This is for RevRandy, who was complaining that we aren't meeting our quota of controversies today.
If your wife, child, or mother were being physically threatened or assaulted by a person with a deadly weapon, and you had a gun, what would you, as a praying, tithe-paying, church-attending, Holy-Ghost-filled Apostolic believer do?

Personally, if someone were harming my family, I would prefer to dismantle and tear them from limb to limb with my bare hands...more gratification that way.
It isnt that I want to kill. It is just that I want to protect....permanantly.
No, trust me, God put in us an anger and vengeful quality when it comes to protecting our family, not only physically, but spiritually and emotionally.
Some people don't understand this, especially the women.
The number 1 concern of all good Apostolics is reaching out to souls so they can attain heaven and avoid hell.
Choices 4 through 7 are scenarios where an Apostolic is sending a sinner straight to hell. Are you guys sure that's Christian?
Are you? ....since you chose #5 and all....
