Now remember, that we as Christians should not avange outselves, but rather allow God to avange us. Remember that God FORBIDS us to avange ourselves. However, it is perfectly LEGAL for God to avage others. (Romans 12:19-20). If you read this scripture, the scripture says that not only are we forbidden to avange ourselves, but also we must feed the enemy if he is hungry. In other words, we must show LOVE to our enemy (INCLUDING IRAQ AND AFGANASTAN).

Rom. 1 good example of this. There are many places in the O.T. that says if you do this you shall surely put to death.

Remember, that since God is a creator, it's perfectly ok for God to kill or destroy. Since we did not create our others, it is wrong for us to destroy.

If you made a wooden car, then you have the right to destroy it. If you create a wooden car, I DO NOT have the right to destroy it.

We find places in the NT, where God forbids violence. Violence is war.

Is it any wonder you are confused my friend. I see now where you are getting all your doctrine from, maybe you don't, but fellowship with those with doctrines completely contrary to one another is confusion, and God is most certainly not the author of it.

Actually, I try to have friends from every denomination.

Let me ask for anyone who is an OT supporter. Is it right to dance or have more than one wife?

But someone prepared a very large glass cup, more like a huge thing, and put the grape juice there in; the cup had a large stem on the bottom for holding.
Homemade unleavened individual oval shapped bread pieces were made, and each person took their piece of bread and dipped it into the cup as it was being passed around by one person who was holding the large glass cup.
Because it was done in such a good manner, it was a great experience.
I marveled at the simplicity of it all and it was good in my opinion.

We used that as an alternative to drinking from the community chalice in the Episcopal church I went to, years ago. They would hand out a piece of unleavened bread, and when the priest came by, we'd hold out our bread, he'd take it and dunk it in the wine (real fermented alcoholic wine) and then place it on our tongue. They called it taking communion by 'intinction'.

I don't do that anymore, I'm a Bible-believing Baptist.

That sounds like a catholic mass, where they used the Eucharist, the belief that the consecrated wafer and wine are miraculously changed into the actual body and blood of Jesus in a process they call transubstantiation.

1413. By the consecration the transubstantiation of the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ is brought about. Under the consecrated species of bread and wine Christ himself, living and glorious, is present in a true, real, and substantial manner: his Body and his Blood, with his soul and his divinity [cf. Council of Trent: DS 1640; 1651.].--" Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC); (C) 1994/1997 United States Catholic Conference, Inc.

The Episcopal church in America is the sister church of the Anglican church in England.

We were never taught that the bread became the actual body of Christ, but neither were we taught that we needed to be born again. I was a casual 'attendant' of the Episcopal church for years, and thought that I had to be more 'good' than 'bad' to go to Heaven.

How many others have gone to Hell that way?

I have said, that if you read a few verses before and after, then you will see the context of this passage.

The contexts, is this: that if a person believes in Christ, then there would be a war between the family. (Matthew 10:32-36)

You know, I disagree with many doctrines of different denominations. The reason that I have friends from different denominations, is to see if I understand the Bible correctly.

Like the Catolics, call some of their leaders "Father." I read the Bible, talked with Catolics, and talked with other denominations. My conclusion, is that it's wrong to call any man "father" (Matthew 23:9)

I've talked with Pentacostal, and some of them play with snakes in the chuch. I asked them why they do so, and they said Mark 16:18. I talked with other denomination and other denomination says Matthew 4:7. So My opinion, is that it's wrong to play with snakes in a church.

If I would be a Catolics, and would not communicate with other denominations, I would think that it's ok to call a church leader "father".
If I would be a Pentacostal, and would not communicate with other denominations, I would think that it's ok to play with snakes in a church.
If I would be a Baptist, and would not communicate with other denominations, I would think that it's sin as much as possible after being saved
If I would be a Charismatic, and would not communicate with other denominations, I would think that it's ok to dance in a church

The reason that I communicate with other denomination, is so that I would know that I understand the Bible fully. By the way, I'm non-denominational.

Ohh, so you are saying that killing people as much as possible is aproved by God?

This is a spiritual war, not a physical war. I agree with you that it's ok to have spiritual wars in NT.

The reason that I know it's a spiritual war, is because it says in heaven

Well, I'm not going to argue about wine or grape juice because the only thing that the NT specifies is " fruit of the vineyard". Fruit of the vineyard can be both grape juice, or wine. However, i'll say this, that when Jesus had communion with his disciples, he used wine. (The reason is because the Jews used wine when celebrating the passover.)

Also, I was listening to a testimony of a Christian, who was from the former Soviet Union. That Christian was placed in jail just because he was Christian. He said that in jail, he wanted to have a communion, but the only thing that he had was water. So he prayed with other Christian prisoners, and that water became wine. So they were able to have communion.

You know, I was listening to a testimony of a Christian, who was from the former Soviet Union. That Christian says that he was arrested at a church service when there was a Communion. The church used wine instead of grape juice. When the KGB (the secret police) asked him what was in the communion cup, he said that there was the blood of Jesus. The KGB did not believe him, but he was convincing that there was actually the blood of Jesus in the cup. So the KGB took the cup and tested the liquid. The tests showed that the liquid inside the cup was blood.

This is not concerning the topic. When I was visiting the West coast, I met people from the former Soviet Union, and this is what they told about themselves. They were going to a church service that was located in a secret place. This was durring the Soviet Union. On the way, a policeman stopped the car and wanted to give them a ticket for placing too much people in a car. The policemen counted how many people there were in the car, and he counted sixteen people. All of the people there begged the policeman not to give a ticket. The policeman said "If there would be one more person in the car, then I would not give you a ticket." That Christian family opened the trunk, and there came out a person from the trunk. As the result, that family did not receive a ticket from the policeman. I thought that this story is hillarious and this is why I said this story.

Why fellowship with someone you clearly see as wrong?
Actually .....you know what...there is just no talking to some people

I do see the context of this verse, that is why it was posted after my statement about peace in Churches, that Christ would separate believers from unbelievers, even in our own families.

have you no idea of Bible Prophecy? This world will not get any better, the peace that will come during tribulation is FALSE it will be a lie of the devil
a deception to lead many into his worship, Do you think the wars and rumours of wars Christ himself speaks of would even be spoken of if they should not come to pass?, for I am afraid they must for scripture to be fulfilled!

2 Corinthians 11:13
For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

Isaiah 14:12
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

Do you imagine that satan will do all this by bringing war? no, the Lie will be peace on earth, the deception will be bought into, and many will bend the knee to baal, and let me tell you many are halfway down, knee's partially bent.
Open your eyes, its happening all around you. Especially when you surround yourself with Roman catholic, Charismatic, morman, JW Friends and whoever else you surround yourself with. The only truth that your friends have expounded to you are the baptists that assure you of eternal salvation, not works based.
You are entrenched in ecumenism, you appear to have no desire for the sincere milk of the word, the truth where you should grow thereby. I pray that the LORD may open your eyes, I also refrain myself from further debate with you. It is down to the LORD and his Word now as far as I am concerned.
