True Peace
Cindy
"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth,
give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
John 14:27
"There always have been and always will be two classes on the earth to
the end of time--the believers in Jesus, and those who reject Him. Sinners,
however wicked, abominable, and corrupt, by faith in Him will be purified,
made clean, through the doing of His word. Those who reject Christ and
refuse to believe the truth will be filled with bitterness against those who
accept Jesus as a personal Saviour. But those who receive Christ are melted
and subdued by the manifestation of His love and His humiliation, suffering,
and death in their behalf.
The peace that Christ gave to His disciples, and for which we pray, is
the peace that is born of truth, a peace that is not to be quenched because
of division. Without may be wars and fightings, jealousies, envies, hatred,
strife; but the peace of Christ is not that which the world giveth or taketh
away. It could endure amid the hunting of spies and the fiercest opposition
of His enemies. Christ did not for an instant seek to purchase peace by a
betrayal of sacred trusts. Peace could not be made by a compromise of
principles. It is a grave mistake on the part of those who are children of
God to seek to bridge the gulf that separates the children of light from the
children of darkness by yielding principle, by compromising the truth. It
would be surrendering the peace of Christ in order to make peace or
fraternize with the world. The sacrifice is too costly to be made by the
children of God to make peace with the world by giving up the principles of
truth. Then let the followers of Christ settle it in their minds that they
will never compromise truth, never yield one iota of principle for the favor
of the world. Let them hold to the peace of Christ." My Life Today, p.77.

Is it really true that this peace can keep people from being upset
because Ted McMillan reproved a terrorist who gloated over the dead
bodies of many Christians? Could Ted McMillan doing that cause others
to post day and night to attack him but be willing to overlook the
terrorist? Is it possible that by compromising peace, Ted McMillan
can become bloodthirsty even by the people teaching us about peace,
not being paranoid and against attacking others?
Can this peace provide natural affection so that strange people on
these newsgroups, as the common folk we see everyday, can really
notice and get upset with a super-terrorist instead of doing so with
someone who reproved him? Can it really elevate sub-humans to
humanity? Is it possible it can then elevate humans to Christians who
have died horribly?

Yes Ted,
It is possible.
And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then
can be saved?
And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with
God: for with God all things are possible. Mar 10:26 &27
Your Post with all the overwhelming evidence about Terrorism is still not
on my server. I will supply the links tomorrow on the thread where you
asked for them.
I will just say now, That No, I do not live up to Catholic standards, and
so that includes Ted Seeber's, I got along with him and considered him a
friend clear up till the day I caught him lying, and he wouldn't admit it. I
do not appreciate lying, it made me think where there is one lie there are
more,and so I did a search on him in usenet and read alot of things I
disagreed with, these were things I didn't know before. It changed my
opinion about him. My opinions, and beliefs about our first conversations on
this newsgroup had already changed before this. The lie was the finishing
touch.
In His Grace,
Cindy
