Sometimes there's a time and place for that sword. When he lopped that ear off would have been a good time for example, but Jesus told him that the plan was otherwise..
Nothing wrong with dying by the sword. Quite honorable in many societies. I'll take Valhall over Cancer anyday.
I remember when I was a child a painting that depicted Christians in the Roman coliseum being surrounded by lions, and they were just praying... it always struck me as odd. That they didn't even try to physically resist. A lifetime of Sunday school and church didn't clarify it.
In the last few years I understood.. there just isn't any situation where they will take up arms to defend their OWN nation.. they just pray harder...
I've had many conversations with them about this...
Their problem is they see a contradiction when in fact there is none. God exhibits righteous anger throughout the Bible. He's also all loving and merciful. We should be like him and apply discernment and wisdom to every situation.
Shills? No, we're just Christians who have rejected the (((judeo))) part. Christianity isn't the weak cowardly churchianity that's currently being pushed. That's a corruption of the God's commandments and logic, of Jesus' teachings.
Any conspiracy theorist worth his salt will realize the jewish subversion of Christianity and White lands. The most vociferously anti-Christian people on earth are jews, and have been since Jesus' time. Christianity progressed throughout the White world largely through warfare and conquest.
Most people, even Christians, seem to forget that we have more than the Bible to learn what God's laws are. Logic/truth itself was formed and dictated by God. When you position yourself against logic/truth, you position yourself against God, which will result in failure, harm, and/or death. The Bible, and Jesus himself, often said, explicitly and implicitly, that God/Jesus are truth, and that their primary opponent, Satan, is the antithesis of truth (i.e. lies). Jesus called the Pharisees sons of the devil, who is the father of lies, and they do as their father.
Thus, it's up to us, as Christians, to determine what truth/logic is, and act in accordance with it. Logically, humans are sexually dimorphic. Logically, men fulfill the role of protector and provider, not just for their wife and children, but for every community they're a part of, including nation/people. Men are hardwired, physically, mentally, and philosophically, to be capable of inflicting great violence to protect what they love, what is good, what is truthful. If men don't protect these things, they're not men, and becoming undeserving of them, as they'll be killed, raped, and stolen away. No good man would allow such things to happen while he has the power to stop it.
Just as God can pass down righteous judgment and violence upon those that have transgressed against his laws, so too can man, who understanding of God's laws, can pass down similar righteous judgment and violence. Anyone saying that we're incapable of understanding God's laws is a fool or a liar. It's obvious to anyone with eyes to see and a brain to think.
Anyone advocating for perpetual peace, for the sake of peace, will eventually be destroyed by evil people. Such people will attempt to build, to multiply, but all of it will be taken from them. Their kingdom can't last, because they've rejected God and his laws. God doesn't ask us to lay down and let evil destroy everything we love, everything good, and blaspheme all truth. That's the wish of satan.
If you continue to advocate for perpetually peaceful Christianity, you're a fool, you're weak, and you deserve nothing, because you fight for nothing.
No, you're just quote mining and misinterpreting things out of context. I can show you places in the Scripture where God seemingly contradicts Himself, which is impossible.
Does that make the Bible incorrect, or does that mean there is such a thing as context and tradition of correct interpretation within the Church of Christ, where the Holy Spirit resides and gives discernment to the Church fathers?
Do you know the difference between killing and murder?
The Bible disproves you:
"Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves." - Matthew 10:16
"Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword." - Matthew 26:52

Dude, Christians literally fought crusades, what are you on about... We have warrior Saints too.
I'd love to meet them.. its so frustrating...
Hey, if you are so willing to end up in Hell... go ahead.
Do you see anyone stopping you?
If punching someone lands you in hell, it's gonna be crowded..
You talk about a sword, and now you downplay it as "punching"...
Do you really think people reading the comments are as stupid as you?
Anyway, it is clear that you don't want to make a rational argument, but do whatever it takes to make the other argument seem absurd... Shill 100%.
There is a block function I use in this case. Your greatest achievement is that you wasted 3 minutes of my life. Congrats.
Weird, as Jesus also told us to sell our cloaks to buy a sword.

Oh, I see.
I write under this post and all the shills are all over me... Good to know.
Where is your proof of your imaginary claim? I am waiting.

So much useless talk...
So you have 0 evidence of your previous claim - "Jesus also told us to sell our cloaks to buy a sword".
You say "us, as Christians" - yet, you lie about Christianity. You are a fake Christian at most, and a shill at least.
"Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.”" - Matthew 15:14
And btw Jesus gave us the sword of Truth. Not any imaginary thing that you are using to incite violence among Christians.
"you're a fool, you're weak, and you deserve nothing" - All your insults show me that you are a violent and unbalanced person.
You need help.
