Blessed are the peacemakers,

for they will be called children of God.

"You have heard that it was said to those of ancient times, 'You shall not murder'; and 'whoever murders shall be liable to judgment.' 22 But I say to you that if you are angry with a brother or sister,[e] you will be liable to judgment; and if you insult[f] a brother or sister,[g] you will be liable to the council; and if you say, 'You fool,' you will be liable to the hell[h] of fire. 23 So when you are offering your gift at the altar, if you remember that your brother or sister[i] has something against you, 24 leave your gift there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother or sister,[j] and then come and offer your gift. 25 Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are on the way to court[k] with him, or your accuser may hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you will be thrown into prison. 26 Truly I tell you, you will never get out until you have paid the last penny.

When various people here predicted another civil war.....considered such comments to be silly hyperbole.

When son # 2 bought additional AR's and thousands of rounds of ammunition .....thought he was being ridiculous.

When BLM terrorized the University of Missouri a few years ago thought it was an isolated incident due to weak administrators .



I was wrong on all counts .


Hell is coming to breakfast and we better wake up.

Your son should be certain he has enough magazines, too. A few spare bolts and lower parts kits are always a good idea, as well. I was inspired when Obama was elected to build my first AR. Lot's of fun. I've watched ammo prices and availability fluctuate wildly. Good idea to stockpile when tensions are low. I wouldn't be loading up on anything just now. Might revisit that advice if Biden gets elected though.

Maybe he's had an epiphany since he realized that the Democratic Marxist base is hell bent to TAX churches

"It is pretty difficult to like some people.
Like is sentimental and:
it is pretty difficult to like someone bombing your home;
it is pretty difficult to like somebody threatening your children;
it is difficult to like congressman who spend all the time trying to defeat civil rights.
But Jesus says love them, and love is greater than like."
Martin Luther King. Jr.
It seems neither Jesus nor MLK support ARs

Some questions for you to ponder:

1. Would you let the rioters burn down your church in the name of cultural Marxism?
2. Will you go to other churches to prevent rioters from burning down those churches?
3. If Christians are being attacked while trying to save their church, will you intervene?
4. How do you exegete Matthew 10:34 Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.?
5. And how do you exegete Luke 22:36 He said to them, "But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.?

When normal people see the nutzos who have gone from stepping up to police brutality to the giant leap to removing "white Jesus".

This Peacemaker is blessed.

2. Will you go to other churches to prevent rioters from burning down those churches? Of course, but non violently

4. How do you exegete Matthew 10:34 Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.? Followed by --- 10:38 -- and whoever does not take up the cross and follow me is not worthy of me. The sword is a metaphor for the the sharp decision that will made by followers the give in to racism or follow the cross of sacrifice of one's racism.
The sword is not a metaphor for an AR and standing in front of a church
IN the garden Jesus is rather clear that we put down our sword and go to the cross. It is the way of love.,
5. And how do you exegete Luke 22:36 He said to them, "But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.?The disciples were hitting the road and needed to be aware of of robbers in the wilderness, but again when push came to shove Jesus is rather clear that we put down our sword and go to the cross. It is the way of love.,

This is not gibberish if you bother to read it.

Sorry, I have been multitasking today.
I am curious why did you say it was a stupid assumption? We have two BLM leaders openly saying they are Marxists and one saying they will force change. We have another supporter encouraging people to vandalize and/or destroy churches. Do you think the BLM is a pro-Christian organization?

In #4, you mention racism but that seems more like your own eisegesis rather than exegesis.
In #5, your post is a little unclear. It seems like you are saying it is ok to use the sword to defend yourself and your property but not to proactively attack people. If so, I am assuming you would be ok with Luke 11:21,
"When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are undisturbed."
And if that is so, why would you be upset if Christians protected their church with guns?

What kind of arms was Luke referring to? And fwiw, that's a peacekeeper.
