Luke 22:36 - Then said he unto them, 'But now, he that has a purse, let him take it, and likewise his bag: and he that has no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.'

Jesus clearly advocated a balanced approach to all parts of life (as in Ecclesiastes 3:1), not a life centered on warfare but also not a purely passive life of turning the other cheek. These "Christians" who want the people forcibly disarmed by government need to understand the Bible better. We are to render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and unto God the things that are God's. Since essentially everything is God's, I will retain the weapons necessary to protect the life and the freedom that God gave me.

“Religious leaders attending the U.S. Gun Violence Prevention Sabbath Weekend called for a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines”

Even for police and federal agents?

FAITHS UNITED TO PREVENT GUN VIOLENCE PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

We, The Faiths United to Prevent Gun Violence, are dedicated to eliminating scary-looking guns that account for an extremely small portion of gun violence.

Our hope is that 100% of gun violence will be committed with not-scary-looking guns. This should reduce the fear that gun violence produces in our communities and let the healing begin.

-END-

How about a ban on people who believe it’s OK to murder?

A sabbath is a rest from something. So a “gun control sabbath” group would actually be a group advocating we take a break from gun control.

I like lists like this one. They keep me up to date on which “churches” have been infiltrated by the America/Freedom-hating commie libs. I’ll bet they all support “gay marriage” too.

I fail to see the nobility or virtue in purposely making yourself helpless. Even less in forcing the rest of us to become easy meat for psychopaths.
