Hi Al, and any others who might read this,
Long time lurker, grateful to all of you who have gotten me hooked on SWL! I
now use a DX 440 and a DX 375 as my travel radio- my wife can't understand
why...

But I digress...
Al-
"I'm listening to him now. His message is a bit different from what most
are used to hearing and most can't accept it. Of course, most will not
accept what Jesus Christ has to say either. Everyone seems to think of
Him as only LOVE. Can you see Him in the temple with His whip driving
out the money changers? . . . Telling His disciples, "If you don't have
a sword sell your coat and get one!" ? The "sword" of Christ's day was
the same as the falsely called "assault rifle" of today. It was as good
as anyone else had, including the government. "
PK Why then does the "beloved" apostle John quote Jesus as stating that the
mark of one of His disciples is love?(the "new commandment") Why does John
repeat that in 1 John? Why in the Old testament is it that God wants broken
and contrite hearts- not legalists, or avengers.
Are there standards for believers to live by- certainly, John 14:21 says
that obedience to these show the believers love for Jesus. We are also told
not to judge the world, because they are only acting like they ought to,
(1Cor).
He will return as Judge and King!!!
We trust not in chariots or horses (or guns, rifles, dehydrated food, gold,
etc.)but in the Name of the Lord our God!
Jesus also did not defend Himself at the cross but humbly died on our
behalf, forgiving as He was unjustly being executed, and on the way rebuked
Peter for using a sword.
He (Jesus, the Word) is the sword!!!
Don't fruit inspecting and let God judge those outside of Christ. Discern,
but live in God's kingdom, not here.
Jesus gave us two commandments and one commission- Love God above all- love
your neighbor as yourself- and Go make disciples of Christ, not any man or
teacher, regardless of who they are. If any reject you, for His sake, move
on, but do not hate- (sin yes, but not the sinner- that one was created in
His image as well, and Jesus' blood would pay for even the most vile- by our
standards- sin. To God, all sin is sin, and even one separates a person from
Him- unless that sin is washed away by Christ's redeeming work on the cross.

And... what does this have to do with SW radio?

Peace-

Pastor K
