If a bullfrog had wings he wouldn't bump his tail every time he hopped.

Let me help you out here. First thing the "one" rapist would have to get passed me. No violence, I never had to use violence with an unruly child.
In the world I never had to beat the snot out of an individual to remove them from the bar. Even when they were angry and wanted to rip my head off, I always was able to escort the individual WITHOUT harm. Now since I'm among the defenseless Christians I see that through prayer the Lord Jesus Christ will protect my family and see them all the way through.

I totally understand that my wife and children are in the arms of Jesus Christ.
I totally understand that I'm not allowed to use deadly force no matter what. Since I depend on Jesus to be able to take care of the rest then that's all I will have.

Now my question for you my Brother is this, if a gang attacks your family what will you do? Think about it real well before you answer me.

Also to you carry a handgun?

To quote a Brother: "If a bullfrog had wings he wouldn't bump his tail every time he hopped."

Prayer is always the right and first option, deadly force is the option of last resort.

As to whether I "carry" or not is between me and Jesus, and the State......:sshhh

Just to ease your mind a bit, I have actually been assualted and did not lift a hand to stop it. I was told I could have used deadly force and been justified in the eyes of the Law. But I can not see killing a young man over things I consider trivial. I let him walk away and did not persue the matter. Some questioned me for that, I did not, because I did not want my name to be n the public record where if he came after me or my family and I might not have as much of the Holy Ghost and actually kill him,

The words of Jesus and His apostles were clear that we couldn’t repay evil with evil. I was raised around people who carried, and in their homes had enough weaponry to take on a Soviet attack. Some of these individuals met their fate in sorry ways. I have been in situation right down the block from my house and had a group of gang members try to rob me and walked right through the middle of them. I have gotten into altercations in other parts of Fort Lauderdale and Miami and have always had the Lord take full control. I have had criminals bang on my door at 3 o'clock in the AM and the Lord takes over again.

Jesus said if you were hit on one side of your face to are to offer the other also, which means very plainly that you are to offer the attacker full chance to hit you not only with the open palm, but also with the back of the hand.

It's in the book as plain as Acts 2:38 and the churches have a harder time with that than Trinitarians with Matthew 28:19


Lord love you and your family Elder.

In Jesus name

Brother Benincasa
