Hi, I've already prayed but I'll pray some more.

I'm easy to get along with, especially on this forum. I either let everyone have their way or they keep on arguing.

Thanks patriot. Next time I want your observation, I'll ask for it.

Do you have any Scripture to back that up? I won't discuss guns with you but I will discuss your interpretation of Scripture concerning Christians with guns.

I don't know why Christians want to talk about killing people. I would think time would be better spent talking about Jesus and loving people instead of killing people. I can't believe this killing thread is more popular than all the other threads.

I just wrote a response to "Once saved always saved" and as I was doing a self-edit, my page disappeared and brought me to the thread "Vatican: Jews can be saved without Christ". I tried to get back but the post was gone. Now sometimes these things happen but I've only been here a little more than a week and I've heard several complaints about the same thing happening to others. If you can't get a handle on the forum than there's no reason to stay here.

Bravo! Standing up for the truth!

Is believing in God what matters? Muslims believe in God. Hindus believe in God(s). I know people (yes) who think Ronald MacDonald is God. So what? It's people who have a personal loving relationship with Jesus Christ that makes a difference. I wouldn't know how to measure that. Do you? Have the fruits of the nation ever reflected that of Jesus Christ?

I have no idea what you just said.

I think the purpose of the passage is to get us to look at ourselves and our own relationship with Jesus rather than look at a group of Christians that believe in a doctrine differently than you.

Why do you keep asking questions and never give any answers?

Shiloh! You don't like me. Now you've hurt my feelings. I'm sorry. I didn't realize how badly I hurt your ego. I'll try to improve myself, if it's possible.

I'm new here but it sounds like you own threads. I didn't know you owned this place and you win no matter what. Sorry, I'll just try to avoid you the rest of my life.

Okay, game's over. Shiloh wins again. Now please go away little boy.

Let's see, 31,215 posts. Yes, I guess that would qualify you for having an answer for everything.

This is just my opinion, but I believe there are many so-called experts out there that really need to study the Bible more and speak their opinions less.

Did you say the Bible doesn't tell us everything? Did God forget to tell us what to do in time of distress? Psalm 120:1; "In my trouble I cried to the Lord, and He answered me". The Apostle Paul tells us all through all of his letters as to how we should live our lives. If using weapons for self-defense is not addressed, then maybe there is a reason for it. Maybe he tells us to do other things instead. In my opinion, if a person says "the Bible doesn't tell us everything", then I believe that person should spend more time studying the Bible and less time expressing their opinions.

That's it, shoot first and ask questions later. I know that's in my Bible somewhere. Or maybe my Bible doesn't have all the answers to life.....

While I do not own a firearm, there is nothing in Scripture to prevent Christians from taking precautions to protect themselves from predators. In the old days it was American Indians (I believe the politically correct term now is *indigenous people*). Today we have Jihadists and other crazies. I'm one of those rare idealistic Christians. I put my trust in Jesus. Funny thing. In doing so, God has kept violence away from me and my wife the whole time (30 years). You may ask, "what would you do if someone was trying to rape your wife and children and then cut their heads off?". My answer would be, "It's time to move to a new neighborhood". I'm serious, I cannot imagine myself being violent.

Are you trying to say the American Indians needed weapons to protect themselves from the crazy war monger white people? Then yes, you are correct. Otherwise, what are you talking about?

What is this freedom you teach the younger generation? Please do tell.

Well, I can't argue with that.

Well, I can't argue with that. I guess I have to join your bandwagon.

2 Corinthians Chapters 8-9 are talking about giving money to those in need within the church. I don't see how it can be read any other way. So if the money you give the local church pays a pastor's salary and administration costs, such as upkeep of the building and grounds, and a mortgage, then these chapters really do not apply.

Hi coheir, what are you saying? That you believe a certain way, and whether you are right or wrong, you're not moving?
