Machine Gun Preacher
anyone here seen the movie? It is based on a true story of a drug dealing biker who converts in an assembly of God church and a preacher prophesies that he will go to africa. In the movie, he is baptized in Jesus name. He starts an orphanage in southern sudan and is soon drawn into the war with the north. He takes up arms to protect children. Great story about the line between pacifism and militarism. I loved it. Here is the trailer.

Titus2woman on AFF
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"

Re: Machine Gun Preacher
Go you therefore into all the world and kill as many as you can.
When a man smites thee on thine check, beat him into the ground.
If a man sues thee, burn down his house in the night.
If you neighbor has something against you, go to your neighbor and curse him out.
If any man asks you to walk a mile with him, tell that man he is nuts.
It is OK to lie if it will help someone.
Drink the wine while it is red before someone else does.
Steal if your children are hungry.
It's OK to cheat on your wife as long as she does not know.
Believe anything you what and bring it into your house.
Fellowship with the ungodly, maybe something from you will wear off on them.
Sorry, I was just make believeing inthe world.

would you still be a bible believing, sermon on the mount pacifist if someone killed your parents, raped your wife, kidnapped your children to be used as sex slaves? your self righteous hypocrisy is nauseating. this is the reality of the movie and the real life situation in sudan.

Only if it was someone else's parents, wife, or children. It is EASY to forgive someone who kills, or rapes, them.

Are you saying one could not obey Jesus Christs teachings? Would it be self righteous hypocrisy if one did?
