A12 Putting the Sword Into Its Place

Part of series Agape Series

How do we reconcile the wholesale slaughter of nations by Israel with the sword against the words of Christ?

…for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.

Not only men, women and children also.

Deut 2:34 And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:

Were the Israelites truly in tune with the character of God? Why were they regularly afraid that He had brought them out into the desert to kill them? Was the deep darkness that fell upon Abraham in any way related to his taking of the sword to save his nephew and family?

Did the slaughter of the Shechemites by Levi and Simeon have any influence on the vow of Israel to utterly destroy their enemies?

The use of the sword by Israel is completely out of character with the life of Christ in the New Testament. How do we reconcile this apparent contradiction?

Who are you really? Do you know?

This book has the potential to transform the lives of countless millions of people who, if given the chance to read it, will experience the amazing results of KNOWING...truly knowing who they really are. The journey described in this narrative reaches back to the origins of life itself and the foundational principles of good and evil and how one LIE, believed and acted upon has morphed into innumerable facets of worthlessness...the core of false identity. There is indeed a WAR/WARS being fought daily in the corporate and individual lives of every human being on this planet. IDENTITY WARS takes you on a journey describing how the war/wars began and how the attrition rate is shockingly high regarding the victims who have been led down the false path of "value by performance, assets, material possessions and humanistic, godless worth." It contrasts the worthlessness of the LIE with the truth of "value by relationship" to a REAL Father of infinite love and blessings Who gave us an unspeakable GIFT. Our relationship based upon our recognizing/receiving this GIFT and believing what our TRUE IDENTITY is according to this Gift is the crux of the matter! This book is awesome....certain chapters brought episodes of weeping with unfettered response to the revelations of who I really am! Read this book! It will break the chains of worthlessness that may indeed have been forged to keep you enslaved to a lie that brings only depression, pain and death. The Road to Freedom and a joyous life beckons! The map is in this book. Be blessed....read this, get up and get going!
