Thank you for your e-mail you sent us. First of all, we want you to read
what it says in John 14:6. "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the
truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
There is no other way, but by Jesus Christ; He alone is the true church
on this earth. It is the body of Jesus Christ that every true Christian
belongs to. There is no chaos in this true church, as you say there is.
The body of Jesus Christ is right in all things; they are a people who
have the mind of Jesus in them. They also live a holy life, and walk
this earth living above committing sin. You see the church of Jesus
Christ is a perfect church, because this is what Jesus commands us to
be. Matthew 5:48. "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is
in heaven is perfect."
No there is no chaos in the body of Jesus; we are all united in the
truth of His Word, and we preach His Word to the uttermost of our
beings. Let us look at why there is chaos in religion, as you say there
is. The reason is that ninety nine percent of religions are false; they
are of the devil. They preach a doctrine of their own making; that is
what their father the devil tells them, and at times they may also
preach some truth, but that is only to make it sound like they are
preaching the Word of God. Yet they are false, as false can be, and this
is why you have utter chaos, it is taking people into hell fire.
A Christian has only one goal, and that is to serve Jesus and win souls
to Him.
Their goal is to obey His Word to the uttermost, and by doing so He will
keep us and our families safe. What is wrong with the mighty power of
God? Why is it that you are refusing to believe that He can keep you
safe? He does not need the arm of flesh to help Him. A true Christian
has to be dead to the things of the flesh and alive to the things of the
Holy Spirit, and you will not find what you do right in the eyes of
Almighty God.
1 Peter 3:12-14. "For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and
his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is
against them that do evil. And who is he that will harm you, if ye be
followers of that which is good? But and if ye suffer for righteousness'
sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be
troubled."
You say there is nowhere in the Bible where it says you cannot protect
yourself. But listen, the Bible makes it quite clear that God Almighty
is your protector, it is a matter of living faith in Jesus. Yes, Jesus
did say turn the other cheek, and He meant it; not at times where you
want to, but at all times. It shows the love of God in us. By doing the
opposite, you are showing the flesh, which should be dead. It shows they
are not living the Word of God, and by doing so they are none of His.
You cannot live in the flesh and in the Spirit at the same time; it is
one or the other.
Luke 10:19. "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and
scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any
means hurt you."
Do you think God is talking for the sake of talking, and talking a lie?
No, He means what He says. If people stand firm on His Word, then He
will protect them.
But as you say in your e-mail, you will fight if you had to, and that
means you may even bodily hurt someone, or even kill them. Only on the
day of judgement will you find out how wrong you are for disobeying the
Word of Jesus.
Let us tell you about what happened in England. There was a man
preaching the Word of God, and he saw a man coming by him with a knife
in his hand. The preacher asked Jesus to pin the man to the lamp-post he
was just passing, and that is what God did. Then the preacher went up to
him and asked the man why he had the knife, and the man told him that he
was going home to kill his wife. The preacher then told the man about
Jesus, and the man gave his life to Jesus, and not only that, but the
man's wife also gave her heart to Jesus.
Throughout the Bible we are told of the mighty keeping power of God. You
can read it with your own eyes, and yet you still lean upon the arm of
flesh. You are denying the God of power.
You say some Christian groups are trying hard to win souls for Jesus.
Well, if they are truly Christians then souls will be saved. But if you
mean they are trying to show them Jesus through martial arts, then they
will fail because Jesus is no where near martial arts; it is the
opposite to all Jesus stands for.
We pray the Lord Jesus will open your eyes to His truth, and that you
will make your stand in the power of the Holy Spirit instead of the
flesh, that will fail you one day.
2 Corinthians 10:3-4. "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war
after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but
mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds
"
