While I know it is possible to stop someone from doing violence to another through means other than deadly force, because I had a job that required me to do such, I do not see where one can fulfill this scripture and use deadly force on someone at the same time.
For my belief I have now been labeled as "too spiritual" and "worse than an infidel". Since I do not particularly like to be victimized, I am doing the non-violent thing  , and simply not posting here further. You folks that can figure out how to blow some robbers brains out and love him at the same time can have at it. I will do my best to live my convictions, and should I fail in the time of testing, I have an advocate with the Father. |
st matt, i would like to applaud you for your spirit, there have been many that have posted on this thread that have a different opinion than mine, but they have been rude, crude and ugly at times , the bottom line is there spirit overrides any truth they may have presented, on the other hand your spirit honors the truth you present, god bless you and keep you my brother, dt
