Take The World By Force?


False Teaching:

Dominionists teach the Kingdom of God as a literal and physical Kingdom to be advanced on earth in the present age. Some liken the New Testament Kingdom to the Old Testament Israel in ways that justify taking up the sword to war against enemies of their kingdom. They teach that men can and must be coerced or compelled to enter the kingdom.

Truth:

"Then Jesus said to him, 'Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword.'"
Matthew 26:52

Jesus’s message was: “You must be born again.” John 3:7
The rebirth cannot come about by force.

After the resurrection of Christ, the Apostles did NOT try to establish the Kingdom through force, in fact most of them were martyred.

And finally, this bears repeating:

“My kingdom is not of this world.”
John 18:36
