How sick and wrong these movies are? Wow! It's a family movie. It was the very first movie I saw in the theater at age six. The GIF above shows what happens if you pull a sword in front of someone with a gun. You're dead! It's funny you say that these movies are sick and wrong, yet you use a movie in the same trilogy to try and prove a point. That's hypocrisy at its finest!
I watched these movies before coming to Christ. So I know what they are about. As I said, they mix in sinful things along with some good things. The truly good things they do in the movies is still good, but its wrong to continue to watch these movies because of the sinful things promoted within them. So no hypocrisy involved. I am merely using your own playbook to help you to see.
You said:What I believe is that while God protects me and my family, others have free will just as much as I do and they will use that free will to kill people. I see you conveniently ignored my comment when I said I have seen first hand what happens when someone doesn't protect themselves or their family. I have seen dead people who according to eyewitnesses were praying right before the gunmen killed them. I have seen a family destroyed because the mother and father were praying while they were being robbed and one or both were killed. I have seen the effects of rape because the woman said she prayed that the rapist would stop and he continued on raping her.
No. You believe God protects you sometimes otherwise you would not need a gun.
As for the accounts of what you have stated:
While it is truly unfortunate that these things have happened, I don’t think all people are truly following God. Some may think they are doing so, but most today are doing their own thing. Many today are justifying sin, and so when people sin, this leads to their prayers not being answered.
John 9:31 says,
“Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.”
Jesus said,
“…they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”
So those who worship the Lord Jesus in spirit, and truth will be protected and have their prayers answered.
It’s not the person who keeps God at arms length while they do their own thing in life and justify sin. They only pray when they need something desperately, or when a real problem arises. They don’t pray to God so as to love Him, and make Him an every day part of their life.
You said:Does God choose to protect some, sure, but not all. We have a duty to protect our loved ones, whether you want to believe that or not. We have a duty to protect the innocent if it is within our power to do so.
I am not against protecting the innocent if it is in the confines of our mission orders of Christ.
Non-Violence (i.e. to do no physical harm or injury or to kill) does not mean “do nothing.” I believe that a Christian can run, use physical tactics that are not harmful to stop their attacker, or to escape.
You said:I will not allow someone else's free will to destroy my family because some Christians think the Bible says we shouldn't defend ourselves based on their faulty interpretation of scripture!
So not all things work together for good for you according to Romans 8:28.
Angels just sometimes can protect you according to Psalms 91:10-12.
Please show me where these portions of Scripture provides a clause of exception?
Maybe there is a verse or passage in another part of God’s Word that explains this?
