Featured As a citizen of the USA, do you feel safe?

I realise that you asked that we don't give a spiritual answer, but in reality that is all I have. My feeling of safety has never been dependent on who was president, who controlled Congress, or even what country I live in.

So yes as an American citizen I do feel safe. As an Irish citizen I do feel safe. Why? Because I am a citizen of heaven and that is where I look for protection.

I never had looked to human government for my protection. Why would I start now?

 

Since you qualified the question with the "As a Citizen of the U.S.A" bit, are you asking about crimes committed by immigrants?

 

What he's really trying to ask is if you feel like Obama in office has kept you safe or makes you feel safe. Naas's answer is where Christians should be. But the original poster likes to reject what Christ says and look for his own answers. Let him keep running scared and beating his head.

 

The question was given in a poll announced on the news last night and 72% did not feel safe.

 

I feel safe.

 

Me too.

 

I feel safe. As C4K mentioned, my home isn't this world and if I am taken from here there is a greater reward awaiting.

I'm more worried about crazy white males carrying guns they don't fully comprehend the consequences of operating than I am anything else. But I'm not afraid of them either.

 

I'm good and safe.

 

I imagine those folks in San Bernardino felt safe right up until those terrorists walked back in and did their thing. Most likely their community was a lot like so many other communities around the country and they had no reason to expect such a tragic event in theirs. Since we live in a world where these things can and do occur in the most unexpected places I do not believe it is as much a matter of feeling safe as it is a matter of having peace in the midst of turmoil.

Godly peace is not a result of an ideology that says we should not fear a people of a religion because of some warped sense of justice. It does not come because of a political ideology that shames any view that sees some cultures as a threat to others physical being. True peace comes from God when you are in the midst of the storm. Finding that peace does not come from politics, politicians, ideologies, debates, or weapons. It comes from intimately knowing God and nothing else.

 

Zaac- No offense intended, but I would prefer read RD2's answer. Yours, I suspect, is intended to provoke another round of bickering between you two.

 

There is a WORLD OF DIFFERENCE in "being afraid", and "not feeling safe"!
Trying to make the two equivalent is nothing more that a cheap shot at the poster --a common tactic for some who spout faux Christian rhetoric on this board!!FrownFrownFrown

 

Now I do!...btw... Where am I?... I'm hiding in the center!... A mans gotta have protection!... So I called a band of my brothers... Brother Glen... All kidding aside this is the only way I feel safe!

Romans 14:8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.

Lol. You can suspect what you want to. My response was in reference to what I see him doing.

 

And my suspicion is based on what I have seen you do.
