So it is nice orderly citizens shooting up Chicago? And Hicks with gun racks are as well regulated as nice sophisticated guys are.
You are showing your bias thinking all gun rack guys are hicks.

Yes! God removed the unbelievers from Israel under Jesus. Only those who accepted Jesus as King remained Israel.

Here we have a delema. If Christendom is Israel according to scripture, then no group curses Abraham and his seed more than the Jews.

Doesn't a "well regulated militia" mean more than a bunch of hicks with gun racks and riff raff shooting up Chicago?

Not, really. I'm only pointing out that you cannot undermine the authority of the Magistrate.

I think Hawking misinterpreted the bible based on contemporary religious thought, never realizing how in line it was with his thinking. Even Einstein made claims the Westminster Confession made nearly 400 years ago. I think one day we …

I think if people would become familiar with the Talmud, especially the older uncensored versions, it would go a long way in explaining the suffering of the Jews.

God holds forth salvation to those who reject him every day. Especially believing Jews whom he will graft back into Israel through Christ. And this for the sake of their fathers.
But the unbelieving, whether Jew or gentile are …

According to scripture, the second amendment is a law, but the Civil Magistrate is a person (Romans 13). And all must submit to the person, the civil magistrate.

I read the transcript and I think Mrs. Devos is playing against a stacked deck. But I think she should screen the interviewers and provide her own outline for questions asked. If that is not acceptable, she should decline.

We need to consider God's role in the suffering of the Jews. Paul says:
“Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men: Forbidding us to spe…

I believe Luther made the Holocaust possible along with the many "Christians" staffing Hitler's armies. But I think Luther's hatred of the Jews or Muslims was centered in Judaism and Islam, and not in those descending from Shem per se.…

We have the image of God because of many shared characteristics. The big difference is that God acts and we react.

Why is the Sermon on the Mount so important?
When Jesus finished the Sermon, Matthew records that the people were amazed at his "doctrine". That would be "the doctrine of Christ".
“And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these s…

I'll mention their leaving Jerusalem in 70 AD. Letting Paul down in a basket so he could flee. The many who fled at the time of Stephen's murder. All of the Apostles except one who who died passively at the hands of executioners. The early church…

Please show ANY example from scripture where Christians used self defense other than defending themselves vocally. I can show many times when they ran, hid, and forfeited all rather than compromise Jesus' teachings about loving enemies…

Where is your scriptural support for ANY christian defending themselves in the NT? We mentioned Jesus rebuked Peter for attempting self defence and defending Jesus with the sword.

Thanks for your interest in this and helping to fine tune our understanding.

It is not beside the point. The point is that New Testament believers did not use any form of physical violence to defend themselves. When Jesus told Peter to put away the sword, he was being kidnapped and murdered. Had he followed your course of…

Please show at least one Christian in the New Testament that used self-defense without being rebuked, other than defending themselves vocally.

So you do not have any scriptural support for self defence under the New Covenant?

Can you provide one example of any Christian defending themself, other than vocally, in the NT, without being rebuked for it?

How about?
“But remember the former days when you endured a harsh conflict of suffering after you were enlightened. At times you were publicly exposed to abuse and afflictions, and at other times you came to share with others w…

Where does Jesus, the Apostles, or any NT believer defend themselves using physical force without rebuke?

How about: “Do not avenge yourselves, dear friends, but give place to God’s wrath, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. Rather, if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for …

Jesus never says to wing it, he asks: ““Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and don’t do what I tell you?” (Luke 6:46)

Are you saying Jesus and the NT believers did not take the whole Bible? Surely they would act out your understanding of it if it were true.
