My spouse and I KNEW from the beginning that this entire pandemic was a ruse to enact another agenda. Not that COVID19 isn’t real, but that it is not anywhere as dangerous and deadly as we have been led to believe and is being used as a power grab. Anyone I mentioned this to told us we were crazy. Dangerous. Stupid. As the months have gone by, the truth of that knowledge has proven over and over. The deception, lies and fear all carry the stench of demonic activity. So-called “Christian” friends and churches have been caught up; terrified to leave their homes or to gather; begging the question, where the heck is the FAITH in the sovereign GOD of the bible that they all proclaim to have? No where to be found. John MacArthur had been a gale force of FAITH blowing through the so-called American “church’. We have been listening to his sermons for several years, and find his candor, boldness and willingness to speak unvarnished TRUTH a much needed example in a wilderness of garbled, intelligible “Christian” teaching called the American Entertainment, opps, I meant Church, system. This man speaks TRUTH to power. Wish to God we had more pastors like him. The weakness and fear of Christ’s ‘church’ had been a sickening thing to watch. No wonder so many hate Christians – self-righteous hypocrites, most are indistinguishable from everyone else.
I am completely new to this website, brought here by revelation from the Holy Spirit last night that the United States is the Babylon of Revelation and that time is growing short. I want to understand what this means for myself and my family. I have studied and prayed about this seeming paradox of ‘good guy with a gun’ in considerable depth. I have a gun and know how to use it. However, as a Christian, I think of Paul and his submission to his ‘enemies”, and how God used that submission and the subsequent imprisonments to convert jailers and inmates alike. I think about Jesus’ call to ‘do good to those who hate you’ as a reason to give great pause as to whether I ever could, in obedience to my Lord and Savior, use a gun to injure or kill another human being. I considered the story of a young Christian girl, in the midst of an attempted rape, praying to Jesus aloud for her rapist’ forgiveness and conversion, only to have him suddenly stop his attack and flee. Who knows if he did not convert that very day? The biblical command “do not kill” contained no caveats. The Old Testament covenant is no more; God is not ordering His prophets or kings to slay entire cultures and empires; we live under the New Covenant of Jesus’ sacrifice and as such, the Bible is complete. I often wonder why Jesus instructed his disciples to take a sword with them as they set out on the great commission, I have never received a satisfactory answer. In any case, there are no stories of the disciples ever committing acts of violence on any persons, despite continuing persecution. They always depended on God for their protection, as should we. My conclusion is that should the occassion arise and the decision must be made; kill or be killed; that decision is not mine to make. God is sovereign, and if it is HIS will that I should die at the hands of violence, so be it. He has numbered my days. “Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him”. Only this much do I know; I know nothing at all outside of the grace of my God to grant me wisdom and reveal truth to me.
