My reference is from this verse...
Genesis 37:9-10
"And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me. And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his...
Ephesians6:17
"And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God."
What is here twisted my friend?
You are ignoring circumstences in OT , and you are consistent on verses of the OT,anything that is in the NT - you are ignoring it.And i give you a little...
Wrong, genuine 'wheat' Christians are politically neutral as Jesus was. The fake 'weed/tares' go to war.
They are the ones who use the pulpit as a recruiting station so parents will sacrifice their sons on the Altar of War.
False clergy teach the Altar of War is the same as the Altar of God...
So, when the Bible says that the Israelites went into a battle against the Philistines, or when they attacked the various cities in Canaan, that was all metaphorical?
These metaphorical ideas are found in all the Holy books.
Here are some.
Ephesians6:17 "Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God".
Isaiah 11:4 "But with righteousness He will judge the poor, And decide with fairness for the afflicted of the earth...
Of course God's Word is 'God in an ontological sense'! God's Word is SPIRlT.

John 1:14. 'And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the the...
Israel is not the suffering servant because Israel is a nation and why would a nation metaphorically be born? What are the four Servant Songs in Isaiah? | GotQuestions.org
That verse means the word was work Jesus, not God the Father or Holy Spirit.
Jesus, with the term thou, was referred to as a true God in that context.
Jesus and the Bible both being called the word of God doesn't mean that Jesus being called the word of God was a self contradiction. How can...
Wow! Something to talk about.......... thank you for such a detailed post.
Yep. I think so as well. Most authors that have read think the G-John was written circa 100-110AD, which would have given the Disciple John an extremely long life for a Galilean Boatman of those times.
But I...
You are welcome to have your say.
Im going to be tactless but thats just me.
There are at least 40,000 sects, all figuring they are the true
Christians. You might look up True Scottsman fallacy.

Please forgive me for jumping in here...
I would like to know who, exactly, are you calling ‘Christian’?
If you mean Rome, or any of its off-shoots, it may behoove one to read the bible to see for themselves exactly what a christian is.
I could buy a castle, move in, and call myself royalty...
You have to learn to tell the difference in time. That's part of maturing in Christ. As you are new to being a Christian I would suggest you focus on the "milk of the Word" for now. That is get a solid foundation in the Bible and that way you'll be ready for "solid food". According to Heb. 5:14...
I'm aware that the KJV uses old English terms, but I don't see this as a problem.
I'd like to address the passage you printed in blue.
Was Jesus 'the Christ', the anointed One, from the moment of birth? We agree that he was not. So, in all the passages quoted from John's Gospel there is no...
All men, all angels, good or evil, all creation in Heaven and earth, and Godhead - Father, Son and Holy Ghost/Spirit are in the Bible.
So, yes, you, I and Trump are in the Bible, but Trump is not a fulfillment of Revelation 6:4.

These are scriptural principles, as military terminology is liberally dispersed throughout the bible, and almost all subsequent writings, for over 2000 years.

John 1 (KJV)
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
If you read Genesis 1 you see God spoke everything into being and...
It's not my answer that accounts, but what is given in the Bible/scriptures that does count.
Ephesians6:17--"And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God"
Therefore the sword that Christ Jesus spoken about is the word of God.
Take the sword of the Spirit (EPHESIANS6:17)
Take no anxious thought of defence (MATTHEW 10:19; MARK 13:9-11; LUKE 12:11-12; LUKE 21:14)

Thou shalt not kill (MATTHEW 5:21; MATTHEW 19:18; MARK 10:19; LUKE 18:20; ROMANS 13:9)
