Aguine,
I pray we ride together with the army of Jesus our savior. In the final battle I hope to have a sword and kill those Jesus says too.
Bless you.

Isn't killing against one of the 10 commandments? Or does Jesus make an exception during the apocalypse?

@kentoo Said

I will reiterate.... Giving is not surrender. Giving up is surrender. There is a big difference between the last two sentences. One act is a result of defeat the other is an act of charity.

You won't be killing anyone if you follow Jesus. Jesus told Peter to put away his sword after Peter cut the right ear off of the high priests servant. All four Gospels record this incident and it is a message of peace.

Excellent!
We can't kill them, but we CAN chop off their ears!!!

And then everyone will laugh at them!

(you have to imagine me saying it like Mr Burns from The Simpsons)

@Paradigm10 Said

Luke is the only one who mentions that the wound was miraculously healed. Luke is a physician and so it's interesting that healing is mentioned by him.

The act of cutting off ears is symbolic. It means that they don't hear. Our Jesus picked up that ear and restored it. It's not just a physical healing but a spiritual healing as well.

@boxerdc Said

So.... You just couldn't hear it with Mr. Burns voice from the Simpsons?

Neither have to be from defeat. And I don't think I am twisting any meanings. I was using words that were there. I was simply stating them a different way.

But even still. If giving SOMETHING is not an act of surrendering something, what is it? Like, for instance, giving someone a gift for their birthday. Its not like you were planning on keeping it in the first place, so its not "giving up". But it is surrendering the item to that person's responsibility. You are trusting that they will use it wisely, and not break it anytime in the near future. Right? Surrendering is a very vague word, I know. It has as many meanings as that three letter word "bow". Some think its a part of a ship, some an action for accepting applause, some a little thing spiffy people clip to their suits.

"Surrendering" is a grey word. I know that many people have trouble with the idea that God wants us to completely surrender to Him, not as "defeat", but giving themselves up to him. Even though we aren't really ours in the first place to give up. I have a friend who recently found out that her life is not her own. She is all but owned by the state. She can't choose what she wants to do in the future. Someone will plan out everything she gets to do in life.

If there are any more questions, I love them, as always. May take a while to get back; hard to get at a computer over the weekend.

The dude is always making exceptions.. Back in the day he was a pretty cool guy, but now that he's like 2000 years old he's turned into a freakin republican.

@Johnny_shade Said

What about sexual healing? Or would he have to heal a chopped down tree to symbolize that?
