I do.
God said once upon a time over 2000 years ago, buy a sword.
I'm to think today in 2021 he would say, guns aren't necessary?
KJV Revelation 13:10
10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

Matt. 15: 13 ... “Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up. 14 Let them alone; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.”


On IGNORE.

HahahaSMH. ON IGNORE because I disagree on the meaning of one text. If the people who are armed are that intolerant of even Christians who disagree with them, I would recommend to anyone stay out of their way.

Whoa there, Slick! Slow down, take a seat, let's talk :D

The "general consensus" in America Christians is not that everyone needs to own a gun. Not at all. Not even slightly.

You're leaping ahead here with wild assumptions that aren't based on any truth. We (meaning 99.9% of Americans) don't prefer civil war. Nobody here has lived through a civil war. Most Americans do not own guns. Gallup reported in 2019 that only about 1/3 of Americans own a firearm.
Yeah, well tell that to Bobby who reckons I'm a heretic to be ignored because I don't think Jesus has commanded all of Christianity to be armed.

There were similar restrictions here early on. People couldn't cross state lines. If they did they were required to self-quarantine at their own expense at local hotels, or motels. Silly really, since who is going to enforce that? What? They're going to have police at all border points to other states and pull over every single out of state tagged car?
But I think it was the reporting of this nonsense that was their point. Impart more fear into the masses. Just like when they reported that non-essential travel was forbidden. Even the local public buses had on their route signs, rather than the route listed the message, essential travel only.
Right! Who determines what is essential? I think all that was an social experiment to see how far they could push us before we snapped and pushed back. I don't think that's over yet either. Especially now in the wake of The Steal.
We'll see.

Not likely going to happen.
Where Did Gunpowder Come From? Humanity's Most Ironic Mistake - Blog

Really? One of the weapons of choice for the criminal element in Scotland are knives. Ever been knifed?

Swords provide opportunity for up close and personal killing. Just because it is easier to pull a trigger doesn't mean the homicidal criminal element would be deterred if swords were their only offensive weapon.
I would take a sword over a gun any day, a sword on display is better than an itchy trigger finger any day.

I am being very cautious about this virus even though i think i have it already, i'm not taking any chances, the people who engineered this in a lab in China are very smart and would have had their top scientists on it cooking it up, its not going to be an easy fix and they'll be working on even worse ways to kill, they are after all a communist country or 'mindless automatons' as i call them they don't have a conscience, they have cold dead hearts, no spirit.

A Year? Wait a few Days and see; then a few Months and see; and then a Half a Year and see; or wait a Whole Year.

Bible prophecy is given so that we shouldn't suffer loss. But if you're happy to suffer loss, then we all choose ...

With Very Best Regards,
Bobby Jo & Elam :)

This isn't about loss. It's about people saying "This WILL happen," and then it doesn't. The Word tells us not to trust such people, as they are false prophets. Even with good intentions sometimes. I have this issue with my mother. She is constantly telling me that she has a "word from God" about what I should do, or something that's going to happen. She's been proven wrong. Therefore, I don't trust her "words from God". If God wants to tell me something, He'll tell me. My mom is a wonderful, loving, faithful person. She's just imperfect. We all are. It's wise to use discernment with our fellow, fallible men.

As of now that is pure wishful thinking. Never a good thing. What we have seen this year is the death of both those things. The history of all nations headed by tyrants is that tyranny never lets up. Once evildoers have grabbed full control, that is the end of freedom, proper representation, and free and fair elections.

Election integrity has taken a hit, I agree. Corruption has been revealed on a whole new scale. But does that mean we *cannot* get it back? I don't think so.

What do you suggest, as a realistic, do-able path forward?

I was trying to be both actually. Humerous, to take the edge off the seriousness of the topic matter, and serious as well.



True. But what if it lasts longer than a week? Like say, six months?



Keep praying. Hard to figure the future the Dem's have laid out for us through stealing our election, the offices they entered through that device, is going to be positive.

Ive been trying to save back some things now. We live in an apartment though, so have to trust God we will still be able to be here or have a house if ever a major crises happens. I think I am just now beginning to understand my huge flaw in thinking in budgeting/finances. It took me long enough. But come a major crises like 6 months or something... Ill just have to trust God for provision for the family. No use worrying about things now. The Bible does say that God's people perish for lack of knowledge, but also rejection of knowledge. But He is also merciful and Jehovah Jirah!

ON IGNORE because you're ENDANGERING YOURSELF, YOUR FAMILY, and ANYONE WHO HEEDS DANGEROUS ADVICE. So "IGNORE" is a public REBUKE for DISOBEYING SCRIPTURE as though you were smarter than GOD.


Matt. 15:13 He answered, “Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up. 14 Let them alone; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.

...The Bible does say that God's people perish for lack of knowledge, but also rejection of knowledge. ...

So TRY NOT TO PERISH:

Lke 22:35 And he said to them, “When I sent you out with no purse or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.” 36 He said to them, “But now, let him who has a purse take it, and likewise a bag. And let him who has no sword sell his mantle and buy one.

#1. Firearms are used to provide meat.
#2. Firearms are used to provide protection.
#3. Firearms are used in "conflict" (war).​

Luke 22:36 suggests #2, where you'll also need a "PURSE" and a "BAG" to SURVIVE. And Hosea 4:6 suggests that you can choose NOT TO SURVIVE. :)

... "This WILL happen," and then it doesn't. ...
We use Reason, Judgement, Discernment, and Wisdom, -- no different than filling your gas tank before driving off into the sunset. And of course we also have Bible Prophecy which is as the blind man who said that MEN look like TREES, -- because we "see through a glass darkly". And finally we have Prophets.

With VERY Best Regards,
Bobby Jo

If you wish to be brutally honest with yourself, you must see that there is no path forward. When the entire government of the USA (including the Supreme Court and all the armed forces) have COLLUDED with a fraudulently elected president, it means that the ordinary citizen may no longer look for justice and integrity in any part of government.

The Supreme Court had a constitutional, moral, and legal responsibility to address the lawsuit brought against four states (Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin) by Texas and another 18 states. Here is what AG Paxton of Texas wrote:

“Trust in the integrity of our election processes is sacrosanct and binds our citizenry and the States in this Union together. Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin destroyed that trust and compromised the security and integrity of the 2020 election. The states violated statutes enacted by their duly elected legislatures, thereby violating the Constitution. By ignoring both state and federal law, these states have not only tainted the integrity of their own citizens’ vote, but of Texas and every other state that held lawful elections”.

This lawsuit was dismissed by SCOTUS in a cavalier fashion, and that sent a signal to every fraudster and criminal in the USA. The message was plain and simple: "The Constitution is dead, the rule of law is dead, and no criminals will be brought to justice".

I don't see how that relates directly to what I said :)

Then you believe "America" is over, and it's forward into a socialist tyranny until the end of time?
