Yes, Blessed Are the Peacemakers


At the risk of giving what is holy and/or throwing pearls, the bible student in me is compelled to comment: as much as the accomplishments of Trump's peace accords are, this is not the peace nor peacemaker spoken of in Matthew 7:6.

I am not denigrating his accomplishment or his person but I have a hard time when Scripture is misquoted/applied. He will not be called "a son of God" because of his record.
That which is spoken of in Matthew 7 is concerning those who share the gospel and are used by God to reconcile sinners with a holy God, those who know the gospel are sons of God and thereby share the gospel with those in need of being reconciled.
Those who have been reconciled share the truth with those estranged from God and thereby are called the sons of God because they experience the favor/approval of God.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.
