[Revenant]

I see how it definately could come across as that. However I feel that eventhough Armageddon has not fully struck, it does begin from within, as darkness would try to strip you away from God.

We 'conquer', and we 'overcome' evil in this internal war. Both statements are used within the bible and it's scriptures. One being: Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. (Romans 12:17–21). Hence the fist to the sky. The fist was not meant as a weapon to strike, but a reach to God and the confession. God is peace and love, YES. But he also asks his children - When the time comes, will you die for me as my son died for you? The ultimate sacrifice, to give yourself for HIM. Let us make no mistake about it. Darkness WILL strike, and when that time comes - God will unleash his Angels; The divine military, so to speak. It is not for us as followers to decide when vengeance should arrive, but it is up to God himself to decide. I am prepared to march at his word.

"I will, Jah. And for you, I would stare the very essence of evil in the face."

I have done so in my life, and I will continue to do so every time he steps into my path with God. My weapons are not my fists, but rather, my faith in the Lord. My preservation is Lucifer's frustration... as again, you see from the protesting 'screams'. No bloodshed, just a crumbling of his grip on my soul.

Hard to explain, but I tried...

"I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death."

And My Favorite:

"For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?"

I think I understand...it's not you per se, but what you say is a way of thinking about God, us, life that I believe is from now on going to hold Christians back

It's quite prevalent in Christendom

How can I say it...IT'S NOT LOVE

Anger is NOT love.

God is love.

I think it's a Satanic deception, a wrong understanding of Christianity/God, when we let anger empower us to victory

Jesus surrendered, died...that's how he 'won' - through love, not through a clenched fist...[/i]

Am I making any sense to you Revenant?

(Lots of other people already think I talk garbage/nonsense anyway )

love

[Revenant]

Perfect sense!

And to enter the house of the Lord, what would one be required to relinquish? Hatred. Christianity is indeed about love, and forgiveness. To those who SEEK it.

Perhaps it was confusing, because it is a two part story, but I see where you are coming from. Midway through, is where God is accepted into the life. The entire first half is spoken from the eyes without embracing Christianity. Anger. Yes. From then, it is the will of the mortal to shut evil out, and live only for Jah.

If you notice, after the fist is raised to the sky, there is no mention of blood, nor violence. The wounds are never again mentioned, as they are healed with the inner peace that God provides. Lucifer will continue to scream, and protest... and pull at the soul in order to drag them back down.

However, once the fire of hate is extinguished and "frozen", contempt and fury also diminish within the spirit... which, in turn, leaves us with what? Love.

-

One thing God will never ask us, is to surrender to evil and forsake him. I would die for my God, just as Jesus did... make no mistake about it.

Are you sure that's Lucifer rather than your own unresolved emotional turmoil over your ex-girlfriend?

It does matter because you can't deny yourself, if it's your own emotions rather than 'Lucifer' that are screaming for attention...

Whoa. Can we NOT go there? I had plenty of problems before her, as well...

Terribly low blow.
