Charity is concern for, and active helping of, others.

Fortitude is never giving up.

Justice is being fair and equitable with others.

Prudence is care of and moderation with money.

Overwhelming logic of atheists...

Greetings!

I do and I am a former atheist! Jesus has gave me peace in my heart, mind and peace among my family and work place because I took his gift of peace seriously!

When Jesus was preparing to leave this world, he made a specific promise to his gathered disciples:

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. (John 14:27)

Peace was here with him, in his possession at all times. But when he departed, he endowed his disciples with it and left it in their possession. After all these centuries it yet remains here on the earth, and it yet remains in the possession of his disciples.

And how do they possess it? Must they pray for it, strive for it, work for it, struggle for it, fight for it? No, not at all! It is a gift:

. . . my peace I give to you. Therefore the disciples need only accept it. Isn't it amazing -- how simple things become if only we listen carefully to Jesus? This does not even require an inference. It is the Lord's simple statement; either we believe him, and receive his peace, or we don't!

Jesus first sent out the twelve to go throughout the territory proclaiming the kingdom of God in towns and villages. Then he sent out seventy others, giving them very similar instructions. Luke 9:4,5 above, and Luke 10:10,11, above, tell them how to respond if they were not received in any town. Clearly there is no son of peace in those towns that reject the disciples and their peace.

Some towns, and some houses, may contain a son of peace. Others will not, and the telling difference is simple: the son of peace will receive them and their peace, others will not. So Jesus has set up a sharp distinction between two different groups: those who are sons of peace, and those that are not sons of peace; those that receive the disciples and their peace, and those that do not receive either them or their peace. I have said this to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. (John 16:33)

The peace of Jesus comes with tribulation for the sons of peace who are in the world, and who have accepted the peace of Jesus through his word. This is its one down side, but it is not serious because Jesus has already overcome the world. The sons of peace can therefore take courage and be of good cheer in spite of the tribulation, knowing that their lord and king rules over all and their destiny beyond this world is a glorious one.

Every age has been salted by the sons of peace. There are always a few of them scattered about on the face of the earth. Jesus and his disciples, of course, but other disciples after them and even today have shown by their testimony that they are sons of peace. They are those who have suffered great tribulation for the cause of Jesus and his peace, even to the point of losing their live on the earth.

Don't have a problem Christ also said that he didn't come to unite he came to us against each other.

Peace is an ideal unfortunately as long as the human element is in anyway involved peace will always be a dream, whether we believe in a religion or not.

without following the context of the bible, how do you expect to understand what it says. I often see verses posted here out of context, and then atheists complaining that we don't address these issues in our religion.

it was the redneck evangelicals who said KILL FOR PEACE.

onward christian soldiers?

THOU SHALT NOT KILL

or cant you read?

Read to the End where time and teaching has passed.

God executes his judgements upon the wicked and the righteous. If he did not, he would not be God. God never does anything without warning people first through his servants the prophets.

umm.. Ezekiel is the Old Testament... Christianity beliefs didn't start till the New Testament.

L2R: "Christianity beliefs didn't start till the New Testament." I said nothing about us not using the Old Testament.. our basis of belief is in the New Testament... now your just being silly.
