Was I giving you my “opinion” or was I showing you what God’s word says? I think it’s rather obvious…
Try your excuses on the one who is appointed to judge all of us……You have have ignored a lot of scripture in order to keep your weapons…..man’s laws can contravene God’s laws and the apostles showed us whose laws must come first. (Acts 5:27-29)
Amazing the depths that people will sink to to justify the unjustifiable.
There is no law to prohibit hunting for food. There is no law of God specifically related to the use of weapons……my Grandson has a license for his guns.…..a knife has multiple uses, so does a hammer….most of them are good, but if someone uses a knife or a hammer to murder someone, then it’s not the weapon, but the person using it for evil purposes.…same with guns.
What God’s law does speak about specifically, is the taking of human life. (Gen 9:4-6) So owning or using a weapon designed exclusively to take human life, such as packing a handgun or using weapons designed to kill humans ‘en masse’ (bombs, bazookas, ICBM’s, IED’s, etc)….these could not possibly have God’s sanction, though they surely have man’s. Have you noticed how heinous weaponry has become in these last days?
Understood and admired .....What scripture applies that says throw away your weapons?
Where did the Bible stand when David used a sling shot to slay the giant? Plenty of evidence in the Bible that proves we are not to go on bended knee when facing a threat or enemy .......
