Thanks for saying this!

I certainly do not condone getting drunk. But Jesus turned water into the best wine the wedding host had ever tasted. And he rolled it out after everyone was a bit loose and supposedly would not know the difference. But it is sin for y…

I'm saying we should not judge others' motives. We only reveal our own hearts assuming their motive is the same as our own.

How can the NRA protect the constitution if the professionally trained US Military cannot?

If they want assault weapons banned, how is it any different from not wanting other means of mass killing banned from private arsenals? Nuclear weapons? Etc.

Why do they exist if Government already protects and defends the Constitution?

You asked what is wrong with the NRA. And I answered that we have the God ordained Civil Magistrate who defends the Constitution and the nation. Adding that the NRA is unchristian.

Calling the Left crazy is misrepresenting Christ and alienating potential converts. And I needed to oppose your personal bias with a level playing field before commenting on the rest.

I did not take David's post off topic. He called those who oppose the NRA the "crazy Left". I responded by saying something like "Christians should not align with the Left or Right" because it misrepresents Jesus. And it alienates pote…

But a standing army was not their original intent.

I respect your thoughts, but as a "Christian" forum, why is questioning a Christian's involvement in a group that condones gun violence out of order?

One of the last things the founders wanted was a standing army. They thought it would be subject to offensive rather than defensive use as was the case of having only a voluntary militia. But with the Army, you do not need an armed cit…

As Christians we are to support the Civil Magistrate, not stockpile weapons to change what we deem unconstitutional by violence.

But this was before America had a standing Army. The Army makes the NRA or any other self appointed vigilante group unnecessary.

Did the Civil Magistrate create the NRA? If not, who did?

Why all the guns? What good are they if those having them are merely bluffing?

How else can you look at it? We have the Civil Magistrate to protect the Constitution,not self appointed, non elected vigilante groups.

It seems any group bent on defending the Constitution with violence is the same, only their culture differs.

Does the NRA follow Jesus? If not, what fellowship does light have with darkness?

If you mean I'm trying to make two things equal by comparing minor similarities, could we not compare the NRA to the Weatherman Faction of the SDS? At least in their purpose for existing? Or to the Black Panthers?

It is too early to tell about this venture, but it was America's youth taking to the streets that brought an end to the Vietnam War. And MLK taking to the streets that initiated the change towards equality under law for all.

For starters, I don't think Christians should align themselves with either the Left or the Right. Because we misrepresent Christ and alienate potential converts. Also Christians are to submit to the civil magistrate who bears the sword by God's a…

I've had a hunch for many years that people do notoriously bad things because they know it will grab worldwide headlines. I don't think a media blackout would be a good thing, but I wonder how much it contributes to the problem.

I think the truth matters to everyone who contributes to this forum. And the purpose of debate is to uncover it or prove what we say is true. I disagree with some of the positions held by others, but do not doubt anyone's integrity for…

Some excerpts from Billy Graham's bio.
Born Nov. 7, 1918, four days before the armistice ended World War I, William Franklin “Billy” Graham Jr. grew up during the Depression and developed a work ethic that would carry him through decades …

We'll miss Billy. He gave us a great deal of credibility that will now be hard to come by. Billy remained untarnished and was probably the only preacher most ever trusted.

Weren't they or any others disobeying God to fight the Civil Magistrate up until the time of his defeat?
