Pro-War Bible Thumpers, Can you take this?

Question

Matthew 5:17: Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed [the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Answer 1

Good point. I'm not a "pro war bible thumper" though it makes me want to ask people of any and all religions why is it ever ok to kill someone who isn't trying to kill you? Why?

Answer 2

The book of Matthew was written to prove from the Jewish Scriptures that Jesus fulfilled the requirements of messiahship. are you asking do Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:17-19 tell Christians they must keep the seventh-day Sabbath? Some people believe these verses make Sabbath-keeping binding on Christians. Others conclude the Sabbath is not in view in this passage. We see right away that Jesus did not mention the Sabbath or the Ten Commandments in these verses. To read Jesus’ statement as having these laws specifically in mind is to bring in ideas that were not stated by Jesus.there are certain phrases in this text that need further study: Jesus’ assertion that he did not come to abolish the Law; that he came to fulfill it; that not the smallest part of the Law would disappear till everything was accomplished; that whoever broke the commandments he was speaking about or taught others to break them would be of little reputation in the kingdom. What do all these things mean in terms of the Sabbath? By looking closely at the key phrases in this Scripture, we will learn some surprising things.we see that Jesus spoke of "the Law and the Prophets" as not being abolished.The "Law and the Prophets" was a regular expression Jews of Jesus’ day used to refer to the entire Old Testament. (See Matthew 7:12; 22:40; Acts 24:14; 28:23; Romans 3:21.) The Old Testament comprises the Holy Scriptures or the sacred writings of the Jewish faith. It was through these writings that Jews thought they could understand the will of God and have eternal life (John 5:39, 45).What Jesus said, then, was the Old Testament as a body of "God-breathed" literature would not be set aside or abolished. His concern was not specifically the Sabbath or the Ten Commandments. It was the entire Old Testament.Jesus also said he came not to abolish the Law or the Prophets, that is, the Holy Scriptures, but to "fulfill them".The Greek word for "fulfill" is plerosai.the meaning of this word is difficult to express in English,Jesus came to accomplish or obey the Holy Scriptures,
to bring out the full meaning of the Holy Scriptures,
to bring those Scriptures to their intended completion,
to emphasize that the Scriptures point to him as Messiah and are fulfilled in his salvation work.

Answer 3

More wars were started in the name of this and that false religion that begun for anything else. Did you know that a lot of human ancestors way back there were cannibals? They carried axes and cut up their enemies and stored the pieces in jars with water. The rites of Baugh-ghan-ghad This is the flesh of my body, eat ye of it in remembranfe of me and of, drink ye of it (bl00d) in remembrance of me and of..The rites of Baugh ghan ghad was a cannibal ceremony but it is a religious rite today and takes place among many nice people who havent the foggiest idea what they are doing when they eat and drink the wafer and wine... Both lines of thought are open to you..Pick and choose carefully. You dont have to accept all offered. Discriminate all you want to. Study and find out.

Answer 4

If you like to lick the feet of terrorists who promote fear, feel free to blast anyone of war.

If my house was "under attack" by someone who hated me, you can bet your last dollar I will fight back. No negotations will solve that.

Throw this in for kicks on your argument, if you can fully understand what Jesus meant:
"I did not come to bring peace but a sword."

He left as the Lamb of God. He's coming back as the Lion of Judah.

Answer 5

My righteousness does exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees, because it is not of my own making. My righteousness is from Jesus Christ. On my own I could never make it. I rely on Christ and I am safe.
