The sword
DIR By: colin

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.

YOU HAvE SAID " All Jesus did and said was a sword against the
enemies of his people. He even called his own disciples evil. "

opens the door to be KINSMAN REDEEMED

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)

What is the difference between using the sword and living by the
sword?
