    You know as much about the Bible as you do politics. Not much

    In what lord? Maybe the one who said if you have no sword to sell your garment and buy one [Luke 22:36]? If you ain't got a sword, then start auctioning your Hanes or Fruit of the Looms.

    The solution for stopping the large number of homicides and mass killings in America, far more than in other developed countries. The recommendation for the parkland HS in Florida is to arm the teachers. I think that's ridiculous. It only increases the gun mania in America.

    I believe that Heaven will be far greater than anything we can imagine. Consider seeing Christ face to face and knowing Him as He knows us. It will be magnificent and we shouldn't limit God by thinking just what it will entail.

    What did Jesus do when Peter used it to cut off the soldier's ear? Jesus is a Lord of love not violence.

    But what does that have to do with my guns?

    You are arguing against gun ownership, and asserting it may indicate a lack of faith. That doesn't make sense to me.

    Can you explain?

    I didn't say it did if you never plan to use them to kill people.

    You have no facts to back up your points. Actually, socialists want to disarm people so they can confiscate their property and push them around. There never has been a socialist success anywhere in the world in all the history of the world.

    The insurance companies who I believe are one of the culprits for having such high priced medical care. They need to be reined in.

    Socialists think that they are owed everything for free by the working people because they themselves are so intelligent. To each according to their need means that they are owed. Do you think a ten dollar co pay on Medicare is fair when under socialism like Cuba everything is free? Do you think that the bosses in socialism should get the same treatment as a Christian?

    It's non-violent to chase merchants out of the temple with a whip and knock over their tables with money and animals? And I presume you mean the high priest's slave, whose right ear was cut off by Peter's sword. And Jesus made it clear they are not there to fight an earthly flesh&blood battle. If I looked at this truly objectively, I would be inclined to say Jesus can't make up his mind on that point. Or maybe we can use a whip, but only own a sword.

    Anyway, I guess that slave was included in another statement of Jesus: "He who has ears, let him hear."

    And what about calling scribes and Pharisees hypocrites and white washed tombs full dead men's bones and all uncleanness? Is that loving?

    Greed is what capitalism is driven by. Remember the movie "Wall Street?"

    It's not Biblical to say that God in the person of Jesus can't make up His mind.
