. Do you consider yourself a Christian?

Actually, I think He does say we should love our enemies more than others because even the tax collectors love their own. I’m sure you have read what I am referring to. I think Jesus goes on to reason that there’s no gain in loving what you already love or something to that effect. Honestly...

Originally I asked if Christianity served to make the Devils/Satans strive to achieve dominion over earth easier. Since then I have become aware of passages where Jesus states that the Devil is in fact the God of this world and that there is no objectives for the Devil to actually strive for...

Explaining away Jesus’ words by jailing them is blasphemy is it not? He said you heard it said that you must love your neighbors and hate your enemies (YHWH) but I say you must love your enemies. (Jesus directly attacks YHWHs directive). I’d say Jesus is correct and this is a Christian group.

I appreciate your point of view. In all honesty I think it is clear that “turning the other cheek” is in fact Jesus’ prescribed response to an act of violence. Perhaps you are suggesting that the violence of slapping a man’s face is not to be equated with murdering one’s townsfolk?

:rolleyes: Exactly my question restated. As Christian’s, if it were our decision to make what would we be expected to do? Turn the other cheek? Love our enemy?

Thanks for you ideas. Now let us remember that Jesus was criticized for eating with tax collectors and mingling with sinners of all sorts. Jesus did say that the little ones will see the face of God. I have not found it in the scripture but I imagine that the most righteous will be allowed...

Evil is evil and good is good. Heaven being good excludes evil. The Devil was cast out of Heaven and down to earth. The Devil is the God of this world. Jesus purchased our souls away from the Devil no p I’m Excuse me? Ha! I see, right my phone died. I had not even completed the sentence...

It seems No, to me it has always been easily discerned. You see the disparity yourself don’t you? It seems clear as anything could ever be.

Yes, I hear you. See there, it’s exactly what I am saying. Dahmer gets saved and welcomed into Heaven. Now his victims get their tears and pain wiped away. So they both reach the same condition in Heaven. It almost seems like the evil sinners get a better deal. My inclination is to not be...

Perhaps you have a veil over your heart and mind?

I will admit that my original question was not well formed or asked. It’s a genuine concern and belongs in the conspiracy category. I will craft a more focused and potent question regarding the subject in a new topic.

Actually I think the premise and context is perfectly relevant. Lifelong criminals with countless victims are promissed to be forgiven if they merely genuinely repent, change their ways and accept Christ as a kind of second wind. What about the victims of these criminals?

Say tonight another nation bombs a major city of our nation murdering 35,000 civilians. What would you say the genuinely Christian response would be?
