Is there a reason why 99% of your bible quoting is OT scriptures ? Let me guess, that is where you find all your ammo to prove God is a condemning man of war.

That is a lie.

I would say that at least 50% of my Bible quoting is from the New Testament.

Tit 2:11, For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
Tit 2:12, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
Tit 2:13, Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
Tit 2:14, Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
Tit 2:15, These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.

If you read Galatians 5, it tells us that a changed life is one who walks in the Spirit and bearing the fruit of the Spirit is the life witness of a changed life. Can you tell me who those who walk in the Spirit are resembling ?

I can but won't; because I know that it is your judgment that I personally do not bear those fruits over the fact that I believe what the Bible says about everlasting condemnation for the unbeliever.

And I want to spare you the embarrassment of making that judgment publicly only for me to tell you that you have three fingers pointing back at you (Matthew 7:1-5, Luke 6:41-42).

So you do believe those bearing the fruit of the Spirit are those who resemble the likeness of God.

I will only say that I see that there are distinctions between the members of the Trinity; and that yes, the fruit of the Spirit (the Holy Ghost) is going to be according to the character of the Spirit.

The Son (Numbers 23:19 indicates that it is not the Father or the Spirit; neither of them are a Man).

Here is what the scripture says
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father (Fancy that He's called the Father too) , Prince of Peace.

Here is what you read in to and add to it
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Man of War, Prince of Peace.

If you cannot define Jesus Christ correctly, how are you ever going to define a christian correctly, other than by your doctrine and traditions of men?
