“Christians: ‘War & Capital
Punishment?’ – 101” …Blog.
**** (Exodus
20:13) You shall not kill.
*** (Genesis
9:6) Whoever sheds man's blood, his blood shall be shed by man; for He [God]
made man: in the image of God.
*** (Ecclesiastes
3:8) a time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
*** (Amos 4:10) I [God] have sent among you the
pestilence after the manner of Egypt: = your young men have I [God] slain with
the sword, = and have taken away your horses; and I [God] have made the stink
of your camps to come up unto your nostrils: yet have you NOT returned
[REPENTED] unto Me, says the LORD.
Recently someone asked me… “Should a Christian go to War?” May I do
one better, “Should a Christian be a Police Officer”…? [Romans 13:1-to-7] The real issue here is: “Killing Mankind” for
any reason, isn’t “IT”…? Perhaps first look at ‘Exodus 20:13’ and see what the Bible
text really says. The Bible has been translated into our English from: the OT
Hebrew & NT Greek. In the OT Hebrew, there are FIVE words for the English
word, ‘KILL’! Actually it is ‘Wrongly’ translated in many of the English
translations, ‘KILL!’ The Correct rendering should read: “You shall NOT ‘Murder’
the Innocent!” With that in mind & thought, does God permit, “Capital
Punishment”… “Yes or No?” Simply, if there are the “Innocent”; then there are ‘Also’
the: “Guilty!” [Genesis 9:6].
*** (John 12:48) He who ‘Rejects’ Me [Jesus]; and does
‘Not’ receive My Words; has One who judges him; the WORD -> that I have
spoken; the same shall ‘Judge’ him in the “Last Day”.
*** (1Peter 1:7) so that the genuineness of your faith;
which is more valuable than gold that perishes when it is tested by fire; may
result in praise, glory, and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
*** (Jeremiah 23:29) Is
not My Word like a fire? Says the LORD Jehovah; and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?
[Hebrews 4:11-12-13]
There are MANY here in America… that falsely claim they are ‘Christian’.
Furthermore, many say they know God: but purposely fail to recognize “Christ
Jesus as God!” Knowing about “God & the Bible”: does “NOT” mean that one:
has a real relationship with “HIM”…! Most of the world knows about America: but
Most: if they could, would seek for its ‘Destruction’. They falsely claim that
America has “Too Much”, when the rest of the world lives in Poverty! No one has
a relationship with God: Unless they have His Holy Spirit! [Romans 8:9]. The
“Finished Work of Redemption” by Christ Jesus is: “Offered to All”… but: “Rejected
by Most!” They purposely fail to Recognize Christ Jesus as the Passover Lamb of
God, the God Man: “Fully God & Fully Man!” To have a True Relationship with
God: one must have it: Only according to His Holy Word: Nothing More: Nothing
Less!
*** (John
7:38-29) The one who believes in Me [Jesus]: as the Scripture has said; will
have rivers of living water flowing from his heart."
(John 7:39) Now He [Jesus] said this about the [Holy] Spirit; whom those
who were believing in Him [Jesus] were to receive. For the [Holy] Spirit was
not yet present; because Jesus had not yet been glorified. [Romans 8:9]
*** (Titus 3:5) NOT by works of righteousness which we
have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of
regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,
*** (Romans 11:6) But if by grace, then it is no more of works; otherwise
grace is no more grace. But if it is
of works, then it is no more of grace; otherwise work is no more work.
“MANY”… miss that the Holy Spirit... “John
7:38-39”... and the Spiritual Baptism... “1Corinthians 12:13 & Ephesians
4:5”... is a “Divine Transaction”: Done by “GOD ALONE!” Did
‘You’ purposely miss.... “Acts
15:8-9”... where GOD sees
their “Hearts”... and HE ‘Only’... gives them: His Holy Spirit… “Ephesians
4:30 & Romans 8:9 & 2Corinthains 1:21-22”!

