I will be continuing
from where I stopped. The first post really generated a lot of questions,
comments, some will be addressed here. I know we virtually have different
background and so many beliefs we have come to hold unto and even cherish. So
if something new goes against our ‘norm’,
beliefs, we tend to rebuff it. I pointed out with scriptures,
that our real enemies aren’t humans, yes, they use human body but that doesn’t
just mean that human is your enemy and hence if he/she dies, your problems is
solved, it’s not the case.
Jesus cast out demons
from people. Why, he knows the real enemy is the Devil.
The thief comes not but that he may steal, and kill,
and destroy: I
am come that they might have life, and might have
[it] abundantly. John 10:10
1Peter 5:8 says Be sober, be vigilant; because your
adversary the devil,
as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.
I
love the NIV version of that scriptures Be
alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the
devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8 NIV
Do
you see that? your enemy is the devil. Your enemy is not that man/woman. Yes
they might serve as container/instrument in the hands of the devil but they are
not really your enemy, so when you pray, attack that evil spirit, that demon,
that devil, cast him away. If you pray
for a person to die, the devil will simply find another body to enter into…
Too
many a people who are suppose to fight the good fight of faith are busy
fighting the wrong fight. (Jesus never for once has God to kill the people who
hated even when He has the power to. He said, Father forgive them for they do
not know what they do
And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” And
they cast lots to divide his garments. - Luke 23:34
Do
you think if the evil man/woman becomes saved, he/she will do you evil. Now
someone might say but people died in the bible. Someone even quote the parable
of Jesus in Luke 19:27
But
those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them--bring them here
and kill them in front of me
Well, perverted truth is really the dangerous for the gospel. This verse to avoid
confusion and being taken out of context is to be read from verse 11 – 27:
The Parable of the
Ten Minas
11 While they were listening to
this, he went on to tell them a parable, because he was near Jerusalem and the
people thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear at once. 12 He
said: “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed
king and then to return. 13 So he called ten of his servants
and gave them ten minas. ‘Put this money to work,’ he said, ‘until I come
back.’
14 “But his subjects hated him and
sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We don’t want this man to be our king.’
15 “He was made king, however, and
returned home. Then he sent for the servants to whom he had given the money, in
order to find out what they had gained with it.
16 “The first one came and said,
‘Sir, your mina has earned ten more.’
17 “‘Well done, my good servant!’
his master replied. ‘Because you have been trustworthy in a very small matter,
take charge of ten cities.’
18 “The second came and said, ‘Sir,
your mina has earned five more.’
19 “His master answered, ‘You take
charge of five cities.’
20 “Then another servant came and
said, ‘Sir, here is your mina; I have kept it laid away in a piece of cloth. 21 I
was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take out what you did not
put in and reap what you did not sow.’
22 “His master replied, ‘I will
judge you by your own words, you wicked servant! You knew, did you, that I am a
hard man, taking out what I did not put in, and reaping what I did not sow? 23 Why
then didn’t you put my money on deposit, so that when I came back, I could have
collected it with interest?’
24 “Then he said to those standing
by, ‘Take his mina away from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.’
25 “‘Sir,’ they said, ‘he already
has ten!’
26 “He replied, ‘I tell you that to
everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even
what they have will be taken away. 27 But those enemies of mine
who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and kill them in front
of me.’”
It
has to do with the judgment of God. Those who reject God shall be punished at
the end. It’s very simple.
In
the next post, I will be writing more about the evil humans that need to die
(or have died). Till then, I want to
drop these words spoken by Jesus in Mathew
9:13:
But go ye and learn what [that]
meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the
righteous, but sinners to repentance
Do have a great time…
