    The Insanity of the "right" to have guns!

    No. He told the disciples that so as to fulfill prophecy in being numbered with the transgressors when Peter chopped off Malchus' ear (Which was all a part of his going to the cross). But even if we are to take this command literally for us today, the lesson of the sword was Non-Violence...

    The Insanity of the "right" to have guns!

    Let's read the context below. In the Berean Study Bible: Source: Luke 22 BSB In the King James Bible: Source: Luke 22 KJV Immediately after verse 36, when Jesus says the disciples to sell their garment if they have no sword, we see in verse 37 of how Jesus explains the reason why in...

    The Insanity of the "right" to have guns!

    First, in context: What was the purpose of the two swords being produced by the disciples? If you were to read the immediate context in Luke 22, it tells us the reason in the fact that the purpose of these swords was for Jesus to be numbered with the transgressors (i.e. to fulfill bible...

    The Insanity of the "right" to have guns!

    That really does not address anything I said. You posted a picture to elicit an emotional response out of me. Is the suffering of human life by injustice offensive to me? Yes. But there are things in life that are outside of my control. The Lord Jesus Christ has given me orders (in His...

    The Insanity of the "right" to have guns!

    First, readers here need to know about your falsely stated beliefs. By what you told me in another thread before, you fall into the classified liberal camp because you believe we come from apes (Evolution), you think the flood was local (regional), and you reject certain words (or portions) in...

    The Insanity of the "right" to have guns!

    Even murdering Islamic terrorists need to hear about God’s saving grace. Remember, Jesus said to love your enemies, and not to kill them.

    The Insanity of the "right" to have guns!

    I believe the two swords (and not a sword for each - which was not fulfilled) were only brought forth for the prophecy to be fulfilled. That’s the context. Jesus said it is enough. Obviously two swords are not enough for every single person to be supplied as He originally instructed. Once...

    The Insanity of the "right" to have guns!

    According to Bible history: God saved the Israelites from slavery. God saved Rahab and her household. God saved Peter out of prison by an angel. God saves not just one’s spirit, but He can save a person physically, too. Jesus said that snakes will bite them and they will not be harmed...

    The Insanity of the "right" to have guns!

    You are looking at things from a carnal or physical perspective. No country has any power to stand but by the power God gives to them so as to rule. Romans 9:17 “For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that...

    The Insanity of the "right" to have guns!

    I don’t make the rules. The Lord Jesus does. Jesus teaches Non-Violence. Before studying the Bible, I used to think Christians could defend themselves with Violence or Lethal force. But the Bible convinced me otherwise. So my position is a biblical one and not a leftist one or “I just want...

    The Insanity of the "right" to have guns!

    I would not classify myself in the left or liberal camp. I believe the King James Bible is the pure Word of God (Which liberals hate). I believe the Bible is our guide for all matters for faith and practice, but I believe in Non-Violence not because that is what I started off believing, but...

    The Insanity of the "right" to have guns!

    You are under the false impression that Non-Violence means we cannot resist and or pull our attackers off of another and or to pin another down in a way that does not cause them any lethal harm so as to tell those in one’s family to run. Why does everyone think Non-Violence means you do...

    The Insanity of the "right" to have guns!

    I agree that if every person in this nation became a Christian, and they were to follow the teachings of Jesus in being Non-Violent, we would be open to being conquered unless God intervened with a miracle to protect us. But the Lord knows not everyone will believe all of His words (like his...

    The Insanity of the "right" to have guns!

    My previous posts were unclear before. I was arguing before for the secondary spiritual meaning that applies to the church today. The point of the real physical swords is to fulfill prophecy, and there is no indication in the text that the swords were used as a lesson on self defense by...

    The Insanity of the "right" to have guns!

    My apologies for not being clear before. I went back and re-edited my posts for clarity. I believe the two swords are real. The purpose of the swords was to fulfill prophecy of Jesus being numbered with the transgressors. My point I wanted to stress before on the swords is there secondary...

    The Insanity of the "right" to have guns!

    If I had to choose, I lean more Republican, but I am not really into politics. I am simply into the Bible instead. The Lord Jesus and His followers taught Non-Violence. You will be hard pressed to find any verses in the New Testament that teach self defense by the use of lethal means. This...

    The Insanity of the "right" to have guns!

    I will let this Christian article hopefully provide a better answer than I can give. GO BUY A SWORD!” LUKE 22 AND CHRISTIAN GUNSLINGERS By: Preston Sprinkle Whenever I talk about Christians and violence, guns and self-defense, it’s inevitable that Luke 22 will come up. Supposedly, this...

    The Insanity of the "right" to have guns!

    I believe Christians will definitely be taken before God releases the really bad stuff (like the Trumpet and Bowl Judgments) (i.e. the Day of the Lord). But yes. I believe Revelation describes literal events mixed in with metaphor. Jesus will literally return, and set up a literal 1,000 year...
