John MacArthur is totally right: if you preach another gospel you are accursed (anathema). I can’t stand those mainline or liberal “Christians” who are promoting “peace” and “justice” when they are actually promoting heresy and immorality. Definitely. People are so afraid to step on the toes of another religion. Are we not called to be “unashamed” of the Gospel?? The pervasive luke-warm mediocrity, the hesitancy to proclaim TRUTH, it’s just nauseating… den662 (2 years ago) ShowHide
Yes, even Jesus said that He did not come to bring peace, but the sword. You must be very suspicious of preachers who puts peace above TRUTH. Satan will use anything to devour souls, even peace and love.
explain, then, why he orders Peter to sheath his sword when Peter wishes to take up arms for Jesus. You should equally be suspicious of preachers who put WAR…and a fight they themselves won’t participate in…over TRUTH. I agree with you re: not putting peace above truth–just shine that light onto your own right-wing heart, TOO.
Peter (unwittingly) was trying to prevent Jesus from being arrested thereby interfering with Jesus’ mission on the cross. Jesus was going to go without a fight to do His father’s will. The passage is not about promoting world peace.
