I performed some violence on a large Copperhead with a hoe a few days ago? I’m conflicted as to what to do next.
At least they’re not flying the Hamas flag.
You’re probably correct.
You misspelled ‘black’. Hope this helps!

Jawbone of a Democrat. (Translated to modern idioms.)
Those who beat their swords into plowshares will find themselves plowing for those who kept their swords.
Christ told Roman soldiers to not extort or harass innocent people and to be content with their wages. He told his disciples that they could carry two small swords. For protection, cutting fruit, or vegetables, firewood,, killing animals for food? He never told them to use swords to kill or injure innocent people. These biblically illiterate ideologues need to get out of their protected comfort zones and stop the virtue signaling drama. Beating guns into tools don’t get one into heaven by itself....not only that, a metal tool could kill someone quite easily...especially a plowshare...
OK, so why isn’t Chat being arrested and charged with possession of unregistered gun parts, probably full auto?
Affirmative.
Ask any groundhop.
Well, I was thinking we may need to be digging some deep holes.
Just noting that, with the exception of the cutoff saw operator, if they want to follow scripture, there’s a verse in Proverbs that says to take knife to your throat if given to appetite.
Then there’s the rainbow pride sash.....

I don’t remember Christ telling Roman soldiers anything (unless they became Christians maybe).
Two small swords? Jesus said to each disciple, if you don’t have a sword, sell your coat and buy one. A small one? Maybe he meant a jack knife.
The group got two, and Jesus let it go.
And he did not say go cut up vegatables with them. No instructions on their use.
Being armed and prepared to defend one’s self and family is a moral imperative AND a virtue. There is nothing noble about being defenseless.
Ah, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
The only part of their name that’s true is “in America”. All the rest is a lie.
>> I don’t remember Christ telling Roman soldiers anything
It wasn’t Jesus. It was John the Baptist, as written in Luke chapter 3:
[Luk 3:2, 14 KJV] 2 ... the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. ... 14 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse [any] falsely; and be content with your wages.
(read from 3:1 through 3:14 to get the whole context)
Your statement was, “Christ told Roman soldiers ...”
Not John the Baptist.
But, I did not remember about John telling them that.
>> Your statement was, “Christ told Roman soldiers ...”
That wasn’t my statement; it was “Getready”’s statement, in reply #69. Link: https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/4240357/posts?page=69#69
