Truth in the end times. Biblical Christians.

Biblical Christians. THE TRUTH FOR THE FOLLOWERS OF JESUS CHRIST "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

„Kto ma trzos, niech go weźmie, podobnie i torbę, a kto nie ma miecza, niech sprzeda suknię swoją i kupi” – Łukasza 22 – cytatem uprawniającym do posiadania broni.

The entire situation in Luke 22, the chapter that contains one argument for gun ownership reads like this:

 

 

' And he said to them: When I sent you without purse, without bag, without sandals, did you lack anything? And they said: Nothing. (36) And he said to them: But now, whosoever has a purse, let him take it, and likewise the bag, And whoever has no sword, let him sell his dress and buy one. (37) For I tell you that what is written must be fulfilled on me: Unto transgressors was I counted: for that which was written of me is fulfilled. (38) And they said, Lord, here are two swords. And He said: It is enough."

 

One may wonder, and rightly so, why does the Lord Jesus, so uncharacteristically peaceful and mild-mannered up to now, command the disciples to buy swords?

 

The answer is later in this chapter:

 

„Albowiem mówię wam, iż musi się wypełnić na mnie to, co napisano: Do przestępców był zaliczony”

 

 

This was the exception from which the rule is made.

To make you aware of the uniqueness of this situation and the difference I am posting another story:

 

„Odtąd Jezus zaczął otwarcie mówić swoim uczniom, że musi iść do Jerozolimy, że ma wiele wycierpieć od starszyzny i arcykapłanów, i nauczycieli Pisma i umrzeć, a na trzeci dzień zmartwychwstać. (22) And Peter, having taken Him aside, began to rebuke Him: - Have mercy on yourself, Lord, this cannot befall you! (23) And (Jesus) turning away said to Peter: - Get out of my sight, O tempter; you urge me on to evil, because you think not after God, but after men." Matthew 16.

 

Similar situation. Jesus is acting illogically in the eyes of others and this is what Peter dared to tell him. This devoted disciple, wanted to save Jesus, but Christ just had to go through all of this. If this were Millennial times he would have behaved differently, but here was what was going to happen. The sacrifice of the lamb was to be made.

 

 

Why did He have, had to Jesus be counted among the transgressors? Because prophecy was about to be fulfilled:

 

 Therefore in inheritance I will assign to him many, and great multitudes he will possess as a prey. For he delivered himself to death and was numbered among the transgressors, because he himself bore the sins of many and made intercession for the transgressors.""

Isaiah 53

 

And it happened, he was counted among the criminals which is in that same Luke:

 

One of the hanged evildoers rebuked him: "Are you not the Messiah? Deliver yourself and us.(40) Then the other rebuked him and said: "Do you not fear God at all, though you are under the same judgment? (41) And we indeed rightly, for we fully receive what we have deserved by what we have done; but he has done nothing wrong." (42) And still he said: "Jesus, remember me when you are in your kingdom." (43) And he said to him: "Verily I say unto thee this day, Thou shalt be with me in Paradise."

 

The Lord Jesus was among the transgressors. He was counted among the Law-breakers, though He was the most Righteous Man in the world. He broke God's Law in nothing so that we would be justified, so that Satan could not accuse us. Finally, that we might begin a new life of righteous living.

 

Paweł Chojecki reklamował akcję z bronią „jestem chrześcijaninem”. Kiedyś chciałem pokazać absurd tej akcji sarkastycznym memem:

 

 

 

 

If we are to misunderstand this verse from Luke, then we would have to count on our skills: martial arts skills, mechanical weapons in our possession, and we should forget Ephesians as well:

 

„Gdyż bój toczymy no z blood nor with bodybut with the powers above, with the rulers of this world of darkness, with evil spirits in the districts" Ephesians 6

 

It's not a bad thing to play sports, but this one can become our idol, a backstory, and Jesus, can become an add-on....

 

 

Wiele się mówi innym kiedy mają problemy słynną sugestią „zostaw to Bogu”, ale kiedy przychodzi do zetknięcia z potencjalnym problemem chcielibyśmy to robić po swojemu.

Tak więc ta broń jest takim działaniem po swojemu, co spycha na bok Ducha Świętego. Jest to w stylu Pawlaków „sąd sądem, ale sprawiedliwość musi byc po naszej stronie”

 

 

W filmie „Przełęcz Ocalonych” główny bohater, chrześcijanin  adwentysta Desmond  Doss (authentic character), decides not to shoot at the people in the enemy camp, but saves them on the battlefield.

It's very cool to watch such tear-jerking movies, but we often do things differently in life....

 

My perception of the subject of gun ownership by Christians is as above. There is no place in the New Testament for guns for Christians.

 

„Weźcie moje jarzmo i uczcie się ode Mnie, bo jestem łagodny i pokornego serca, a znajdziecie odpoczynek dla dusz waszych.”

Jesus.

  1. Very good article. If we believe in eternal life then we are to go through a test on this earth as to whether we are fit at all. God does not want us to kill our enemies, abusers, thieves, etc.
    We are to fulfill the Gospel. We have everything prophesied:
    „Potem dano jej wszcząć walkę ze świętymi
    and overcome them, If he who is destined for captivity goes into captivity,
    if he who is killed by the sword - must be killed by the sword.
    This is where the perseverance and faith of the saints is demonstrated."
