and just in case you don't believe me or just in case you feel that's not true
then Jesus himself said to buy a sword that's out of context we'll get into
that just a bit he spent the Old Testament talking about these things
so he doesn't need to reiterate it for you you need to get the Word of
God use both Old and New Testament all scriptures given by inspiration of
God is profitable for doctrine for reproof for correction and instruction
and righteousness look folks the Bible is not just a spiritual book it's a
practical book on how to just live life right how to have an earthly government
how to govern people what type of laws to make what God sanctions and what he
doesn't you think he's gonna reiterate all of that in the New
Testament he expects for you to already know he spent that much time
to write it in the Old Testament he doesn't need to reiterate in the New
Testament okay but there is a time to kill when well when protecting your
family when protecting your friends or even yourself okay protecting property
is not only biblical it's actually common sense go to Exodus chapter 22
Exodus chapter 22 look God expects for us to just use common sense right
he's given us a brain we should use it right and in fact some of the
parables that he used in the New Testament shows the common sense that he
wants us to have let me read you from Luke chapter 11 verse 21 when
referring to your property verse 21 says when a strong man armed keep at
this palace his goods are in peace so what is the common sense teaching
he's trying to tell you hey when someone is keeping his household his
goods and he's armed he has a machete he has a sword he has you know some
sort of weapon you know what his goods are gonna be in peace oh no no no but
that's just the parable yeah but he's using a common sense parable to teach
a spiritual truth and if the story or the principle that he's teaching here
the actual you know example that he's given has no validity then he wouldn't
have used it as a parable but when it's stronger than he shall come upon
and then we're overcoming overcome him he take it from him all his armor
worrying he trusted and divided his spoils he's saying look if you have a
knife but the guy comes at you with the gun he's gonna take your stuff
that's just what's gonna happen he's stronger than you
