Now if you have the Holy Ghost, you don't need a gun.

Trust Jesus or trusty Guns?

With Demons I trust Jesus, with man I trust Colt.

THIS is what Jesus calls his new testament church to (Love)

So I ask again, can one fulfill the scripture by loving their enemy, blessing the one cursing you, doing good to the one hating you, and praying for the one despitefully using and persecuting you.....................and at the same time blow them away with a shotgun??

Sure I can. In fact, I have a neighbor right now that has been driving me nuts with his antics. Have I gone over there and rearranged the shape of his head for beating on my door? Nope. Have I wanted to? Yup. Why didn't I? Cause the Bible says to love my enemies, bless them that hate me, and to pray for them which despitefully use and persecute me. If he beats my door down and attacks my family, I'm gonna introduce him to my Louisevile Slugger.

Nope. I am a realist, and I believe in free will. God doesn't override the will of man. Demons he has authority over man he has given choices, God is a gentleman he doesn't force anyone.

That is the simple point.

Notice I did not say you can't own a gun.

No Brother. He has suggested we are like the sons of Sceva, who did not have the Holy Ghost. I've been around these forums long enough to know an insult when I see one, Brother. I was born at night, but not tomorrow night.

Well, I have seen him intervene and persuade people!

I didn't take that way-but that is just me.

As far as me, I have only known the Lord for a little over 25 years.

In that time I have failed him--but not once has he failed me!
