CHRISTIANS, HOW DO u FEEL ABOUT HAVING WEAPONS?

DRO · December 2011

Guns, knifes, whatever for protection...?

Yes i believe in god and he will protect his people and whatever is gone happen, will. But i also belive in protecting yourself, your fam and home with weapons if need be.

Im sure if someone is fighting you, u aint just gone stand there and start praying, you done defend yourself and try to kick they ass right?

So do yall (christians) think it's anything wrong with having guns, ect?

Why would you think that Christians are against self defense?

VIBE · December 2011

I don't think any religious person should be allowed to have weapons, god just might "tell" them to do something. Religious people are unstable.

Just do what the scriptures say...

Matthew 5:38
Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.

And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.

Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

So you accept the fact that no god can miraculously save you from oncoming danger?
You're saying you have no faith in god to protect you?

It's simple. He doesn't exist

Lol if he had faith he would turn the other cheek.

The crucifixion was an extreme example of how humans 'nail' other humans to the 'cross' in persecution. The crucifixion was a symbol for the last useless journey people need to take, it represents release from fear to anyone who understands it.

Everyone has acted as if they were being crucified. This is a marked tendency of the 'separated', who always refuse to consider what they have done to themselves. Projection means anger, anger fosters assault and assault promotes fear. The meaning of the crucifixion lies in the apparent intensity of the assault of some of the Sons of God upon another. This of course should be fully understood this is impossible.

Assault can ultimately only be made on the body. There is no doubt that one body can assault or destroy another body. Yet destruction of the mind is impossible, therefore the bodies destruction does not justify the anger. So the message of the crucifixion was intended to teach that it is not necessary to perceive any form of assault in persecution, because you cannot be persecuted. If you respond with anger you must be equating yourself with the destructible and are therefore regarding yourself insanely.

This is why Jesus did not respond to them in their verbal words and bodily damage done to the body. Because they had in effect done nothing to him. And because he did not share in the worlds perception of persecution he did not strengthen it. If you react as if you are persecuted, you teach persecution. This is not a lesson you should want to teach to realize your own 'salvation'. Realize your own perfect immunity which is the truth in you and realize you cannot be assaulted.

With that being said, though that is the example to follow, and forgive them for they know not what they do, I don't know if I could contain my human tendency toward violence if push came to shove..

I have faith that any harm that comes my way that i will leave out as the victor and protect me and my family like Yah did for his people thousands of times in the scriptures and give the glory to him afterwards.

My ancestors owned weapons and so do I. Come around me or mines with ill intent, SMH

If you're a good Christian and you know you are followin the word of God then why do you fear death?
Youre gonna be goin to the holy kingdom for all eternity when you die so why sweat it?

I think deep down even most Christians believe that a lot of their beliefs are kinda silly..........

The Most High also gave common sense/a brain as well..if a person intends to do harm or intent to kill, why sit there and get taken out?

Nothing wrong with owning a gun depending on your intentions.

if you think you are going to a eternal heavenly kingdom after death then why are you not following this scripture below?

Matthew 5:38
Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.

And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.

Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

who wants to die?.. Like yeah, i know heaven is waiting on me, but who says " yep,im done on earth, pls kill me"
humans have fear and emotions.. So of course, if 100 ufc fighter were gonna jump you, wouldnt you get scared?

beenwize · December 2011

Clearly Christians really don't believe in the Bible... Lol

they're just indoctrinated and refuse to research past that book.

Rock Well · December 2011

What difference do it make what a Christian feels? Where does the Bible condemn the possessing of a weapon? It's not the weapon it's how it's used.

The Word of God is referred to as being a weapon itself in scripture and Christians are told to use it. But Negros don't feel that there.

Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

19 Or know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have from God? and ye are not your own; 20 for ye were bought with a price: glorify God therefore in your body. (1Co 6:19-20 ASV)

Not only are we to take care of our bodies and the life contained. We have an obligation to preserve the body and life of other people. Psalm 82:4 even cites an obligation to protect those who are in danger:

Psalm 82:4 Rescue the weak and needy; Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

Consider also Proverbs 24:11, which indicates we have a duty to preserve the lives of those who are harming themselves:

Proverbs 24:11 Deliver those who are drawn toward death, And hold back those stumbling to the slaughter.

Ezekiel 33 is a well-known passage:

Ezekiel 33 "... 6 'But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and a sword comes and takes a person from them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require from the watchman's hand.'

If you know danger is coming to others, and you deliberately fail to warn the others of the danger, you are guilty of harming the victims. This is not to say that you can make people heed your warning. The surrounding verses also say that if the people refuse to heed the warning of the watchmen, the watchman is not guilty if they are harmed.

I never said anybody wants to die... I said WHY FEAR death?

I don't think Christ walked around sayin "damn I hope I don't get crucified today" lol

Humans have fear and emotions
Humans also have envy, hate, and anger... which are emotions that you aren't supposed to give in to

so why give in to fear.....
if 100 UFC fighters are about to jump you, use God as your shield... he'll protect you in this world and the next as long as you have faith

so it may be safe to say that if you fear DEATH, then your faith in God needs to be a tad bit stronger

People who fear death are the same people who would deny Jesus in the face of persecution

also fearing death does not keep death from knoccin on your door
fearing 100 UFC is not gonna keep them from goin up in yo azz

if you fear death then maybe you are insecure and unsure of which direction you might actually be goin when you die
