Greenwood Park Mall Shooting

I love the video. It is odd that "Brandon" is banned, but the video says "F----d up" at least twice.

Gee, are you saying there is one set of rules for conservatives, and another for liberals? In our post Christian era integrity does not seem to matter.

I am glad this young man was there and he stopped the gunman before the gunman could kill more people.

The question still needs to be asked: Had the US actually had effective gun control, would this shooting ever have happened in the first place?

With radical independent individualists, it seems that the answer is to have no laws , (anarchy) and just let the person with the biggest gun be the victor. The ultimate result of such action is well documented in history as resulting in local warlords.

The U.S. was founded on individualism and individual rights. The nation was also founded to be a Godly nation with Biblical values. The problem is secularization of morality, not individual freedom.

2A is in COTUS to protect us from government. Despite what mentally deminished Joe says, the private citizens could own cannons. Most of the state militias cannons were on loan from private owners. PRIVATE ship owners had more cannons on their ships than the U.S. Navy had on theirs. Private ships were better armed than Navy ships. Believe mental diminished Joe if you wish.

The radical individualism is not biblical. Christians are Covenant people who are all one with Christ. Individualism is not how Christianity works.

If that is your view of Christianity, go be a good little Communist.

What is God's view, Reynold's?
*Galatians 3:25-29*

But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise.

You seem to want your independence despite God telling you that you are not independent and that you are not a rogue Christian.

Get used to community, Reynolds, because that's what it is like in heaven. If you want independence and individualism then you will want hell, not heaven.

When your radical community forces you to be addicted to manufactured drugs, don't ever give up your conviction of community and resort to the individual right to reject that forced addiction.

Since we live on earth individual freedom is preferred instead of forced bondage to sin, communal style. That is the difference. Pretty sure in the after life we will have totally different physical bodies and no individuality at all, since we will all be as God.

Unless of course God allows individuality. I guess you won't mind either way. To do so would break your whole point. Individual thought against God's will.

What "radical" community? My community is the brothers and sisters in Christ, which includes...you.
Whatever the government decides, as long as it does not try to force Christians to deny our King, I will obey. This is in accordance with my Kings command in Romans 13 and 1 Peter 2.

Reynolds, you are a part of the community. If you rebel against that, you rebel against your King.

More of your sanctimonious, nonsensical applications of Scripture.