is ‘Salvation?’ – 101” …Blog.
… American’s buy Over FOUR $ Trillion
dollars… in Illegal
Drugs: Including MARIJUANA! American Mothers have MURDERED Over 55,000,000
Million “INNOCENT” Babies by Abortion. American is the World's Largest EXPORTER
of PORN & Abortion Technology! Americans ‘Produce & Export’ PORNOGRAPHY
to the Entire World…! Two states, Washington & Oregon: have Euthanasia, the
death of senior seniors amd the infirmed. Several states have enacted
legislation Permitting Marijuana: ‘Supposedly’ for medical reasons. But almost
“ANY” reason is good enough to get the medical exemption. Our once stable
country, based on “Judeo Christian Principles”: is being “Eroded by
Lawlessness!” How then can, “God continue to bless America”…? Sorry to tell
You: He will NOT…! Over Four Thousand “INNOCENT
UNBORN BABIES”, are Murdered by Abortion, “EACH DAY”…! And then You,
complain about the School Shootings…?

*** (Exodus 20:13) You shall NOT Murder
the INNOCENT!
*** (Genesis 4:10) And He [God] said, What
have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries to Me [God] from the
ground.
*** (Judges 21:25) In those days; there was no king in Israel. Every man did the right; in his
‘own’ eyes.
*** (Isaiah 5:20) Woe to those who call evil good and good
evil; who put darkness for light and light for darkness; who put bitter for
sweet and sweet for bitter!
…
*** (2Peter 3:15-16) And think of the long-suffering of our
Lord as salvation; as our beloved brother Paul also has written to you;
according to the wisdom given to him.
(2Pet 3:16)
as also in all his letters, = speaking in them of these things; = in which are
some things ‘hard’ to be understood, = which the ‘unlearned’ and ‘unstable’ =
“Pervert”; = as also they do the rest of the = “SCRIPTURES”; = to their own
destruction. [1Corinthains 16:22]
I am a Born Again Christian… and a
“Veteran!” What IF the
United States did NOT ‘Intervene’ in WW2…? Would be all be under “NAZI” rule
today? Remember if Europe had not had the USA help; they would have surely
captured the UK. Germany then, would have perfected their V2 ballistic missile
systems. Their ‘Heavy Water’ experiments led to the development of the Nuclear
weapons. Many of the WW2 German scientists; defected to the USA along with
their technologies. Sorry NO: I am “NOT”: approving any of the “Military
Conflicts” such as Viet Nam and the Middle East, Gulf Wars. When Politics over
ride sound military practices: then war fails to obtain the real purpose of its
“Moral Objectives: to ‘Vanquish’: their Evil Agendas!”
When “YOU” Keep Silent… about “Abortion”…
“YOU”… then become ‘Like Judas!’

‘You’ like Judas? – 101”…Blog.
Each person must before God & His
Holy Word… work out
their own understandings about these issues. To me, that “Simple Obedience” to
His Holy Word: must be done with: both the ‘Context & Godly Wisdom’: that
the Scriptures provide. Many people have “Conclusions & Reasoning’s”…
without a complete knowledge of the Scriptures! Furthermore, Many more have an
“Out of Text & Context” reasoning: based on “Religious or Denominational
Bias!” Did YOU pray about an answer from Scripture: and an Understanding in the
‘Fear of God’…? Perhaps more time is needed: before You draw any conclusion,
that You are ready to “Die For”…?

“Damnation”. [1Corinthains 16:22]
*** (Job 28:28) And to man He said, Behold, the fear of
the Lord; that is wisdom! And
to depart from evil is
understanding!
*** (Deuteronomy
5:29) O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear Me
[God]; and keep all My commandments always; that it might be well with them and
with their children forever!
*** (John 12:48) He who ‘Rejects’ Me [Jesus]; and does
‘Not’ receive My Words; has One who judges him; the WORD -> that I have

*** (James 1:5-to-8) Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he
should ask God, who gives to everyone generously without a rebuke, and it will
be given to him.
(Jas 1:6) But
he must ask in faith, without any doubts, for the one who has doubts is like a
wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.
(Jas 1:7) Such
a person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
(Jas 1:8) He
is a double-minded man, unstable in all he undertakes.
*** (Proverbs 4:7) Wisdom is the main thing; get wisdom; and with all your getting get
understanding.

‘NOT’: –> Prepare his Heart; to seek the LORD.

to seek the Law of the LORD Jehovah; –> and to do it; –> and to teach statutes and judgments: in Israel.
