Thank you for reminding me just how sick and wrong these kinds of movies are.
Before coming to Christ: I grew up liking these kinds of movies. Now that I have studied the ways of Christ, I can see just how dark and evil these kinds of movies really are. In the third Indiana Jones film, while it appears to have some religious themes, Indiana Jones and his father both have intercourse (fornication) with the same woman. So it mixes in sin with what one believes is good. That’s the deception of worldly movies that many today love.
If you were to follow this thread, and everything I said, you will know that I am not against Christians hunting with guns. I am not a hunter and so gun ownership for me is kind of pointless. I think many who follow the ways of Christ involving Non-Violence would probably think the same way. But it is not exactly wrong for a Christian to have a gun for hunting for food. Otherwise we could not reap the benefits of eating meat. I merely said that I would rather have a sword instead of a gun because that is closer to the instructions of our Lord in following what He said if that is something indeed we are to obey. Do you even know what Luke 22:36 says? Did you ponder its meaning? I would have to say I did not until the discussion within this thread. I can only encourage you to do the same in prayer with the Lord. Think of how the swords were used after this instruction.
Read Matthew 26:47-56.
1. Jesus told him to put his sword back in it’s place.
2. Jesus warned Peter that he that lives by the sword will die by the sword.
3. Jesus said that He could have asked the Father for thousands of angels to protect Him if He wanted.
4. Jesus undoes Peter’s damage in that he chopped off Malchus’s ear (Note: Jesus did not say, “Good job Peter! That’s why I told you to take up your sword. Now, chop off his other ear!”).
As for protection for your family:
Well, protection for your family is not carnal (physical) if you believe God is in control of all things. Romans 8:28 says all things work together for good to those who love God. All things (bad or good) work together for good to those who love God. That’s what Romans 8:28 is saying. You don’t believe that all things work together for good to those who love God because you believe bad and unfortunate things can happen to you outside of God’s good plans. It’s why you think you need a gun to protect yourself.
Here is another one in Scripture. Psalms 91:10-12. Do you truly believe angels protect you? If so… then what need of you have for a gun? So it really comes down to you believing the Bible. Do you believe these things in Scripture? If so… you have no need of a gun. If you don’t believe these things in Scripture, then you need a gun. It really is that simple. It’s like in the parable of the sower. You must receive the seed of the Word of God into your heart in order to have joy (to see what it says). For even Indiana Jones had to step out in faith into chasm, and when he did, he was able to then see he was walking on an invisible bridge. But if he never took that step of faith, he would have never been able to cross over the chasm. You take it by faith that nobody is going to swerve into your lane and kill you when you drive. Do you seek to buy a crash resistant vehicle? What about if you take a flight? Do you take a parachute and a portable oxygen mask? What about a situation where you are outnumbered by a large gang of men with guns whereby you cannot possibly get them all? Do you seek to build an Iron Man suit?
