[Salvation]

BTTT! I will post my favorite scripture passage on this subject in the wink of an eye!

[Salvation]

Ecclesiastes
Chapter 3

1

There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for every affair under the heavens.

2

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant.

3

A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to tear down, and a time to build.

4

A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance.

5

A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather them; a time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces.

6

A time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away.

7

A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to be silent, and a time to speak.

8

A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

9

What advantage has the worker from his toil?

10

I have considered the task which God has appointed for men to be busied about.

11

He has made everything appropriate to its time, and has put the timeless into their hearts, without men's ever discovering, from beginning to end, the work which God has done.

12

I recognized that there is nothing better than to be glad and to do well during life.

13

For every man, moreover, to eat and drink and enjoy the fruit of all his labor is a gift of God.

14

I recognized that whatever God does will endure forever; there is no adding to it, or taking from it. Thus has God done that he may be revered.

15

¹ What now is has already been; what is to be, already is; and God restores what would otherwise be displaced.

16

And still under the sun in the judgment place I saw wickedness, and in the seat of justice, iniquity.

17

And I said to myself, both the just and the wicked God will judge, since there is a time for every affair and on every work a judgment.

18

I said to myself: As for the children of men, it is God's way of testing them and of showing that they are in themselves like beasts.

19

For the lot of man and of beast is one lot; the one dies as well as the other. Both have the same life-breath, and man has no advantage over the beast; but all is vanity.

20

Both go to the same place; both were made from the dust, and to the dust they both return.

21

Who knows if the life-breath of the children of men goes upward and the life-breath of beasts goes earthward?

22

And I saw that there is nothing better for a man than to rejoice in his work; for this is his lot. Who will let him see what is to come after him?

[Commander8]

Then said He unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
Luke 22:36 Authorized King James Version

Bump!

And to think that some actually think it means Continuationist Calvinist Woody ;>)

[CCWoody]

Vengeance belongs to God (Romans 12:19; Deuteronomy 32:35; Proverbs 20:22). We are not to avenge ourselves. If we see someone who needs our help during the commission of a crime, we have a God-given right and duty to intervene.

Actually, my personal choice in the matter is that my gun is for the defense of my life and the lives of my family only. If someone has made their personal choice to disarm and be anti-gun, then it what way do I have a duty to intervene? If they don't value their own lives enough to defend it, then in what way am I under any obligation? My life was Purchased at a Great Price.
