Matthew 11:12
Luke 16:16
1. Is it the "violent" Christian that takes heaven by force?
2. Must a Christian be violent after his/her salvation.
See spurgeon's SERMON on matthew 11:12
See Edward's SERMON on Luke 16:16 (also matthew 11:12)
See Gill's COMMENTARY on Matthew 11
SUMMARY of Watson's book "Heaven taken by Storm"
This verse (matthew 11:12) has been intriguing me. A few other commentaries I have looked at give mixed views of this verse (including the "Reformation Study Bible" that differs from Edwards, Gill, Spurgeon and Watson). But I am thoroughly enjoying Watson's treatment of it in "Heaven taken by storm"
Any thoughts?
And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
Luke 16:16
The law and the prophets [were] until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
