Quote by priincess i dont hate the world but i
hate evrything earthly. 1 John 2:16 For everything in the world-the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes
and the boasting of what he has and does-comes not from the Father but from the world.
note for today ^^ 2 Peter1:16 We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and coming of
our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
Then you must hate your parents and do according to God's will.
I came to turn 'a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a
daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. Matthew 10:35
A person's enemies will be the members of his own family. Matthew
10:36
This was geared towards the verse after it, "(37)He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me:
and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me."
This is telling people that they must love God before all others, even their own family. Also, it probably means that
unbelieving family members may become their enemies in a sense... because of their persecution of the believer in the
family.
Quote: And you must be prepared to shed blood in the name of God.
"Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace
but a sword! Matthew 10:34
That was in reference to the verses before it, "(32)Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I
confess also before my Father which is in heaven. (33)But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny
before my Father which is in heaven."
Jesus said that in reference to God's judgement of the unbelievers. It is not us humans that will bring about
judgement, but God Himself... according to that passage.
Quote: Then he said to them, "But now whoever has a wallet must take
it along, and his traveling bag, too. And the one who has no sword must sell his coat and buy one." Luke 22:36
That isn't very...Well it contradicts all the things you preached.
This passage was in reference to when Jesus was going to be crucified that day and the disciples wanted to take arms
(swords) and not allow the soldiers to take Jesus away to be killed... and Jesus was telling them that they
shouldn't do that and not be tempted to do so.
Not to be rude... its just... if you read the verses before that... you'd know that you are taking them WAY out of
context (in my opinion). :sweat: I think you might want to read the verses before and after the ones you quoted before
coming to judgement. <_<
^^ Its just my opinion... I just wanted to see if my explainations might help clarify this. ^^
Also, according to what you stated from the Bible... to me it looks like God would rather someone be honest in their
unbelief if they choose to be that way. >_>
