Forced into peace?

People keep sharing that if Arabs put down their weapons they would have peace with Israel, but if Israel put down its weapons there would be no Israel.

How quickly people forget AD70.

Those who dropped their weapons and fled for the hills per Jesus' advice all lived, from the oldest to the youngest. These survivors all dropped their weapons. They did the opposite of what many Christians think people should do in that circumstance.

Those who didn't listen to Jesus' words, who behaved as many Christians think they should, who didn't trust His ways as the best ways, and didn't accept Him as the Messiah because He didn't conquer His enemies through war, ended up waging war and they picked up their swords and were all killed and thrown into Gehenna.

They say history repeats itself, let's hope it's not true. But if you live be the sword you will eventually die by the sword.

One person has to drop the sword first, because they want to not because they are forced to, for peace to occur.

About me

For those that don't know me, let me let you in on a little something about me. I am like a total goofball. I love joking around. I don't take life too serious. I have a weird sense of humor. I'm annoying. I don't let a good/bad disagreement get in the way of a bad/good friendship. I don't get mad at people over the internet. I don't really get mad at people in real life. I'm happy go lucky. You can find me either smiling, looking goofy (my normal look), or whistling at work (and if you work with me chances are you've made fun of me for it at least once) I don't expect people to believe everything I believe. I am passionate about my beliefs. I respect that you are passionate about yours. If you disagree with me or I disagree with you, I still love you irregardless. (don't you just love that word? the dictionary sure doesn't) It's hard to offend me to the point where I hold a grudge, usually I'm over things within a cou

Kiling makes you neither a hero or villian, it makes you a weapon of darkness.

The interesting thing is that very similar statements as in this article at Creation.com, http://creation.com/will-cornick-murders-teacher?utm_media=email&utm_source=infobytes&utm_content=us&utm_campaign=emails , were made by an American Sniper , and they seem to be perfectly fine and acceptable, and even "Christians" support them. Quite disturbing to witness recently if you ask me. Here are the statements and incident I am addressing: "The horrendous stabbing murder of an English high school teacher and the comments the perpetrator made afterwards are a potent reminder of the possible effects of evolutionary thinking on impression able minds. Some of the sickening comments the teenage student made after the killing included: “I wasn’t in shock, I was happy. I had a sense of pride. I still do. “I know it’s uncivilised but I know it’s incredibly instinctual and human. Past generations of life, killing is a route of survival. “It’s kill or be k

The world as a whole needs Real Jesus

The world as a whole, everyone in it, needs the Real Jesus, that I have to even say that means people haven't been listening. But, the world cannot know the Real Jesus until the church as a whole gets to know Him. That is the problem I am addressing in frustration with many of my posts. How can you send out missionaries to reach the world, or even your own backyard, for Jesus, when all the majority of American Christian™ churches do is teach people about the same false god those in the world, or in your own backyard, already worship only with a clever name change to "Jesus?" That makes no sense. So before people can meet the Real Jesus, the people tasked with sharing Him with the world need to know Him. That is simple logic. So people say how can you be so certain? How can you be so sanctimonious? Who are you to say who is following Jesus and who is not? What made you the unofficial spokesman for the Real Jesus? Keep your prattling on to yourself we don't want
