Killing/Murder
Gina:
And I only meant that I love the way that Ray brought out the truth of that matter. What kind of a sick human being loves killing other human beings? Sometimes it's necessary and totally justified, whether we like it or not.
eggi:
Gina, I know what you meant. What I meant is that I'm not convinced that we Christians should kill, for any reason.
God alone can give and take life, that's how I feel.
Gina:
What's that verse about, He will slay them with the sword of His mouth? Well, that's all this is talking about. I mean, seriously, would you not spiritually slay the Hagees of this world if it stopped the filth they spew from the pulpits, knowing it saves other people's spiritual lives -- knowing that the Hagees would be healed and saved eventually and LEARN RIGHTEOUSNESS? I would. In a heartbeat. But I understand where you're coming from, Eggi. You're such a fine human being, and I just absolutely adore you.
eggi:
Love you Gina, you're so right! Spiritually slaying in order to give life, now that's something else!
God bless you,
Eirik

Dear friends eggi and "shorty",
Interesting thoughts.
We only have the ability to slay a person spiritually after God has begun the process and after the person has 'volunteered' to submit to our efforts. We are not in the business of convicting people of the rightness of what we have first been given by God.
They are the same as we once were. Lost and ignorant of the means toward salvation.
As far as I presently understand we do not have authority from God to slay anyone, spiritually or physically. That authority has to be delegated to an individual by one with the authority to delegate, Lord Jesus. I don't see that happening in this physical life.
Please refer me to an article by Ray or from scripture that authorizes us.
Thanks for the interesting topic and for any counsel you can provide.
Kindly offered, Indiana Bob ;D
