Fear and Obedience.Originally posted by Maroney00 View Post
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:
Fear God, and keep his commandments:
for this is the whole duty of man.
Ecclesiastes 12:13Hello, my name is Mary. I hope to fellowship with you! That is, unless you don't listen to church authority (Deuteronomy 17:12); are a witch (Exodus 22:17); are a homosexual (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:24-32); or fortuneteller (Leviticus 20:27) or a snotty kid who hits their dad (Exodus 21:15); or curses their parents (Proverbs 20:20; Leviticus 20:9); an adulterer (Leviticus 20:10); a non-Christian (Exodus 22:19; Deuteronomy 13:7-12; Deuteronomy 17:2-5;Romans 1:24-32); an atheist (2 Chronicles 15:12-13); or false prophet (Zechariah 13:3); from the town of one who worships another, false god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19); were a non-virgin bride (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); or blasphemer (Leviticus 24:10-16), as God calls for your execution and will no doubt send you to Hell, and I have no interest developing a friendship with the Spiritually Walking Dead.

Re: Circular logic?
Fear and obedience were the rules under Nazi Germany, is that the mentality you'd endorse?2 Thess 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.Comment

Re: Circular logic?
They are also the rules in the US military. Do you have a problem with people who serve our country, too?Originally posted by Maroney00 View Post

Re: Circular logic?
I will be joining the army this coming fall. Fear, however, is not tenet of the military, and there is immediate reason for obedience. However, that does not excuse aggressive Christian behavior.2 Thess 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.Comment

Re: Circular logic?
No, risk of title 15, risk of arrest, as well as contractual obligation to serve the military. What's more, depending on one's career, he will get consistently polygraphed to maintain that he is still an asset to national security.2 Thess 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.Comment

Re: Circular logic?
Didn't you just say like two posts ago, that fear was not one of the tenets of the military?Originally posted by Maroney00 View Post
Where's that logic of yours, again?God created fossils to test our faith.

True Christians are Perfect!
True Christian™ Love.
Salvation™ made Easy!
You can’t be a Christian if you don’t believe the Old Testament.
Jesus is impolite. Deal with it.
Jesus is xenophobic and so should we.
Sanctity of Life is NOT a Biblical Concept.
Biblical view on modern-day slavery.
The Immorality of the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights."
Geneva Conventions vs. The Holy Bible.
God HATES Rational Thinking!
True Christian™ Man as a spitting image of God.Comment

You know what, you're right. I had an inconsistency. Thank you for pointing that out.2 Thess 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.Comment

Re: Circular logic?
See, this is your problem in a nutshell: you've discarded the rules of God without fully knowing them, and when (if?) you enter the military you will have the same problem.Originally posted by Maroney00 View Post
Amazing that people will submit themselves to the (temporary) authority of Man (Hebrews 13:17 et al) but balk when it comes to submitting to Jesus.
I mean, all He did was DIE for your filthy sins.

Re: Circular logic?
For some insight into the unsaved, we balk because we are too caught up in requiring the seen. Jesus' death is not all that relevant to us, we refuse blind faith, it's unsettling.
However, I disagree about the military. For me, the consequences are much more tangible and much more immediate. Does that make some sense, despite how wrong I am to you?2 Thess 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.Comment

Re: Circular logic?
So punishment is only valid when it's immediate? Ramifications are only important if they affect you short-term? Consequences can be dismissed if you can't touch them?Originally posted by Maroney00 View Post
