Ahhh fruit inspector on aisle 1600. I think we may have some rotten fruit.
Actually Christians are to be at war at all times, just not the carnal kind.
Problem with most Christians is they forget to insert the MOST important part of prayer.
IF THIS BE YOUR WILL LORD.
Absolutely.

Again, I said nothing about Christians and war. Nothing at all.
I don't think this is the end-all-be-all answer -- in fact, I'd say it's only one part (or one of many perhaps). But one thing I think that has really broken apart Christian teaching is political correctness. Because of it, many people aren't comfortable standing up for Christian truth because it might offend or hurt someone's feelings.
So many thanks have been put on the back-burner; abortion, homosexuality, birth control, co-habitation, divorce, and most importantly, religion itself.
Because of it, we've become so preoccupied with being "nice" rather than being obedient.
It's just a thought.

Really?
Mike, I suggest that you do a little more study my brother.
While Jesus is the “prince of peace” (Isaiah 9:6), He was not, and is not, a pacifist.
Revelation 19:15, speaking of Jesus, declares, "Out of His mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. He will rule them with an iron scepter. He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty."
Ecclesiastes 3:1, 3, & 8 say, “There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heaven…a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build…a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.”
Daniel 9:26 says that “war will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed.”
Matthew 24:6-8 says, “You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains.”
Remember that it was Jesus who made a whip and overturned the tables and ran the people out of the Temple.
Amen!
Churches all over this land are more preoccupied with makeing sure their congregations are happy that the Word of God has been ignored.
Preachers have stopped preaching on sin and repentance!
Homosexuality is now called GAY because of political correctness!
Killing babies is now call a "woman choice".
Living in sin is now called a ROOM MATE.
A drunk is now called Social INdulgence.
God loves the sinner, but He hates SIN!
Again......Jesus was not a pacifist!!!!!
Mike......who do you think that it was that lead Gideion, and Moses and Joshua into battle after battle.
Who do you think it was that let go of the waters of the Red Sea killing all of the Pharoes army?
Who do you think it was that made sure the rock that David threw at Goliah hit the right spot.
Who do you think the MAN was that came to Joshua with His sword drawn before the battle of Jereicho?
Who do you think is riding on the white horse of Rev. 19 who comes to make war and put an end to sin?
Study Mike, study my brother so that you can rightly divide the Word of God.

Of course I then have to ask you WHY you are writing posts that require a responce to them?
Every time someone calls Jesus as absolute pacifist, the first thing that comes to mind is Jesus driving out people from the temple.. But for me, the names Jesus used to call Pharisees come to mind.. Some one has made a nice little collection
1. Ye blind guides (Matt. 23:16).
2. Ye fools (Matt. 23:17).
3. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees…for ye are like whited supulchres…full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness (Matt. 23:27).
4. Ye serpents (Matt. 23:33).
5. Ye generation of vipers (Matt. 23:33).
6. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! (Luke 11:44).
7. Ye are as graves which appear not (Luke 11:44).
Imagine pharisees coming up to Jesus and trying to act polite and asking a trick question.. Jesus responds by calling them "hypocrites".

This has been going on way before the PC of the 1950s.
Paul was the first to challenge The King on divorce. Placing his personal opinion into his letters and thereby causing an exploit that many still use today.
But never once struck them.
That was not his job at the time. But while we are HERE, we are charged by The King to fight only wars of the spirit, not the flesh.
Wars of the flesh are symbols of still drinking old wine.
Depends on the church.

No it was called sodomy. Until people couldn't understand what that word was due to improper use of it.
Infanticide has been carried out by almost every culture whether in the womb or out of it.
Nothing new here.
And not a single person harmed that day physically.
Wasn't time yet for him to get into a brawl.

They could have had bruises. The Bible isn't very detailed about what Jesus did. Maybe He knocked them out with a punch to the jaw and drug them out. We don't know.
