should CHRISTIANS OWN WEAPONS OR FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE SYSTEM?

[enoob57]

Satan loves to get us in a no win scenario .... however Christ has delivered us out of this world and it's overwhelming influence of making it more than what it is! It is a matter of where your priorities lie whether in the temporal or the eternal.

Give to Cesar what is Cesar's and obey those who rule over you.

I won't fight if the us govt tells the armed services to round up Christians but I will be prepared for a wanna be hood or career criminal who breaks into my home to harm me.

Should he force me to use my NRA approved tool of force,  I'd use it and if he was dying, I'd ask him to trust in Christ for forgiveness and as His Lord and Savior.

Life is but a vapor and everyone has until their last breathe to call on Jesus.

I'm prepared, not scared.

Sooo reason me this- Just HOW do you tell the difference between Caesar (a legitimate government) and a gang of thugs looking for protection money?

I have read scripture and the questions I had were answered.

Common sense tells me the criminals are dressed in regular clothes and the govt guys are outfitted to the max with tactical gear.

As far as if the govt is legit or not, I leave that up to God and do my best to vote in people who can do the most good for the country.

Legitimate government would have purchased body armor from your tax dollor to protect themselves from what you have to through at them.

That would be the Constitution of the United States of America.....    that is who rules over us and the parts that are not included in those documents are covered in each states constitution.....

And it is no single person or what any single person wants to do outside the authority given them by the Constitution.

And if you have been in the military, government job or most law enforcement that I am aware of,,,   you would have sworn or promised to defend that Constitution even with your life......

So I would remind those who have taken that oath not to take it lightly for God does not take lightly those who do not keep oaths.....

So BacKaran, by your own post you should give to the Constitution what is its own......    and not letting someone overthrow it would be in hand....   so are you going to live by your own suggestions. If you live in the United States you are commanded by God to follow and support the Constitution.

Ok, first off, why all caps? Do you really need to scream at us? So do is a favor please and lay off the caps.

 

Second off, I'll come out and just say it, I am a proud member of the NRA, I own multiple firearms, I have a concealed carry permit, and I do carry on a regular basis, as well as practice and train with them to be proficient with them.

 

As far as when I had them, I feel God has given me not only the right, but the responsibility to protect my family, even if it means using deadly force. I would seek a peaceful resolution at all costs and try to avoid being in a situation where I would have to use one, but I garentees you, if there was rioting in the streets and they were hurting people and it came down to them or my kids, I garentees it would be it will be them even if it means standing on my roof with my sks.

 

As far as a revolution against the government, I can't really say, whether I would actively participate or not. A lot would depend whobwas fighting the government, as in how much I liked and can support their cause, how much of a chance I thought they had, which route keeps my family the safest without compromising values, and most importantly, where God was leading me.

 

Jesus was not a pacifist. The Bible does allow Christians to own weapons and use them in specific situations. And, as a father, we are responsible for raising, leading, and protecting, our families. Different people do it different ways, and I won't fault a christian for not owning firearms, but for me I keep two things by my bed at night-a bible and a .45 ACP.

 

What makes you think that Jesus was not a pacifist?

which is what I said, give to Cesar what's is Cesar's and to God what is God's.

In the final analysis, I will follow God vs men as I pray all saved believers will do.

When did Jesus ever pick up a weapon?
