| So this kid thinks hes funny, and a wise guy and asks if violence is the answer. BUT I will try to answer that in the best way possible.
Let us start with a verse from Matthew, 7:12. It reads "So in everything, do to others what you would have them to to you, for this sums up the Law of the Prophets." I thinks that is pretty self explanitory. It also says in Romans 12:10 "Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourself." So taking those 2 verses and their meanings nas combining them it says don't do anything to another that you would not do to yourself, or a family member. And the one that I think sums it up for Christians is in 1 John 4:20-21 "If anyone says 'I love God,' yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. And he has given us this command: Whoever loves god must also love his brother."
What I am trying to say is that violence is not the answer. God will frown upon the action. An exerpt from Ephesians 4:32 "...forgiving one another..." In forgiveness, no bitterness is left, and violence is not a question.
But you may say "but in the bible there are all these wars", but I will also say that God is God. These wars were set up by Him, for a higher reason. To make way for his promised people.
So in short. I do not think that violence is the answer. However, this is only my opinion, after listening to Gods word.
Thank you for your question McBane. Anyone else with a question? Ask away.
Luke 4:3 And the Evil One said to him, If you are the Son of God, give orders to this stone to become bread.
4 And Jesus made answer to him, It has been said in the Writings, Bread is not man’s only need. |
