Not sure i am convinced because how do you explain the verse an eye for an eye in the old testament there have always been consequences for wrong doing and stiill are for sin.If we believe the word then that word is from God not satan.As far as satan is concerned he uses violence as his tools
of trade he works on our fears and is limited to robbing stealing and destroying he does nt have anything else.Violence confirms to us that there is a spiritual battle going on both on the earthly plane and in the heavenlys and the battle is over souls.The verse the kingdon
of heaven is expanding and violent people take it by force is referring to that spiritual battle and as satan uses violence to expand his dominion so does God use violence to counter him.So what does he
mean by that term for me i think it is saying that the the force
of evil that satan uses or violence is overcome by a greater violence or force a more powerful one that being the Love
of Christ.Through the cross we see that clearly portrayed and in our
lives that
very same battle is still happening right now for dominion be clear if we walk in the flkesh satan will have dominion over us but if we walk according to the spirit and abide in Christ we have freedom from our old nature.and satan.He can oppose us but he wont be able to influence us if we are in Christ.

very least the author tries to make it clear for us in retrospect (At the time they didn't understand that he spoke
of this...), in this case Jesus switches from something that might be figurative to essentially say «no, I seriously
mean this» and it concludes not with Jesus saying «don't go away, this is what I actually
mean» but confirming that people would refuse to accept that God intended for them to actually fill themselves with the
life that He offered so they stopped following him.

Jeremy Myers, i think you are wrong and David is right, so many out there are preaching you can
live any way you want and be right that Grace covers any sin, they really believe that, that is not what the bible says, God was
very concerned about sin so much he sent Jesus his son to die on a cross for us, if we accept Jesus as our savor then we are to obey his commandments, not break them, we are to
live a righteous and holy
life as possible, the bible plainly list a whole list
of things if we
live in will not to to heaven unless we repent, if we die while in these sins, we will not go to heaven, what is the difference, between someone who said a prayer and someone who did not, and they are
living the same way, none, i think, if we are truly saved it should be hard to do these things let alone
live and do them everyday, i would be afraid to tell people that it does not matte grace covers their sins, i really think it is the slip ups that we are convicted
of by the Holy Spirit and we ask for forgivness, how can anyones heart be right with God and they have sex all the time out
of marriage, lie, break every commandment
of God, i don't think this is
meaning grace covers those sins, until they repent and ask for forgiveness, a lot
of people will end up in hell because preachers teach Grace the wrong way,, and those preachers will answer to God for leading these people the wrong way, not saying you are one
of them, but be careful, everything we teach or preach must line up with the word
of God, God hates sin,

meaning of the great racist persecutions and who try to understand this

life, demands that will ever cry «no» to the tyranny
