The Third Way

I've just listened to another interview with Shoebat that I'll embed here.

I deeply respect him for the work he's done for the church and  blind America;
more than any other single person in educating about  real Islam and it's goal, about Turkey and the rise of the Caliphate, very possibly of the mark of the beast, etc. 
And his organization, "Rescue Christians. org" looks to be stellar.

Yet, his middle eastern roots have him still bound to the historical ideology of the blood soaked sands: (1)kill or (2)be killed.  And this is what he's teaching and assigning the stamp of Christ to! in the midst of some really valuable information and insights;  even though in this interview or any other, he cannot Biblically justify it except by the Old Testament.  That's because there is no justification for it from Jesus.  None.

Obviously, if one comes to kill me in the name of his god, and I kill him in the name of my God...humanity has tried that over and over again.  Yet, no peace.  Because that's the mind of man, not the Mind of God.
And how do we know the Mind of God?  Read what Jesus said. (You have seen Me and yet you say 'show us the Father'???)

Well, never has there been a time such as this.  Tell that to those martyred by Rome through the ages; tortured, burned alive, boiled in oil, crucified, beheaded.
Like it or not, our God is well aware, knows who it will be,  and provides eternal reward for all the martyred ones.

So then, we must lay down our lives, endure suffering for the sake of the Coming Kingdom, the Promise of eternal life?   Yes.  And  No.

There are Blessings and Promises from God to us regarding this life in the here and now, and they exist in the Kingdom of God.
Sometimes we get confused about 'the Kingdom is Now but not yet."
It is NOW to every born again believer.  This is what we are born again into!
But not yet is the whole earth redeemed.

Romans 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
This is the Third way.

(I'm stuck in blue, so I'll post the vid and come back to the Kingdom.)

I do intend to write Walid, on the off chance he sees it.   I think the best argument against his call to arms is that he says he was once an Islamic terrorist. 
If we followed his advice and killed him before he had opportunity to come to know the Truth of the Bible, where would he be in the afterlife?   And what about the one who took his life?  Where will that person spend eternity?
We don't get to do the devil's work in the Name of Jesus and presume to call it justified.
