Originally posted by knightmeisterI am not taking any sides here, but what you just said here is so true of many. Including people who claim to be christians.
If you had taken the trouble to read the verse in the full context of it's true meaning you would know that it alludes to Jesus's second coming and his judgement at the end of time rather than literal violence. He is also speaking within the parable itself in the role of the king (ie in the 3rd person) so it is not meant to be a literal command.
You entalists. You seem to have an agenda and you will edit and quote to make it fit your agenda.
People use Gods word, the bible to fit THEIR agenda and not Gods.
Alot of so called christians use the bible to run around and judge others who harm no one, On the streets, in the work place, Their own family members, Their neighbors, etc etc. They use the bible to spread nothing but hatred that comes out of their own hearts.
What a sad day on judgement day for these folks.
" I say MANY will say in that day LORD' LORD' did we not do all these great things in Your name??? And Jesus will tell them plainly, I never knew you. Get away from ME you who don't love God or your brother.
And they all thought they had their get out of hell free card. But God is not playing any games with our souls.
