Gun Control:Jesus.... was more concerned that they be armed than that they be warm. partII

I need to start a gun/self defense section.

Rob has made a great point with his questions concerning whether do we use a shorter Bible just to make it fair? Will we follow Jesus and historical Christianity? When Jesus said to make disciples, what else did they use to teach, other than the Old Testament, for a very long time. Every time Jesus or the apostle Paul, or even John is speaking/writing and they make some important point, it is based on, or reinforced with quotes of the Old Testament.

Jesus never negated his first testimony to us in the old testament. It was the perfect standard for society and he said so. If Jesus could’ve been given gray hair it would’ve been from his constant rebuking of the Pharisees for making the Law of God null and void by their human traditions.
Rom 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. (not for our righteousness but for behavior that is righteous in His sight.)

You cannot use the bible to come to this position without some serious cut and paste work:...." letting evil people kill you and your family because…"

Here's Kevin Swanson talking with a missionary who carry’s a loaded firearm and has pulled it twice will help? Mp3 or stream it.

Brief Sermon Overview:
It was July 25, 1993. A cadre of terrorists entered a church building in South Africa , in what turned out to be the most dramatic church attack in modern history. Armed with AK-47s and grenades, they were prepared to kill hundreds of parishioners. There was however, something they were not counting on - Charl Van Wyk and his 38 special revolver. Kevin Swanson interviews Charl on this experience and a more recent attack that occurred in July, 2008. Sometimes loving your neighbor as yourself does require obeying the Nehemiah 4:14 mandate….

Kevin does address Jim Elliots situation here and specifically addresses the current topic of someone in your home. mp3

A well-known reformed preacher in America is unwilling to protect his family from violent attack, because 'they're not ready for heaven, and we are.'Kevin Swanson establishes the biblical case for family defense, and encourages fathers and magistrates to shoot to kill for the glory of God and in love for Christ and your people. If you love Christ, you will keep his commandments, including those contained in Genesis 9:6, Acts 25:11, Neh. 4:14, and Exod. 22:2-4.He carefully analyzes the Jim Elliot martyrdom case, where missionaries refused to act in self defense when attacked by the natives.
