As is the norm for internet freaks, people have taken to hiding behind their keyboards, thinking nobody can see what they are actually doing. Sandy, you and I disagree but you are not one I'm addressing here.
God knows and God cares and will and does judge every post, everyone of us, posts for the child that surfs the Web to read. When you take people out of context it is slander and God, neither does, nor shall he ever honor evil. In my house are two, short barreled pistols loaded with Wad Cutters that prevent some innocent person being killed outside my house, in the event that I am within ten feet of an intruder. This is the choice of myself and my wife.
When one reads the whole Bible it is clearly seen that God has called on His children to protect and to care for their wives and their children, to the point of dying for this cause. Further, it is clear, when we study the life of David, that there are different rolls for different folks in God's service. David was not allowed to build the Temple because he had the blood of war/combat on his hands, just like I, jasoncran and Major have. Myself, I am a God called Internet Evangelist and a Bible Teacher. Having served in Church Government, I know why God did not call me, my good friend Billy and some others to be pastors.
I do have the blood of men I enjoyed killing to save the lives of some American Mother's sons from death and I, Billy and others are prone to telling crybabies to put on their Big Boy Panties, suck it up and do the will of the Father, but stop crying like an infant. In my case, I loved teaching kids how to be men and I, way to much, enjoyed cheating the enemy out of a victory by turning the table on them and Pastors and Deacons must coddle the cry babies and try to turn their lives around without absolute sway over them. An Old Soldier that loved making men by force will never Pastor, just as David did not build the Temple.
Just for the record, somebody lied! I do not want, nor do I believe everybody should be armed, God forbid! I witnessed a good number of men receive their weapon and become idiots. That and the fact that I sleep, every night, with dead men and one six to nine month infant, every single night for the past 43+ years screams to me that many can not bear the load of dead men.
My prayer is that some of you drop the screen names, just as I, jason and Major have and realize that. like it or not, every word you post will be counted to you at the Bema Seat of Judgment. It will make for much more civil conversations.
