| The sword | |

| And Jesus said, think not that I have come to bring peace, | |
| not peace but a sword. He that lives by the sword will die by | |
| the sword. | |
| Where or what is this sword if it is not the word, the word | |
| is a sword, two edged sword, kills both ways, use it, die by it. | |
| But yet how can this be? The bible is an armerary of weapons and | |
| all words and the only way to use the word and not die by the | |
| word is to understand it. Not understand it as this world | |
| understands it but to understand it with the thoughts from | |
| above, God's thoughts. The Lord didn't say we could not use the | |
| sword, just not live by it. All Jesus did and said was a sword | |
| against the enemies of his people. He even called his own | |
| disciples evil. He said if yee being evil know how to give good | |
| gifts to you children how much greater will your father in | |
| heaven give you. For your father in heaven to be your father in | |
| heaven you must be born of the heavenly teachings, the word with | |
| a heavenly understanding. Otherwise the father in heaven is not | |
| your father in heaven, your father is the evil one. The way of | |
| this world is evil so the worlds understanding of the word is | |
| against you and the sword Jesus brought instead of the peace | |
| that come from knowing the father from above, that joy of | |
| knowing him and the rest from all the fighting and spiritual | |
| battles going on without people even recognizing it. | |

| at the time that JESUS said this ...... who was family with GOD | |
| ? | |
| YOU HAvE SAID " All Jesus did and said was a sword against the | |
| enemies of his people. He even called his own disciples evil. " | |
| i would say "none" are family with GOD until the death of JESUS | |
| opens the door to be KINSMAN REDEEMED | |

| 51 And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out | |

| 52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his | |

| [font=trebuchet ms]Colin, | |
| Ephesians 6:17 tells us to take up the sword of the Spirit--the | |
| Word of God--as part of our armor. But Jesus said if we live by | |
| the sword, we will die by the sword. Jesus said this after | |
| Peter cut off a man's ear. Peter cut it off; Jesus touched him | |
| (healed him)[/font] | |
| [quote]The Lord didn't say we could not use the sword, just not | |
| live by it.[/quote] | |
| [font=trebuchet ms]What is the difference between using the | |
| sword and living by the sword? [/font] | |
