Legacy with baseball. If you look at ball parks, they are mostly empty nowadays. No generational transfer of enthusiasm. While I agree hockey is part of the Big 4 sports in America, it is a distant 4th.

There is a commercial in the States for beer at a bar showing Americans winning the world cup. When I saw it, I immediately inferred the Left would go wild, not wanting such an accomplishment to be on Trump's watch. That's how un-American they are. Soccer isn't big in the US for the same reason...

Egoism is the principal that all action is taken for the benefit of the one doing the action. To whose glory is divine power used?

Can anyone imagine the opposite scenario where people from Canada, US, UK, Sweden go to Somalia, Iran, Chad and are put up at government expense at their finest establishments?

Not an answer to my questions or address any of the points I made. Keep taking Scripture out of context. That's a sign one is not ready for the meat.

Except millions of Christians over the centuries showed otherwise, including the Crusaders. Jesus said to buy a sword. Did you do that much? Jesus will return armed (Rev 19:15 Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword) and not merely be ready but will kill. He will rule them with a rod of iron...

Is Paul your Lord and Savior? Not an answer to my question. Reveals that you know your position cannot hold up to scrutiny. If Paul jumped off a bridge, would you? John the Baptist did not drink alcohol but Jesus did. Where not all supposed to go down the same path. Worst of all, you continue...

Good but there you go again with the self hate. Teachers lives are not less important than the students they protect. Of course, I would not oppose it. What other persecution do you tacitly advocate for; race, sex, tribe? Not all with eye see. What is you aversion to the right to life, that...

Yes, it can be. Just because something can be an IDOL doesn't mean it is. It's the same with a weapon. I can use a hammer to drive nails or as a weapon. I've seen people use the Bible as an IDOL, reminding them that we are not saved by parchment.

Not protection for self but others? The apparent self hate shown by some in this thread is appalling. Christ did not die just for others; he died for you. You are loved by God (not just others). The idea that anyone would tell another to be armed for reasons other than primarily self protection...

Confusing behavior with paths. It is not cojones but foolishness to follow someone else’s path. The entire basis of WWJD applies his behavioral principles and spirit to new paths.

No one said they are in conflict. In harmony. Limited. It means the same thing in practice.

I think it was @PS95 who talked about being a martyr for Christ and I referenced a young lady at Columbine who was given the choice deny Christ or die. I hope I have her courage. Having said that, I don't believe that is the crux of Christ's command to buy a sword but general defense of the...

Perhaps even a third axis of rotation; do Christian’s have the right to defend themselves, generally, and not just specifically in response to persecution.

That's because you have things backwards. The noun is war. We are in a state of war. What form it takes, what adjective you want to use (physical or spiritual) is secondary. Rest assured, war happens in all forms possible. The goal of war is death and destruction and the combatants are Good v...

Because we have thoroughly feminized Jesus today, the question has to be answered in the context that Jesus is the ultimate example of masculinity other than God the Father. It’s highly masculine to submit to authority as Jesus did with his Father’s will be done. In this context, it’s hard to...

I would say we have enough given where there is freedom, there is the spirit of the Lord. Freedom means being able to do all that is not prohibited. Slavery is doing only that which is explicitly allowed. Having a sword is not merely allowed but commanded. And the reason is obvious.

Not an answer to my questionS. Plus this question has already been answered. @PeterAndroz, you're too obtuse for me. Make a Blessed Day.

Never heard of a run away slave?

Why not ask where does Christ through Paul teach this on a Tuesday on a full moon when the tide is out? Why be so open to consider only what Paul wrote? Jesus himself has much to say on the topic. Is Paul your lord and savior that you give his words more weight than Christ? With Paul's...
