You've no idea what you're talking about.

On the contrary, I have the entire Bible talking in my behalf.
You, on the other hand, have no support for your clinging to this world.

Interpolating scripture is insulting God's breath. That doesn't place scripture on your side.

Rather, it is evidence you cannot accept all of what is written as messaged to the world, because it does not comport with your corrupt politic.

And so you cobble it together in fragmented excised pieces in order to make your preferred point.

I have no problem with someone who happily offers their throat to the sword of their enemy.

Just don't expect respect for insisting I should agree to that posture else I am not of God.

No interpolation on my part. Romans 13 and 1 Peter 2 are pretty clear.
What I see is people who so value their own individualism (another form of idolatry) that they posture and rely on their weapons to keep their individualism. Until God opens your eyes, I expect none of you will see what is so obvious to those around you.

I do not deny that God is the Supreme Government and has all authority to kill us wretched rebels and cast us into the Lake of Fire.
You, as an individual, however, are never given that authorization.

What you are doing is called vigilantism and God never supports vigilantes.

Hmmm

 

[Earth Wind and Fire]

No?!? I guess the guy my cousin threw from the roof might want to reconsider selling drugs in a college campus to kids then. Note we did take him to the hospital after that … never saw him again!

Guess that’s called tough love LOL

You love to make unsupported accusations. I would say you should try to be logical but that is something that you have shown you can not be. You keep saying God said this or that but you refuse to accept what He actually did say:

Mat_26:52 But Jesus said to him, "Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword.
Those who live by violence {the sword} will most likely die by violence.

Luk_22:36 Then He said to them, "But now, he who has a money bag, let him take it, and likewise a knapsack; and he who has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one.
Those that do not have a means of self defense should acquire one. This does not give us license to attack people, which you keep alluding to.

You do not seem able to grasp the difference being shown here. What you have shown is that you have a very narrow and selective view of scripture.

Thats classic Stocism!

This has been addressed by me already. No need to rehash because you haven't read the whole thread. These verses are flimsy arguments for gun use especially in light of Jesus comment to Peter to put away his sword and in light of the non-violent nature of the early church. In other words, you are grasping for straws.

It's called illegal vigilantism that could have seen you legally prosecuted. You are trying to make the ends justify the means using humanist relativism as your reasoning.

In your experience how does that comport with our faith?

Actually I have read the whole thread. I just was hoping that you actually might see the light of truth in the bible but you refuse as per usual.

Prove it. With true , contextually true, scripture.

LOL! I provided all of Romans 13 and 1 Peter 2, plus multiple other passages. Just admit that if Jesus appeared himself and commanded you, you would argue against him. The scripture shows you that you are a foreigner here so what are you fighting for?

The unfortunate thing is that the more we have tried to show you the error in your thinking the more resolute you have become in your view. You feel you have to defend your view at any cost but then I have noted that in other posts you have made.

The unfortunate thing is that you are wrong continually and won't accept your error. Perhaps you all should meet with your guns drawn and see who wins...

Firstly, you're a Liberal.
Secondly, with consistency you post as a Contrarian. I believe your purpose is not serious respectful exchange but rather your purpose, intent, is to goad members.
