Common story….Christ never condemns sodomite marriages

   Oh really? Let’s begin with the book of Matthew and see what Christ says about marriage.

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. {5:18} 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.”

   This means that the laws given to Moses in the five books to include the commandments remain in force until all is fulfilled and all has not been so…

  Going back through the laws, show these to your disbelieving friends who encourage homosexuals…

   Exodus 20:12…”Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.” Mother (female) Father (male) one man and one women in marriage (Genesis 2:23-24)

    Levticus 18:22…”Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it [is] abomination.”

    Leviticus 20:13…” If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.”

    Though today we don’t need to put homosexuals to death because of Romans 6:23 “The wages of sin IS death.” they are dead men and women walking apart and away from God in death with their sins. But the blood of Christ can redeem them to everlasting life. (Romans 6:23)

      So the law of condemnation for sin remains and the penalty for loving sin more than God IS (present/active) death.

Matthew 5:28…” But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.”

     Jesus affirms the wide nature of adultery and the wicked nature of pornography. Our society is drowning in pornography.

Matthew 5:32…” But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.”

     Once again Christ affirms marriage as one man to one woman and affirms God’s absolute hate of divorce, there is very little room for the divorce which man in his selfish stupidity has today. Divorce today has destroyed our society in the name of selfishness.

Matthew 15:4-6…”For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. {15:5} But ye say, Whosoever shall say to [his] father or [his] mother, [It is] a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; {15:6} And honour not his father or his mother, [he shall be free.] Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.”

Jesus affirms marriage as man/husband (Father) and Woman/Wife (Mother)

Matthew 19:9…”And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except [it be] for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery”

Jesus affirms again, one man and one woman. and affirms God’s hate of adultery and his laws against loose, selfish  and free divorce.

Next part: The book of Mark

The cause for all the gun violence and the rise in homicide in the US is simple...

1. Too many guns?....no....Not enough Christ.

2. Sin is killing more people than guns.

3. The zombie invasion is already here and America is full of walking dead ROMANS 6:23

4. The problem is not the guns, its men's hearts.

5. A change of government will change nothing....more Christ will change everything.

6. America has told God to go to hell and she has elected to receive his wrath.

7. If a fools says there is no God than America is one huge school of clowns and the graduation rates are high.

8. If God's not in the family, the nation will eventually fall.

9. Just what "god" would bless America today?

I'd say between what's happening in Syria and what's happening with our economy...I think we're out of time at this point. We have tomorrow which is the 6th of October 24 Tishri on the Jewish Calendar...the worst financial crashes in America have happened between 23rd and 26th of Tishri. We're in the wake of the Shemitah, there was a collapse of the markets as Johnathan Cahn wrote and we are coming close to the Jubilee and as we know well....every Jewish Jubilee since 1918 has been with war in the Middle East.

The Jews got their homeland back in 1918, their capital city of Jerusalem in 1967 and I think they will get back the temple mount this Jubilee, 2016-2017 and we are on the brink of all out war.

As Jeff Goldbloom said in Independence Day.....check mate.

If you have not accepted Christ....you should do it now, repent for your sins and hang on.

        This series is called “Christian Self Defense, the biblical justification for weapons and force.” Perhaps a timely review given the state of the United States, the world and the growing states of disorder. There is a clear justification given by God for the Christian to have defensive arms.

        Part one is the premise of pacifism and the classical view as to why the Christian has no right to self defense. We should give equal recognition to those who are in dissent. Prominently among Christians are the Amish and American Mennonites who are absolute pacifists.

        Then of course there are the false Christians like the Mormons and the Jehovah Witnesses and the complete cultists like the Buddhists who are also absolute pacifists.

       Now the absolute pacifists point to such passages as…

Exodus 20:13….”Thou shalt not kill.”

Romans 12:17-18…”Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. {12:18} If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.”

Romans 12:19-21…” Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but [rather] give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance [is] mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. {12:20} Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. {12:21} Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

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

     Now to be fair to the true Christians who refuse to have arms, stand against war and demand the end to weapons, nukes...God bless them, at least they are with the Lord in their honest truth, let us love them for their stand. Any Christian who does NOT want the end of war and the war industry on the planet is mad and any Christian who endorses the war industry in the name of say….the God blessed United States? I refuse to call them Christians. We will get more into God and national arms later in the series.

      With respect however to the absolute pacifist, I must find some disagreement with their belief that the Christian can not have arms, can not defend themselves and do not have the right to the use of deadly force. Both the old and the new testament gives more than enough justification, be that weighted by specific allowances, for the carry of arms.

      Let us go back to the most basic commandment given to us by God….”Thou SHALT not KILL.”

       Life is precious to God for we are made in his image and his likeness (Genesis 1: 27, 2:7) all through the old and new testament God proclaims his love for those who love him and love for the wicked; that they shall turn from their ways and come to him. The life of the family is equally as precious as the robber breaking through the window and how can we deny that God’s hope for the wicked would not continue to cry out to the last second?

        With life being so precious to God; was it any wonder that he never specified the exact weapon Cain used to murder Abel? Most of the time he is depicted as using a rock but the weapon doesn’t matter as much as the act. You also notice that God did not take Cain’s life but marked Cain to prevent reprisal killings. This speaks volumes as to how God views “Thou shalt not kill.”
 
       You SHALL not KILL the innocent life….but…. and… you SHALL not KILL in REPRISAL! Why do you think God said…”Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.”

     God has set up very strict and very exacting rules, laws and requirements as to whom can use weapons and deadly force and under what conditions and reprisal is not one of them.

     Note the video above. The man being led through the airport by police was arrested after taking a boy from California to Virginia and brutally raping him. His father shot the man in the head. Some may think the father was right but in the eyes of God? He is an unrepentant murderer who avenged himself in a selfish act of reprisal. As sick and grotesque as the man was, the father had no right to take the man’s life. The father has no authority granted him by God and we will go further into this later in the series.

      Part two next: The garden and two swords.

My name is Daniel Rush from Bremerton Washington, I am a Navy veteran of 20 years and a strong Christian who views the decline of America and the nature of events today with a strong biblical context. I believe Obama is conducting an illegal war in Syria, has conducted illegal war across the Middle East and serves "another master" if not "his father" who is "the god" of "this world."

The facts of America are simple...she is satanic, has defied God, is an abomination against the Lord and she is about to be taken out. I'm not in a place to claim her as the end times Babylon of Revelations but she can not continue as she is in absolute abomination and wickedness and survive. She can't survive economically, she can't survive militarily and she can not survive spiritually.

Looking forwards to speaking with other solid Christians and adding to the discussions.
