Again you would know this by simply believing the Bible. How many gay pride flags does your pope have to mock your intelligence with? How much theft and violence with his support of socialist and communist ideologies?What about during the inquisition? Was the Catholic Church correct in their interpretation of God’s will then? Were people allowed to discern for themselves that what the church was doing was wrong? If the church was wrong then could it be wrong today? Make no mistake. When you face God you will be held accountable for your actions and inactions. You won’t be able to blame the pope. God gave you a brain capable of discernment and expects you to use it. He didn’t create you as some dog who obeys its master without any moral culpability. Especially when he plainly tells you in his book call no man master except the only one who can forgive sins Jesus Christ.

Princes, though ever so liberal and bountiful, as their name signifies, and therefore called benefactors, ( Luke 22:25 ) or ever so mighty and powerful, wise and prudent, yet are not to be depended upon; they are changeable, fickle, and inconstant; and oftentimes not faithful to their word, but fallacious and deceitful; "men of high degree are a lie" Read your King James Bible correctly and stop looking for faults.

@@mikedavis4851 God wins! Armageddon, it won't be much of a fight because Jesus annihilates Satan's forces with the word of His mouth (2 Thessalonians 2:8; Revelation 19:21). After his defeat at Armageddon, Satan will be bound for a thousand years. After that, he must be set free for a short time (Revelation 20:3). There is then one final judgment of all those who have rejected Christ (Revelation 20:11-15). In one sense, Satan is already defeated. Jesus won the victory over him through the cross and resurrection (Colossians 2:15). It is now possible to defeat Satan every day in our own lives. The Holy Spirit empowers God's children to say "No" to Satan's agenda and walk in the Spirit, living a life pleasing to God (Ephesians 5:18; Galatians 5:16, 25). The ultimate defeat of Satan is yet to come, when he will be condemned to the lake of fire forever, unable to propagate his evil ever again. Though Satan still reigns as the god of this world (2 Corinthians 4:4), Christians can live in light of the truth that he is a defeated foe. Some day in the future . . . a day no one knows . . . God will end the Church age which began in the first century on Pentecost with an event known as the Rapture. At that time, God removes all believers in Christ from the earth in preparation for His final judgments. After Christ has defeated all the armies gathered in the valley of Armageddon, He will reign with His saints for one thousand years and fully restore Israel to her land. At the end of a thousand years, a final judgment of the nations and all remaining mankind will occur, which is then followed by an eternal state: either spent with God or separated from Him (Revelation 20-21). The above events are not speculations or possibilities . . . they are what will take place in the future. Just as all the Bible's prophecies of Christ's first coming came true, so will all the Bible's prophecies of His second coming. For those who know Jesus and have trusted Him as their Lord and Savior, His coming will be their blessed hope. But for those who have rejected Christ, He will be their holy terror. The bottom line is this: to survive the end of times, make sure you are a believer in Christ.

@hotrodprepper656 It is biblically acceptable to defend yourself or anyone, for that matter, from harm. War is a good example of kill or be killed. In the intertestamental period, the Macabees fought for their survival. Jesus recognized the Macabee's efforts as he attended the celebration of their victory by attending the feast of hanukkah. Murder is sin. The bible does NOT say don't take a life unless you are able to create life. Don't take your own life! Ask Jesus for His forgiveness of your sins and to be your Lord, God, and Savior.

I pray every day for God’s protection with Psalm 91. These days seem like the most cruel i have ever experienced on Earth, the lost seem even more lost than ever. I don’t want to harm anyone but there seems to be violence everywhere and I have become hypervigilant. God bless you all good people of Christ, may God’s protection surround you all. Amen.

Defend your family. Defend your family like a Lion protects its pride or like a mama bear would protect her cub. The democrats want you disarmed and helpless while the police are defunded and restricted from helping you while armed gangs of teen thugs roam looking for victims while the liberal media runs cover for them.

I would recommend an old roman gladius, I've had one for atleast over 10 years and spilled no blood but my own by mistake, trying to swing the sword around in my youth and almost lost an eye. I've leared to respect such an item, and it has been more of a shield than anything in most ways. And it helped greatly to stop a break in one time, though again no blood was spilled, just the sword worked to ward off his spirit which must have had some illness. Well I can say they work greatly for self defense, just one cannot underestimate its ability or lose any awareness once in hand. Great video sir, Godbless

This is something I've been asking, are we allowed to at least defend ourselves, it doesn't make sense to let someone kill you or murder you or your family, I can't believe God would want us to just let evil people just kill us along with our families children included I know there are many that would do anything to keep their children from harm.

[@hawk7466]

Read His Word more and be spiritually minded. This world is not ours.

[@nicechock]

Of course you are allowed. Its more evil to let someone kill your family and kids than to defend them. The person who fails to protect fails his duty as a Father. King David killed the giant Goliath and cut his head off. And God helped him to kill him?

