"I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

They called out in a loud voice, "How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?"
"Rejoice over her, you heavens! Rejoice, you people of God! Rejoice, apostles and prophets! For God has judged her with the judgment she imposed on you."The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

I recommend you do not try too hard and ...research as little as possible. Such weighty things give me a headache. - Shunyadragon, Baha'i apologist

Originally posted by Jin-roh View PostExactly. Revelation is also talking about blood of martyrs who are such, in part, because they too violently loved their enemies in life.Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostThey (the souls of them which were slain - the martyrs) are calling for God to avenge, they are not rejoicing.
This is AFTER this life.
You should know that point is controversial, especially with millennium afterward!!
It is not instruction on how to live on this planet.Last edited by demi-conservative; 07-23-2017, 04:00 AM.Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.

Originally posted by demi-conservative View PostPlenty of angry psalms that say similar (if not ''''worse'''') things, so what makes you say that? Is rejoicing about enemies supposed to be something bad until it magically becomes good at Day of Judgment???The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Which reminds me of the woman who was raised a Muslim, and had an intense hatred for the Jews. She was taught, of course, that they were monkeys and pigs, and not worthy of human life. Through the testimony of a co-worker at a mall in Dallas, this woman was invited to Church at Prestonwood, where she was amazed that she was welcomed warmly, even though she purposely wore her burka just to be annoying. (her own testimony)
She gave her life to Christ, and was baptized the next Sunday. She says, "it was most remarkable thing - as I come up out of the water, I have overwhelming love for Jewish people".
She's a missionary now to Muslims in Israel, and our Church is pleased to support her. I praise God that she came from a religion of hate, to the "Church of Niceness".The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
