lucefarian. all of this is just the most recent battles in a very old war. a war that's going to be settled in a very similar manner to WW2. but when? no man knows the day or the hour. but God is pretty clear that you don't want to be caught resting on your laurels when that day comes. and were rapidly reaching a point where a horoshima/Nagasaki will be required.
Every man has to die, so if I among the first to get killed I don't mind, I won't have to live in a post apocalyptic world
jesus told us to trade in our cloaks and buy a sword. and I believe he said that for times such as these. but what you do with that sword is important. I believe those tools are important to have to defend oneself and ones family. so you have a chance when literally backed into a corner. the problem with offensive violence is what the bible says about judgement. "judge not lest ye be judged". the act of taking another mans life is an act of judgement. but if someone poses an immediate threat to you and yours, there is no judgement necessary. either you react or you die. i'm usually all for proactive action, but in violence. it think the only way to come out ahead and not face judgement is to be reactive. a dead man has no use for a sword.
