Okay, can we get on with the guillotining and make with the beheading already? Seriously, I've seen enough tolerance from the Christian side of this to last me a while, so please count me in with the head chopper off'ers.

Saint....lets see if you can live up to 'love thy neighbour' in your ttally misunderstanding of the words when you are about to be sodomised or a family member is being hacked to pieces...

but then again, being the coward are, you will just cower under the table and 'pray'
Originally posted by soldier_of_the_lord
and do NOTHIG as usual like so many other spineless indivisduals who try to make out that Gods word is weak and pacifist just so you can carry on being a coward....

Yeah it's great! The investment in Heaven has eternal return! You can't beat the medical since there's no sickness and disease, I don't care who your insurance provider is.

I've said it before, I'll say it again. I don't want to associate with Christians while I live, I certainly don't want to when I die.
I'll take a burning lake of fire over the bloody prattling on of self righteous fools any day of the week.

Turning the other cheek is forcing your opponent off balance and open.
This is actually a martial arts tenant.

Or you could fight on your own terms, ignoring God and assuming Him too weak to help you through your plight, and wind up dead, trying to explain to Christ why you had more confidence and faith in yourself than in Him.

Considering you study kung fu saint...isnt this hypocritical of you to tell me and others that fighting is wrong and to turn the other cheek even in SELF DEFENCE?....If you really believe that what are you doing kung fu for? Unless you are just havin a laugh with me. KUNG Fu is a SELF DEFENCE...so how can you come here and preach we are to never use force to defend ourself or loved ones?

Soldier, prayer is the most powerful weapon we have as Christians! Just to give y'all a little metaphoric example:
You're getting mugged. You have on your person a gun and a phone. You could take the gun and attack, possibly making it through the mugging, possibly getting shot yourself. However, instead you could use your phone to call in an air strike without the mugger even knowing he's about to be blown to smithereens by something far more powerful than he is.
Obviously, the air strike would be praying to God. We worship an infinite, all knowing, all seeing God who can do anything. Jesus said ask and it shall be given, and that we should have faith to move a mountain. If we have that kind of faith, all of our prayers will be in line with the Father's will, and therefore He would answer all of them, including when you're cowering under a table and praying for survival. Suddenly pop, all them military types' hearts explode, the guilotine falls to dust, and you're free to go. Or you could fight on your own terms, ignoring God and assuming Him too weak to help you through your plight, and wind up dead, trying to explain to Christ why you had more confidence and faith in yourself than in Him.

The situation you present, however, is vastly different than being mugged. You present a situation in which you cannot win. How can one individual, on his merits alone (no "cowering and praying" as you put it) take on the entire United States military? If what you claim is true, and there are Guillotines, and you fight against the military trying to remove your head, you will die. You may take a few people down with you before you die, but you lose in the end, no matter what. We have here a closed system which consists of you battling an entire nation's military, so you don't stand a chance. However, if we open the system and allow God in, through prayer, He can do anything. He created the universe, for golly's sake! Jesus Christ, in that situation, is your only hope. So to defend yourself in this situation by your own merrits alone, you are rejecting your only hope and trying to do it yourself. That's when you lose. Every time.

Jake i never said 'alone' i could do it...obviously by the power of God could i indeed take on the whole world if Gods spirit is empowering me as can any person alive if they are Christian. Evidence of VASTLY being outnumbered is throughout the whole old testament and Gods soldiers became victorious by faith.
