Guns: The law says we may posess and use them for sustenance or self defense. So, Christian view is, it's the law, abide by it. Cheers! What does scripture say? Psa 82:3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. Psa 82:4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid [them] out of the hand of the wicked. Mat 17:27 "But so that we may not offend them, go to the lake and throw out your line. Take the first fish you catch; open its mouth and you will find a four-drachma coin. Take it and give it to them for my tax and yours." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did it for someone that is no longer active at Worthy, so I will close the topic as there's been no discussion over it, and the main reason for it's opening is no longer around.
