How about me? I have been around a few gun deaths. No immediate family members, but a number of acquaintances. The NRA has no blame and has done a huge amount to promote gun safety and sense. NRA or guns are not the problem anymore…

Doesn't that pretty much describe the writing of all of us on the forums?

Back when I was a school teacher, our school kept a long rifle in the classroom and we used it too. I would never have used it against a person (I am passivist), but on the other hand, all the neighbors knew that rifle was there, that there were…

Given that definition, the answer is an unequivocal yes.

You have to look at population demographics. Germany and the US are Apples and Oranges.

I had a friend, a mentor, who served as a missionary their since the days of McCarthur. The work was hard, but some success. More workers needed.

Believers were first called Christians there.

Well, how do you define "persecuted?" This is a god question.

I wonder what the teachers in high risk areas think.

Trying to think of an enemy....

There are many ways! Pray, but also go. For example, even people from 3rd world countries are going to help Syrian refugees. A young girl I know who earns perhaps a thousand dollars a year, saved her money, got a little help from her church an…

I really wonder at the lucidity of a population that swallows the news today. Yet, there are some who do!

Maybe. I did undergrad research in college many years ago that showed statistical significance for the argument--I am speaking from that knowledge. My paper really made the rounds at school for a while and then got dropped. I defend…

From a Jewish perspective we have:
"Our body forms its likeness on the earth by the shadow it casts, so do we, by our activity, form the eternal God to our likeness: If we act well, we form thereby the right hand of the God… -

How well said! You should get a pat on the back. You really it got it right this time! The weapon is the person who does the shooting.

You are right. Back to the meaning of "the image of God."

I am not sure what you mean by "In scripture we can judge people..." but I sort of get the drift, maybe. The second part I think I get: "...not by their motives which only God knows."

Now there is a twisteroo: a God who does not have free will creates a sovereign who does have free will and rules creation. Mind bending.
How about applying Scripture to determine what absurdities cannot exist and work back from there to…

Now, there is some real common sense.

Gun control as the liberals pretend it is like a child in a tulip garden mashing all the flowers by stamping on sparks as a nearby house burns down. Let's get to the source of the problem and we can really fix it.

"More kids are killed by walking to school," and alcohol and drugs and other violence and abortion. My wife got struck by lightning once (she is fine).
By the way, there have already been well over 6,200,000 babies killed since Jan 1 of …

I knew a young man killed by a random drive-by-shooting. The perp was angry at his wife, grabbed a gun and took off down the road to shoot something. He took pot shots at the first car he saw. My friend was killed.
The local newspaper p…

They also use the assistance of Ford pickups, dill pickles and dollar bills. Ban the dollar Bill! (Just leave dill pickles alone!)
