First of all I do not have a blog about the war , so you must be thinking of someone else.
Secondly I never said I was a prophet. I said God spoke to me about what he wanted me to know through the holy spirit. I am just passing on what I know. There is a difference between prophesy and knowledge you know.
Prophesy : To speak about future events.
Knowledge : What one knows through study, revelation , or experience.
Thirdly If I have read the bible once I have read it at least a 1000 times. Been at it at least 30 plus years.
But since mellow brew, you seem to have some bible knowledge as well. let me put the following things out for your consideration. Because unlike your first post, your second shows some reason.
When jesus died on the cross we became
new covenant Christians. The new Covenant of Christ is much different than the
old testament covenant.
The old testament battles and any authority for war ended with Christ. This will be easy to prove to yourself. Let me suggest a way to do that.
Go to walmart or some cheap store and buy a cheap copy of the KJVersion of the bible. Start by praying before each bible reading and asking God to remove any false teachings of men from your mind and heart. Ask God to send the holy Spirit to teach you truth and open your understanding of the scriptures. God will do this for you if your persistent and really want to know him and the truth.
Then take two different colored high lighters and start reading the New testament. Each time you find a verse where Christ or the Apostles taught Peace, love for all, and not to resist evil high light it in one color.
When you find a verse where they even got angry, or talked about violence high light it in another color.
You should be able to read the New testament in about a week, a month at worst. If you do that praying each time you read, you'll learn truth s you never knew and will read it again and again and again all the while God will teach you new truth. After your done go back and look at the colored marks. You'll find very little that speak of anger or violence. Because jesus was not called the Prince Of Peace for nothing.
Jesus is the prince of Peace.
Jesus said Resist not evil, turn the other cheek , forgive 7 x 70 , vengeance belongs to God , God will repay, love your enemies, feed and clothe your enemies.
And Jesus said he who lives by the sword will die by the sword.
Ask any preacher and he will tell you we are under a new covnenant,the covenant of Jesus which is all Peace and Love for the followers of Christ.
Then you can always tell the ones who are deceived by Satan and doing his work unawares because they will say, oh but its okay to have this war because the old testament is full of them. That is not right. We are under Jesus's covenant and not the old. Ask them so your under both covenants? No, they will say, I am under the new. Then ask them where the new says they can wage war and kill people? They will sputter and go back to the old. So then ask, do you still have animal sacrifices and public circumcision ceremonies too? Do you keep the Sat sabbath? Do you rub blood over your door each passover? They will hedge and say no we are under the new covenant of Christ. Thats how you know a deceived person when you meet them. Wars are old covenant.
Christs teachings have nothing to do with wars for those who truly follow Christ. There is no teaching of war under Jesus. New covenant Christians are to follow Christs commands.
Not until his second coming which is told of in
revelation . Then it is Jesus who will return with armies of angels to fight the battles.
Not, we his followers. Jesus is going to fight the battle when he returns.
Vengeance belongs to God, he will repay.
At any rate. There is no way to justify a
pre -emptive war for a christian in the bible. You can make a argument that if somebody was standing front of you trying to kill you God would say its okay to kill them first.
But there is no teaching of Jesus that justifies attacking a country half a world away that was not attacking us. And killing thousands of innocent
children with bombs.
But its not the soldiers who are at fault for that. It is the men who sent them there. And those who support them. Your right mellow brew God knows the heart and actions of each of us. We all will be judged for what we do and think.
I am not telling anybody what to
think, I know what I know because God has taught it to me. I am passing that knowledge on.
So, I hope we can have other productive discussions on the topic one day.Perhaps after I come back from vacation.
Blessings to you and yours this day mellow brew.
I may just find a few mellow brews myself while on vacation.
