I develop software for a living. I can't tell you how many times users demand that software be changed to do this or that, when they haven't thought the whole process through. I point out the unintended side effects, the user goes, "Oh!" and then we think things through and come up with a viable solution.

Similar situation here except for some of these guys, the lightbulb never comes on.

In other words, they're liberals.

Jesus Hates Guns

We don't ban matches because of arsonists, we don't ban forks because of obesity! There are enough gun laws on the books now to make a layer pule....evil will find a way...laws don't stop the lawless they only infringe on the ever dwindling rights of the law abiding

Jesus isn't political. Nor is he religious.

:lol: Reminds me of John Denver and Teri Garr in Oh God!

Jerry Landers: He said he didn't care about religion.

Bobbie Landers: He said he didn't care about religion? Well, I guess he picked the wrong business to go into, didn't he?

Or something like that.

How long did you search for that vanity call sign?
 
I've noticed that Jesus seems to like and dislike things exactly as the person writing/preaching would endorse. I've also noticed that a LOT of people want to serve God and Jesus, but only as advisers. The best thing to do is to ignore them and go about your business as usual.

Jesus endorsed NO religion during the time He was on earth. He was, in fact, quite harsh in His assessment of them and their impossible legalism.

It was easy to pick out - it's my initials. :) It was even available in my area. I know several hams who have had to get calls from other areas to get what they wanted.

True. And studying for yourself, as well as as seeking out knowledgeable people who you can trust, makes it easier to see who's spining it.

Luke 22. Just see my signature. Kind of hard to argue that Jesus was against arming one's self when He directed His disciples to do so.

I disagree. People don't want more laws because they haven't taken the time to think - They want more laws so that they don't HAVE to think. The thinking has already been done for them.

This is a very frustrating article. I am a gun owner & concealed carrier, and would gladly defend my neighbor if needed, so how is that going against Jesus? The majority of gun owners that do things legally are not the mass murders so I don't understand why everyone wants more laws. Thats not going to change anything.

tractor_babe, this article should frustrate you, if you are a Christian gun owner. You must understand that this article has nothing to do with Jesus Christ, nor is it directed towards gun owners. It is to further separate those of us who "cling to our guns or our religion" from those who voted for Obama, to prepare them for the future attacks on the Second Amendment.

If someone doesn't believe in gun ownership, or doesn't care about Second Amendment rights, it won't be hard to convince them that Jesus would be against guns.

The Christian church is becoming very divided, both nationally and internationally. On the one hand you have the traditional church, preaching the Gospel, following the teachings of Paul, Peter, etc.

On the other hand you have churches that cater to the liberal/progressive/socialist Christian. Churches that "marry" gays, churches that preach "liberation theology", "collective salvation", and other beliefs that are opposed to the traditional interpretations of Christ's teachings. Reverend Jeremiah Wright's United Church of Christ is an example of this. Rev. Wright teaches "black liberation theology", a belief shared by the Nation of Islam. Basically, they believe that Jesus was a "community organizer", and his entire ministry was based on race.

President Obama stated in an interview that he believes in "collective salvation". Without going into great detail, it is a socialist version of Christianity, opposed to the traditional belief, where one's personal relationship with God, through Jesus Christ, is the only way to eternal salvation.

This article was written by someone who would welcome that split, trying to further separate progressives from traditional Christians.

Satan also welcomes that split.

Not an interesting article. This is the kind of drivel you get when you teach the kids from the short bus how to write.:rolleyes:
 
I'm afraid you won't like this but Jesus was anti violence. He rebuked Peter for cutting off the guards ear. He did not want thousands of swords for all of his apostles. Two swords would be enough, for the two disciples, no more. God gives us all we need. The swords were made to look like Jesus was a criminal, if he was pro violence he would have fought the gaurds. He told Pilate he could have 12 legions of angles save him if he wished. That doesn't sound like pro violence or revolt to me.
