but why did they hide

didnt they trust god?

god would protect them no?

god told them to hide?

but he didnt necessarily tell them to hide

not to hide tho

cuz if they did trust god they would have handed themselves over to the authorities and waited for him to save them

aight then god didnt tell me not to protect myself did he?

protecting one self doesnt mean that im going to kill them

exactly they couldn't have fought back

wtf by ur logic then we shouldnt do any work and just trust god would feed us

that makes no sense

aight so ur saying we should drop all weapons for self Defense and powerlessly let people infront of u get raped murdered and much more

im saying if u have the power to defend someone then do it

that doesnt mean that im not going to do something about it

i know that god would want me to protect the people that i love

and i trust that he will aid me

aight man u really on sum next pacifist shit

ur actin like u wouldnt off someone if they raped a loved one of urs

infront of u too

how u goin do that

u cant always do it without hurting them

ye this guys tellin me that u shouldnt defend ur self

and let god just do it

theres situations where u have to hurt them

if someones wayy taller than u and much stronger and rapin someone u know tell me how u goin help

u dont got a phone

without a weapon ur ded

here

proof

Prior to His crucifixion, Jesus revealed to His disciples the future hostility they would face and encouraged them to sell their outer garments in order to buy a sword (Luke 22:36-38; cf. 2 Corinthians 11:26-27). Here the “sword” (Greek: maxairan) is a dagger or short sword that belonged to the Jewish traveler’s equipment as protection against robbers and wild animals. A plain reading of the passage indicates that Jesus approved of self-defense.

what more do u need

i trust that god will help me defend myself in a bad situation

read the proof that i sent u

lmao their are alot of christians on discord

god supports self defense

aight

if ur seein someone getting raped or having something wrong done to them i feel it is ur duty to protect them

and if u have to off the man u must do so

well we dont know these people

neither can we verify it

i think of it like this; god helps u solve those problems by giving u the strength

so if i aint good enough to solve something its my fault that i didnt put in enough effort

what are yall views on the crusades?

in a military perspective the first and second crusades were beautiful

well if u look at it retaliation was needed at that point cuz sum of the rulers in the areas were forcefully converting christians and making it hard for other religions to exist in the area

so i feel that the crusades were at the time a good thought

but didnt go as well with some of the massacres starting during the crusades

Spiritualy?

ye

well tbh u can twist the words into anything u want

thats why people taking advantage of them can do it so easily

ima look into it and maybe refute that

but rn i gotta study for my bio test

ye i agree

“But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into (Luke 12:39). ” @Cothelas Decaeneus

exactly u retaliate

with self defense

“When the strong man, fully armed, guards his courtyard, his property is undisturbed (11:21).”

here more

“When the strong man, fully armed, guards his courtyard, his property is undisturbed (11:21).”

well the parable can also be taken in another way

thats the beauty of a parable

it can be interpreted in many diff ways

ur way is diff then my way

yeah lmao gotta go

thanks for reminding me

thank you

i trust in god and will defend my self

2 pack combo

i am giving whole

i trust in God that my bullet goes through the rapists head

?

ah shi

fixed it

lmao nah i aint doin that much work

but still i trust that God will give me power to defend my self

i dont really think God cares if his name is capitalized or nah

im not saying always pull out a gun when in a bad situation

it should be a last resort

bruh i aint going to hell cuz i didnt capitalize God

besides the bible was acc written in latin

and apparently they had really bad grammar too

so....

still i dont think god goin nitpick that much

lmao u pay attention to every lil detail

tru

man i dont get it why cant mans just defend themselves when ur or a loved one is getting raped

if god really protected everyone there wouldnt be any rapes

or murders

idk maybe god wants our lazy asses to acc do sum

same with working

bruh are u on the right path