I've said that all along about that passage of Luke 22:36. Lord Jesus knew trouble was coming that night and his apostles would be in danger. They needed to show a few swords to scare off the mob that wanted to take them. So he meant for the apostles to use them in a defensive way but not an offensive way. I'm so glad a preacher like you finally brought that up.

Now..THIS is an interesting subject to talk about. My mom once gave me a book called "When is it right to fight?" And I can't remember the author but it also dealt with this. Been a while so ut's nice to be reminded of it. I stumbled across the channel, I suppose because I'm always trying to learn more about the word cuz it's SO fscinating the more you do, so I'm curious to see more of your view points. I'm ALWAYS up for fresh info from my brothers and sisters in Christ. Therein lies TRUE wisdom and it's just something you have to experience to understand. That wisdom is God given and we wouldn't even REALIZE if He handn't allowed us to know and that, my friends, is a BEAUTIFUL thing! It's not about religion or ritual. It's about REALIZING that Jesus is a REAL, LIVING PERSON that's ALWAYS there - just like another fleshly person. He's just on a much higher frequency so He's outside of our PHYSICAL visual spectrum which we only see about 6% of. Dogs and cats see infrared and ultraviolet respectively and are known to see..."things". Just because we only see 6% doesn't mean the other 94 don't exist! 99.99% of the atom is NOT empty space!! There's "fabric" there and a whole other world going on all around us and most don't even know it! This is scientifically sound and I've love to hear an athiest dispute that. All science does is reinforces what YOU AND I already know - that there's DEFINITELY an architect and I'm forever thankful that He's a good one! There's a certain beauty and elogance that come ONLY from God. No matter how hard we try, we'll never come close. A waterfall, a rainbow..a flower. From the largest galaxies to the smallest sub-atomic particles, His presence is there. His fingerprint and, there is no denying it! Amazing!

Micheal Pearl's videos have been such a blessing to me

[@JoyPeace-ej2uv]

36 “Now, however,” He told them, “the one with a purse should take it, and likewise a bag; and the one without a sword should sell his cloak and buy one. 37 For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in Me: ‘And He was numbered with the transgressors.’c For what is written about Me is reaching its fulfillment.” 38 So they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” “That is enough,” He answered. And when Peter used one to cut off the servant's ear Jesus stopped him, rebuked him and put the ear back on. The point was made when He was counted among transgressors because they had a sword.

[@hillbillyheadcam1729]

Thats not true because one would not be considered a transgressor for carrying a sword back then, there were no laws against it. Obviously He was counted a transgressor because He was crucified. Crucifixion was a manner of death reserved for only the worst of criminals.

[@hawk7466]

Amen. Too many people misuse this passage to justify using weapons and claiming vengeance against thy enemy... even though scripture is clear that vengeance is The LORD's...

[@TheAgentAssassin]

[@brad3741]

​​@@hawk7466Would you call on armed police if you saw a group of guys with guns breaking into your home? Would you call on armed police if you were in public witnessing a mass shooting taking place? Most people would, because most are not comfortable or capable of defending themselves. Weather we individually use weapons to defend ourselves, or call on someone else to so. Don't most societies rely on armed force for protection?

[@notashamed7563]

I believe it’s helpful to read the Bible in context, and this passage is a case in point. Verse 37 helps explain why “he was numbered among transgressors”. Only soldiers and criminals had swords, Jesus wasn’t attempting to build an army but “he must be numbered among transgressors”. Even in the garden He prevented Peter from using it to kill, and healed the servant’s ear. I do believe in Biblical non resistance, I was trained as a UDT/SEAL and believe me if there’s a commandment from Jesus to arm myself I’d want to hear it but I’m not going to pretend it’s saying something it isn’t. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty for the pulling down of strongholds. Come Lord Jesus!

[@danpatch4751]

quick reminder that jesus was both teaching to us AND the people of old, that being said most of them were illiterate and likely only took words as said. that and verses can have multiple meanings that dont cancel each other out EX: "sell your cloak and buy one(sword{weapon})" or "sell your cloak and buy one(sword of the spirit)" both meanings are correct.

[@pless.]

You are beyond an amazing man. I not only thought what you said was wise, but guided by The Spirit during this. I’ve been avoiding getting a weapon, though when I lived in the city a man bigger than me tried to rob me and the without the words the Lord put in my mouth, I would’ve been jumped. Instead he walked the opposite way he approached me as I told him to find Peace in Christ. And recently with the potential bombings on the Canada border, massive wildfires, and especially attacks on the Holy Land, I’ve felt the need to be prepared to fight alongside Christ more and more each week. Thank you sir, and I will be looking into your book on faith as well, as it was a struggle of mine and I don’t wanna fall back into that unfaithful life.
