Being a Christian has a price. A price many aren't willing to pay anymore.
The scriptures are conspicuosly silent on Yeshua's disciples doing violence.

Do you really think someone WOULD have burglarized Jesus' home?

Pennsylvania Ave uses guns to protect them, but the people who pay for their protection cannot have them.

Wonder why?

Re: Guns: An Important Discussion

I have given many things away.

The point is why is the second amendment under attack?

For two hundred plus years, we did not have such violence we have now. So taking away of the guns will not curb that violence. It has not in Great Briton. People are now getting bashed by baseball bats after they even took away butcher knives.

I'm afraid that we will not get to the root cause of why we have such violence.

Even during the great depression there was not a violence to the people such as is now displayed. End times.

Re: Guns: An Important Discussion

A martyr is one who dies for their faith.

It is not someone who dies not defending their family from a violent criminal bent on mayhem.

I seriously do not think a man will get extra credit points before the great thrown of judgement because he let some murdering rapist kill him and rape his wife instead of putting a bullet in the bad guys brain.

I also dont think a man will lose brownie points for blowing a bad guy away who just broke into his home with murderous intent.

It is one thing to die for Christ. It is an entirely different thing to allow the innocent to be molested so you can say you are a pacifist.

we used to deal with the criminally insane. Now they have rights that protect them from their faimlies and from their doctors and from their medicine.

...just saying...

Re: Guns: An Important Discussion

Millions of American children have been brutally murdered at the hands of American "Doctors". Where is the TOTAL OUTRAGE!

Why is the President and Congress not moving to ban the horrific shedding of innocent blood?

It is ACCEPTABLE in the USA. America has become an evil nation. It is a nation that would elect a Communist as its president who once voted that IF a child should survive an abortion attempt it must be killed.

The Government is setting up the perfect storm for the greatest persecution against Christians ever. If you understand this now it will help you later to not be offened.

The scriptures must be fulfilled.
