This comment that you made stood out to me like a sore thumb! Are you saying at the end, that it was okay that the European settlers came over to the Americas like they did? Agreeing with that are we?

Its hard to put yourself in the position of the original settlers hundreds of years ago brother Nick, do i understand their desire to escape religious persecution and found a new life for themselves, yes i surely do, but do i agree with the subsequent actions of others who came later and participated in the genocide of the Indigenous American Indian Indians to steal their land and resources, no , for how could that be "Loving your Neighbour as yourself" and "treating others as you'd like to be treated", as well as breaking the commandments on Murder and theft, but that is the history of most nations. The British Empire, which i believe was the biggest Empire the world has ever seen, built its power and wealth on Theft, Murder, Genocide, Oppression, Exploitation and Slavery, and in many cases did it with the Blessing of the Church and through their teachings, supposedly God himself. We are indeed a wretched and Sinful creation, and i often wonder why God has not just washed his hands of us many years ago and started again, his love is indeed great and his Mercy and grace last forever but his Judgement is just and also everlasting, and we need to remember that in all we say and do.

Sad to have to read your words brother Steve. For if one is truly to follow the Words of Christ, which you have stated the reasoning for doing so more than once, you would have had to do in this instance as you have previously shown you are doing now in this time and age. Which is irrespective of what is transpiring it isn't the results of said actions that move you to act but following the commands of Jesus.

The only answer you could have given and been true to what you have been stating all along in what you believe in, and that is to agree that it was justified because the results of said actions were not in your hands, but God's. Yours was just to follow the commands of Jesus. You should have answered as you have been doing, but you did not.

It is that inconsistency that is your downfall here in trying to argue that all you are doing is following the commands of Jesus, because I cannot believe it to now be true. If you keep protesting this, it shows you’re in a worse state than others here believed, because you’re not only lying to yourself but also using the teachings of Jesus to push a personal belief upon others as well.

Keep in mind I know why you posed it to our Sister in Christ this question, but you need to be able to answer it as well which has nothing to do with her!

Irrespective of the reasoning, how you answered it back to me (above) undermines any position you may tell yourself you have for what you do.

But as Christians, followers of Christ, we obey his teachings and commandments, we are commanded to "Love our neighbour as ourselves" and "Treat others as we'd want to be treated", regardless of race, religion, sex, or whatever, there is nothing in Christs teachings to imply that when he said "Welcome the Stranger" there was any requirement for that "Stranger" to follow the customs of the country they'd entered. With the coming of Christ there are no "chosen" people, as the Jews were in the OT, Christ says his followers will come from the North, the South, the East and the West to sit down in the Kingdom of Heaven", Luke 13:23-30, they will have different customs depending on where they come from but ALL will acknowledge Christ as their Lord and Saviour and ALL will have built their lives upon the solid rock of Christs teachings and commandments.

May Jesus fill us with his love and wisdom.

You're right the Jesus did say love your neighbor as yourself. But he also told people who wanted to join with the apostles, go home and bury your father. (Take care of what needs to be done first)( sell all you have) and there were a few others. And then there was the group that had followed Jesus for quite a while up until he blessed the bread and the wine saying this is my body and this is my blood and you must drink and eat of it to enter into eternal life. Like many of today's Protestant churches, those who were with Jesus could not accept that teaching. It isn't that they were bad people had nothing to do with that. It's that they were thinking in the same way that many hear things that it was a literal translation.

After spending weeks with Jesus maybe months, they did not understand the spiritual aspect of what Jesus was saying. To which Jesus responded to his apostles, are you going to leave me too.

Over the years I've gotten to understand that there is more ways to receive the body and the blood of Jesus than just in the wine and the bread. But it shouldn't stop people from still receiving blessed wine and bread. The main excuse is it's too much like the Catholics, when they don't think straight. Because this is something that Jesus has requested in the scripture aside from anything Catholic.

But the other way is that we receive Christ - is in Fellowship, it's in receiving the word, and it is when your heart is open to God.

In this world people are so caught up with the concepts of things being so physical or a literal in Scripture that they completely miss the point.

That you must receive Jesus, it's the bottom line

I really dont think most do not understand what times we are in so many talking church like its a building arguing what one can n can not do what one should n should not do so many trying to climb through windows and not being pointed to the door..

What really saddens me is that the Men of God in the USA is staying silent in the midst of this islam trying to take over n turning a blind eye to the fatherless they have broken the bond of brotherhood n dont even wanna try to repair for the most part..to many busy looking at what other men are doing instead of doing what we are called to do..

Guess thats why the Lord tells us Many are called few are chosen..

But it is written the harvest is large n the workers are few

Anywho

Hope all is well!
