I put this is "News" because it speaks also to the reasons we need a wall.

Ravi:

I would believe firmly our country needs a strong defense lest it be overwhelmed by those with evil intentions and a worldview that would destroy the values for which this country stands and was built.

[RoosterRedux]

Ravi just has a way of expressing himself that gets to the point humbly yet firmly.

[JudyinCanada]

In order for “those who live by the sword will die by the sword” to happen, a good guy has to pick up a sword and use it.

[RoosterRedux]

Mistake on my part. Please correct the spelling of Ravi's name in the title. It is Zacharias, not Zacharia.

Sorry for the trouble.

Hi, Judy. Very true.

Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.

[LouAvul]

Rom 13:4: if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

The invaders are lawbreakers. We are to enforce law. It's the Christian thing to do. And notice, the "sword" in this passage is not a piece of jewelry. It's an instrument of death.

I know of 5 preachers who carry.

I’ve always believed in, “The Lord helps those who help themselves.”

Are Christians Called to be Pacifists?

Not this Christian. Trending more Crusader than pacifist...

[Dalberg-Acton]

Was Jesus a pacifist when he scourged the money lenders in the temple?

[Capt. Tom]

Besides the threat Islam presents to us Infidels, I have mentioned my concern about the mamby pamby be nice to others ,we are all Gods children, forgive and forget, and live and let live, attitude of Christians, that is also a threat; as it lets Islam spread unchallenged.

I hope Christians will adopt the attitude they had when I was a kid in WWll which was: 'Praise the Lord, and pass the ammunition." -Tom

I love all the Scriptures in Hezekiah! Deep. ;)

[MayflowerMadam]

“I’ve always believed in, ‘The Lord helps those who help themselves.’”

Cute, but not “a thing”. In fact, God wants people to rely on Him, and not themselves.

Jesus told us to buy a sword.

Are Christians called to be pacifists?

[TalBlack]

If Christians are called to be pacifist we’d all be bowing to Mecca right now...
