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.

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.

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,

to you

going to come off the wrong way, but i'm
going to say it anyway: many of the comments seem
to be «all about me», and truly that is what religion is... but not freedom, not the mission of Jesus where you die
to yourself by taking up your
cross daily... not being centered on the «other» rather than yourself...
