You are wrong! The Bible says they had a sword, not a GLOCK!! Because it does not specify firearms then we must not be able to own one !!!!
Ha! Right!
That is the logic of some anyway!
Everyday I'm surprised by various apostolic friends forum's posters.
TJJJ,
What if the bible reads they carried a sword and not a Glock? What does that prove? A sword was their only weapon of choice in that era. I'm sure the magistrate and Apostle Peter would utilize Glocks if they were in existence during their lifetime!
The fact is the magistrate utilized swords in that era:
Romans 13:4 (NIV)
For they are God's servants working for your good. But if you do what is wrong, you should be afraid, for it is not without reason that they bear the sword. Indeed, they are God's servants to administer punishment to anyone who does wrong.
If Jesus didn't mind Peter and the magistrate bearing swords (weapon of their time), Jesus wouldn't mind us utilizing pistols (weapon of our generation)!
Really, folks! What business does a peace loving Christian have owning a high capacity ASSAULT rifle!!! Who you gonna kill if I might ask? Your neighbor when he comes after your 7 year supply?
I just don't get how someone can feel comfortable owning one of those!
This great nation we have inheirited from our forefathers would not exist if they had this same out look, "What business does a peace loving Christian have owning a high capacity ASSAULT rifle!!!"
The minute men had the exact same bullet capacity in the rifles that gave us this nation as the rifles that attempted to prevent it's founding.

There have been accusations today that people don't think any more than they have to.

They had the best they could get and if they could have had better, they would have. What business does a peace loving Christian have owning a high capacity assault rifle? That's simple........to be on equal footing when the criminals who have them from the black market come after them!!! LOL

FYI: I own a 40 Glock, Model 27!
No, no! I must have came across wrong! I was laughingly using the approach that some use towards holiness in a rather feeble attempt to make a point.
Some say that because God does not specify things like cigs and pot and other sins that, obviously, because it was not there then it must be okay! I was trying to use the same logic but the other way thus the laughing face at the bottom! I am not against glocks.
Sorry for my comment being misunderstood!
I humbly apologize to all glock owners!!!! (Next time buy a Beretta)

If I was in Law Enforcement, I would have a Glock as my service weapon. I have fired them and they easy to use and quite accurate.
For my concealed carry I use a Keltec 9mm. It is a single stack mag and is the smallest 9mm made. Not as accurate as a Glock or even a Beretta, but it will get the job done within legal parameters!

Make MINE a KE (Kinetic Energy) rifle any day!
(KE Gun: A gun utilizing ultra-capacitors to power elector magnets used to accelerate a metal projectile to very high speed -usually in the several-miles-per-second range.)
Don't we have a near total ban on Narcotics and varius drugs? How well does that work. We have a ban on drinking and driving under the influence. That seems to be a waste of legal paper. Of course if all cars had all ignition systems wired into a breathelyzer, congress men would be grounded or be able to drive only with a chaffeur.
IF drinking and driving was not illegal there would be more folks doing it I am sure

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
Why would a Christian need a gun? I think it underscores a lack of faith. If you can trust God with your soul...you can trust him with your family's safety come what may. I think it's either lack of faith or an ego thing.
And no, I'm not for gun control. This is a spiritual question relating strictly to us Christians.
Why put gas in your car? I think that underscores a lack of faith and spiritual immaturity.
