Jeremiah, quoted above disproves your theory about violence under the OT being permissible today.
Jesus clearly says “Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but y…

You cannot support your position on either count from the NT. If you recall, Jesus' Kingdom WAS of this world under the Old Covenant. But some big changes came along under the New Covenant. Not only did it replace ALL of the Old. Jesus…

““Indeed, a time is coming,” says the LORD, “when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and Judah.It will not be like the old covenant that I made with their ancestors when I delivered them from Egypt. For they violated that covena…

Jeremiah clearly says the NT replaces the OT. And unless the NT imports any of the OT, we use it only as a commentary and history. The NT forbids violent self-defence.

It is not cherry picking to support a view. It would be much easier to trust in violence rather than God. But I cannot, based on the NT replacing the OT. And not one shred of evidence in the NT permitting violent self-defence.

Abraham had 300+ soldiers unrelated to him. And one blood relative Ishmael his son. All became Abraham's covenant seed through circumcision.
The non relatives remained as his covenant seed but Ishmael his son did not after his …

I think they are all good points. But I think "Evangelicalism" is giving itself a black eye supporting either party. And it already is coming back on the churches as being as sleazy as the politicians they support.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not looking to debate but trying to learn how you support your views from scripture. As a pacifist, I believe the NT supersedes the OT except where the NT imports portions for our use. And I cannot use the NT …

Every Jew is born a gentile. It was circumcision and membership in the community that made one a Jew.

No, I'm showing that both groups are insane by biblical standards.

If the lunatick can justify using an assault rifle on the masses, certainly these not so crazy can justify using them too.
Why do they want these weapons of war if they do not plan to use them that way - once they or the lunati…

Why would I go shopping with a bulldozer? Or hunting with an assault rifle (using the commonly understood definition)?
If you have a gun designed to kill people in great numbers, you are evil and will use it for that purpose if…

That's OK. But hunting has everything to do with how people need guns for purposes other than hunting. It shows evil intent on the owners of any gun designed for the mass extermination of human beings.

But why do you want assault weapons, designed only for the mass killing of human beings kept legal? Pretending they will not be used that way?

But, it comes back to a "well regulated militia" where this would be extremely rare. And what we have today, an "unregulated militia".
Besides, why don't you want laws that lessen killing instead of present laws that insure it …

Doesn't less lead = less dead?

If changes in abortion laws would = less innocent death, why do you oppose changes in gun laws that would save more lives?

Why are so many needlessly dying if current laws do not allow for this?

(Quote)
What I'm saying is if we "take aim" on less innocent lives being lost, instead of bolstering laws that allow for the mass killing of innocent lives, we will begin to move in the right direction.

If we pass laws that result in fewer deaths of innocent people, what's the problem?

(Quote)
Great idea! I think if we can stand behind laws that lead to less killing of innocent people, we will find harmony on both sides of the gun and abortion issues.
As I see it, the Dems shout "kill babies, not students!".…

What we have for a "militia" is Unregulated, if it means military grade weapons can fall into the wrong hands. And the NRA does not want it to change.

I'm neither Right or Left but I think the student murders are driving people to whatever party is saying the right things now. That is, I don't think any of the kids were polarized either Right or Left until this last catastrophe happe…

If we understand where Christianity and Judaism came from and how they relate to each other historically, we can better answer your questions.
In a bird's-eye view, circumcision culminating in Judaism meant the temporary physic…

Yes....In my book. BTW this IS Dave's "One Man" take on things. Because God made of one blood all nations. So to call someone a semite, or lable them by any other ethnicity draws a line creating a racist mentality.

As I understand, the NRA wants the 2nd Amendment minus the "well regulated militia". And the movie stars want the 2nd Amendment with a "well regulated militia".

Is it possible the pro-assault weapon people are creating a bumper crop of leftists and progressives? If I were to vote, I'd vote consistently pro life, but the hypocrisy in both main parties make that impossible.
