Originally posted by sonhouseHaving a gun to defend myself and my family does not mean I live in fear. I just feel that I need to stand up and support the rights and freedoms of all those that might wish to choose to have the opportunity to defend themselves with a firearm, if the need happens to arise. You are not against the right to choose life over death are you? This has nothing to do with the right to choose an abortion, but I would choose the right of the baby to live, myself.
My dad was killed with a firearm, my mom shot, my stepdad shot where they had a little mom and pop grocery store. My dad did have a gun so did my step dad. The gang that came in and robbed them just came in shooting. It wouldn't matter WHAT kind of weapon you have if that happens.
No I don't have a firearm. I don't happen to live in fear. You live in fear, the bad guys have already won. I refuse to give them the satisfaction.

Originally posted by stellspalfieI do too. But since we have guns, there is no reason not to have one as a backup. There was no guns to be had by Jesus. However, He did recommend a sword to his disciples. Perhaps they would have lasted longer, if they had taken His advice.

Originally posted by RJHindswhy does jesus advise them that two swords would be enough? jesus and his follwers never actually carry swords, how do you responsible your attitude towards guns with this.

What about thou shalt not kill?
Love thy neighbour?
Turn the other cheek?
You're a plastic christian RJ.
You're not a real christian.
The Amish would be more christian than you.
You're a hypocrite with a Bible in one hand and a gun in the other.
Originally posted by johnnylongwoodyI did not kill my neighbor, but instead I showed him love by turning the other cheek. But the enemy that comes to steal and kill, that is a different matter. Why must a Christian act like a coward toward his enemy. David was no coward, when he cut off the head of Goliath, the enemy of Israel and God.

Originally posted by RJHindsSo you see no reason to be scared of something that you do not believe exists, and you give no creedence to attempts to persuade you of it's danger.
Are you serious? I thought you were kidding, so I was going along with it and kidding you back. No, I am not scared of an imaginary white horse with a long yellow horn growing out of its head. You seriously could not believe that. 😀
Yet you persist in trying to persuade us of the dangers of a lake of fire that we don't believe exists, and you wonder why we give your advice no credence.
How can you so completely fail to understand something so simple RJ?

Originally posted by johnnylongwoodyYou are not a Christian nor are you without sin yourself, so what makes you think you have any right to judge me as a Christian? Jesus said, "There shall be wars and rumors of wars..." 😏

Originally posted by sonhouseThat is because others have used a gun to fight and die to protect all our freedoms. But you cocky, arrogant, S.O.B. don't appreaciate none of it. Neither do you appreciate Christ suffering a crucifixion death to pay for all our sins.

Originally posted by RJHindsPlease explain then why the comparison is not valid? Why is your lack of fear of unicorns and goblins (due to your lack of belief in their existence) more understandable than our lack of fear of a lake of fire (that we similarly do not believe exists)?

Why do you expect us to fear a lake of fire, when you do not fear unicorns and goblins?
