Do you consider yourself a"child of God," a "peacemaker"?

Question

Matthew
5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Peace and Love

Answer 1

Yes, I do. I have been called upon to mediate between people in crisis.

I think the most important peace we can help to create is between ourselves and God. That is the primary work of Jesus.

Once that has been accomplished, I believe the peace Jesus called us to make is peace between mankind and God. That is our primary goal as peacemakers.

But I do believe that helping people come to peaceful terms with each other is important work.

Answer 2

None..
why on earth u go war if u r a peacemaker.. and occupy other country.

If u a child of God, then who the Mother of God, baby of God, Teen of God.. hmm the list go on and on..

Answer 3

what the gospel actually means is not to go around asking people not to fight and interfereing into other's fights. we should do that of course as much as we can. but a true peacemaker is one who does not have ego and who always has a peace of mind. he avoids even the fights that come to him and leaves everything for god to take care of. everyone is a child of god. but they forget it and go about doing what they wish and forgetting god. but we should not be like that. we must be peaceful and try to avoid the fight of others as much as we can and be good.

Answer 4

Indeed, as are all who choose to let the soul flow through them, unimpeded by thoughts or words of criticism or destructiveness. I strive for harmlessness in thought and deed and haven't perfected it yet but every day brings us closer.

Answer 5

Yes. But I'm not sure how I'd handle the "World Islam" thing if shooting started and Christians were dying.

Answer 6

Love, joy and peace to you.
