Thank you Pastor John P. As Peter Tells us about God's Divine Grace ! 2Peters 1: 1-11 So Jesus Teaches us! Luke 17: 1-10 Yes Pastor John P. We are unworthy Servants; we Have only Done our Duty. Amen .
Agree with nearly 100% of what John said. However, it is not the case that Christians should not be able to protect themselves, their families, or others. We are made in God's image and sometimes, it is important to be able to protect yourself or other people from those who have discarded the image that their creator gave them. Evil must be defeated in this world too and that does not always take the form of a government. The government is not always a useful instrument of God's justice. Sometimes we must execute Justice in the moment in accordance with the laws of the land. Our own self-protection and protection of others is a perfect example of that option.
Are we not called to give that justice over to God? Bc of reading the Bible, I've become what the world would call a pacifist bc I can't find any example in the NT advocating self defense.
We should protect ourselves and loved ones. To what extent? How far do you think you should go? If you think you need a gun, the gun is an instrument of death that's why man made it, it was made to kill. God says to not murder. I also think that's a way to have control of our own life and we are not to live in control but allow God to have control. If we think things are okay just because its by the law of the land we are not giving the authority to God but the men that made the laws.

Genesis 8:20-9:17
(God (😊100%❤)'s
covenant with Noah😊❤)
Genesis 9:20-22 ESV)
" 20 Then Noah(😊❤)
build an altar to the LORD(😊❤)
and took some of every clean animal and some of every clean bird and offered burnt offering on the altar.
21 And when the LORD smelled the pleasing😊❤ aroma, the LORD said in his heart, " I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the intention of man's heart is evil from his youth. Neither will I ever again strike down every living creature as I have done.
22 While the earth remains, seedtime and havest cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night , shall not ceased."( Genesis 9:20-22 ESV)
Matthew 1:18-25(( The birth of Jesus(😊1st❤) Christ( Jesus😊1st❤))
" 18 This is how the birth of Jesus Christ(😊1st❤) came about: his mother Mary was pledged to married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with a child(Jesus😊1st❤) through ( by)
the Holy Spirit(😊❤).
9 Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and
did not want
to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.
20 But after he had consider this,
an angel to the Lord (😊❤) appeared to him( Joseph😊❤) in a dream and said, " Joseph😊❤ Son of David(😊❤),
do not
be afraid to take Mary(😊❤) home as your wife( one wife), because what is conceived in her is from(😊❤) the Holy Spirit(😊❤).
21 She (Mary, a woman will give birth) will give birth to a son( Jesus😊1st❤), and you will give him (Jesus😊1st❤) the name Jesus becase he( Jesus😊1st❤ ) will save his people(😊❤) from their sins."( Matthew 1:18- 21 Zondervan NIV Study Bible in Matthew 1:21a
"21 (a)
She (Mary) will give birth to a son( Jesus😊1st❤), and you will give him (Jesus😊1st❤) the name Jesus
(Pause.so Jesus😊1st❤ not only save his people from their sins but also the name
" Jesus😊1st❤
"was named by God through the angel( Gabriel) to Joseph ( Matthew 1:21😊❤ "... you will give him the name Jesus (😊1st❤)
and same thing was also applied to Mary too in Luke 1:31.
In Matthew 1:21 the Bible said,
"21
She (Mary) will give birth to a son(Jesus😊1st❤), and you( Joseph) will give him the name Jesus(😊1st❤)( why? ) because he will save his people😊❤ from sins."
"( Matthew 1:21 Zondervan NIV Study Bible)
and Mary same thing too in Luke 1:31
"31 You( Mary) will be with child and give birth to a son( a baby boy, Jesus😊1st❤), and you( Mary) are to give him(Jesus😊1st❤) the name Jesus(😊1st❤)."( Luke 1:31 Zondervan NIV Study Bible)
Praise God and keep reading in Christ in Luke 1:32-33
"32 He( Jesus😊1st❤) will be great(❤) and be called the Son ( Jesus😊1st❤) of the Most High(😊❤). The Lord God(😊❤) will give him( Jesus😊1st❤)
the throne of his father David(😊❤),
33 and he(Jesus😊1st❤) will(😊❤) reign(❤)
over(😊❤) the house Jacob(😊❤) forever, his( Jesus😊1st❤) kingdom(😊❤)
will
never end."
( Luke 1:31-33 Zondervan NIV Study Bible)
The three words of Jesus' kingdom "... will never end" remind me Jesus in Hebrews 13:8
"8 Jesus (😊1st❤) Christ( Jesus 😊1st❤)
is the same yesterday(😊1st❤)
and today(😊1st❤) and forever( 😊1st❤). "( from memory in Christ and Zondervan NIV Study Bible
Hebrews 13:8
"8 Jesus Christ( Jesus😊1st❤)
is the same yesterday(😊1st❤)
and today(😊1st❤) and forever(😊1st❤). "( from memory in Christ and Zondervan NIV Study Bible
Now resume back to Matthew 1:21 again in Christ and
Matthew 1:21-25
"21
She (Mary) will give birth to a son(Jesus😊1st❤), and you( Joseph) will give him the name Jesus(😊1st❤)( why? ) because he will save his people😊❤ from sins."
22 All this fulfull what the Lord had said through the prophet:
23 " The virgin( Mary) will be with a child(Jesus😊1st❤ )
and will give birth to a son(Jesus😊1st❤ )
, and they will call him( " call him immanuel" )
immanuel- which means, " God(😊100%❤)
with us(😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤)."(
24 When Joseph(😊❤) woke up(just like you and i just praise God we woke up this morning too in Christ), he did what the angel of the Lord(Jesus 😊1st❤) had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife(❤)
25 But he had no union( no sex) with her until
she birth to a son(Jesus😊1st❤).
And she gave him(Jesus😊1st❤) the name Jesus( 😊1st❤)."( Matthew 1:21-25 Zondervan NIV Study Bible and above also meant in Christ Jesus to share Matthew 1:18-25( The Birth of Jesus Chrst(Jesus😊1st❤). All other Scripture along the Way(John 14:6😊❤) in Christ and all parenthesis parts and symbols in Christ and for Christ Jesus(😊1st❤). May Jesus save His people from sins once more time. In Jesus'name, i pray( Matthew 1:21, 21b). Amen.
21
She (Mary) will give birth to a son(Jesus😊1st❤), and you( Joseph) will give him the name Jesus(😊1st❤)( why? ) because he will save his people😊❤ from sins."( Matthew 1:21 Zondervan NIV Study Bible)
He totally picked up on what Peter was saying.
