A member of your family is being threatened with a gun. Is free will so important that you would stand by and do nothing in order not to violate the [i]attacker's[/i] free will or would you step in and protect your family?
[i]*For the purposes of this question, don't worry about your personal safety or realistic ability to stop a shooter*[/i]
I am against violence so I would pray and open my Bible and tell them about Jesus before they kill us. If God so chooses to save me and my family it is his will, or I would die and go to heaven. I don't live for this world, I live for heaven. Jesus says turn the other cheek, forgive 70x7. I want to hear "Good and faithful servant" Jesus said they killed me so can you expect different treatment? So far God has saved me many times over. Praise God!
@LordShadowfire Israel's future is in the Bible, God explains it right there! Before Jesus comes Israel will be surrounded by armies, and the gospel will have reached the whole world. We might be right there, or very close.
[b][c=BF0000]20 “When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. 21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city. 22 For this is the time of punishment in fulfillment of all that has been written. 23 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people. 24 They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
25 “There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. 26 People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. 27 At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”
29 He told them this parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees. 30 When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near. 31 Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near.
32 “Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
34 “Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you suddenly like a trap. 35 For it will come on all those who live on the face of the whole earth. 36 Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.” [/c][/b]
According to the book of Esther we have a God given right to fight for our lives instead of just laying down and letting them have their way with us, or we could let them kill us and pray to God Father forgive them for they know not what they do! We have free will!
Omg you're a terrible person for even coming up with this scenario!!!! Which is why i pick the latter, darkmatter already covered this in one of his animations and i gotta admit it was done pretty well
@Pikachu he's a good youtuber, im surprised you havent heard of him yet. The guy makes tons of videos exploring a side to religion without directly knocking it down a peg, like the one about an atheist, christian, and muslim walk into a "bar"
lol the question is not a troll, i've just been trolling [i]you[/i] personally because of your behaviour...and successfully strung you along for quite a while because your ego gives me possession. Good boy.
But you've misunderstood the purpose of my question. Imagine my surprise...
