Was it intentional that the subject of a tyrannical government didn't come up due to the presence of the Englishman? The right of bearing arms was given by our founding fathers for personal protection from not only criminals but mainly from a a tyrannical government they had just defeated and had no desire to return to.

Americans should have the right to own assault riffles because the point of America is the power being derived from the people. If government can own assault riffles we should too because government should not have more power. Keeping the government in check is essential. When gets bad, the people have the right to fight back, fight for our freedoms like our forefathers did and do so on equal playing ground.
Sooooo in Europe they are telling their citizens it’s illegal for them to have guns but it’s okay for criminals to carry guns and do harm to people. When a citizen shoots a robber breaking into their home the citizen is the one that gets in trouble for protecting their family?? Make it make sense!!!
As a Christian gun owner I have struggled with this issue… did Jesus ever carry a weapon? His weapon was the Word of God. Christ also told us to turn the other cheek and that we would be persecuted for our faith. Those who live by the sword 🗡️ shall die by the sword. I’m willing to die for Jesu🇺🇸s Christ. Shouldn’t we all live by faith in Jesus Christ alone? There are times when I feel I should disarm myself and forget this physical world of sin, however I am willing to sacrifice myself for my family. I still struggle with this issue, so I pray and remain faithful.
Satan controls the worlds governments, that's why gun are allowed! The right to bear arms is the biggest mistake in a America! Gun violence is well out of control! Mat 26:52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. Luk 3:14 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. We don't live by the old testament laws, an eye for an eye! Never put your trust in a firearm! Put your trust in the living God, who can see danger all around you! God can send his power angels to protect you from all harm, just like He did with King David! Psa 146:5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his HELP, whose hope is in the LORD his God: Psa 34:7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. Mat 26:53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? Luk 4:10 For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:Luk 4:11 And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Isa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
What did God Himself use to destroy the philistines? What did God say in revelation about the end days and what he is going to do to the wicked? You cannot take verses out of context. Killing because of self defense is one thing, murder is different.
If anyone when an intruder breaks in or if some is threatening you, if would think to call the police you believe in self-defense. Whether it’s by your hand or another’s, you know the possibility of what would happen if you called the police.
why is this a hard question? Of course a Christian should be armed and never surrender their weapons. You don't need a "license" for the natural right of self defense.
@@catchthewind8563 You are incorrect my friend. Paul was quoting Pslams 44:22, which is Old Testament, meaning before Christ, therefore before the Gospel. Study to shew thyself approved my friend. Know the Word for it is Truth. Be well.

Very interesting distinction. It would be a fine line indeed making such a differentiation though. For wouldn't your beliefs inform your defensive actions?
Not sure why this popped up in my feed at this point, but in reply to the European. He mentions that his chances of suffering "gun violence" is higher in the US than other countries. What he fails to offer is what are his chances of suffering violence of ANY type in those other countries compared to the US. And more over how likely is a victim to survive and be able to fight back against that violence without guns. And further as seen in several cases in the UK when someone actually does manage to fight back, how likely is the State to side with the victim who successfully defended themselves with makeshift weapons. I know of several cases of home invasions in the UK where the home owners used a cricket bat, or knife or some other makeshift weapon, and the UK police charged the homeowner with assault. In another case a woman who was being assaulted and would've been raped, used a hair pin to stab her attacker and she was charged with assault with a deadly weapon. The UK has a more fundamental issue than whether or not guns should be permitted. They've lost the moral standing to even see self-defense as a valid option against an aggressor. And this attitude has pervaded most of Europe at this point, and this self-loathing, this lack of seeing the value and worth of the self as something to be guarded and defended is ultimately leading Europe down a dark path where they are allowing EU governing bodies to dictate to once free people's how they should live.
Loved listening to the true Christian heart of Eric Franke the British sounding european especially when he said that the 2nd amendment gives the right to bear arms but is it right to bear arms. Ezekiel 33:26 God does not approve of RELYING on a weapon - Exodus 22:2-3 says if you kill your adversary at night it’s self defence but you are guilty of murder if you kill if the sun has risen - probably because you can see his humanity Vengeance is not allowed either so if someone has already killed your family vengeance is in Gods hands alone And please ( so called christians say this all the time ) don’t compare guns with knives - maybe a small hand gun - not large rifles that don’t need reloading and can be discharged at a distance
I honestly can't believe some of the comments supporting weapons....Cuz you know, when Judas and the Romans came for Jesus, he pulled out his AR-15 from heaven and tore them all to pieces. Or maybe he just pulled out his sword and sliced them all up and went about his ministry? I don't know, what does the bible say He did?
For it is absolutely impossible that the heavenly country which God promised Abraham can ever be gained by men with swords or guns in their hands. The first experience of Moses demonstrated this. There was no more need for Israel to fight in the days of old than there is for us; for "when a man's ways please the Lord, He maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him" (Proverbs 16:7), and we are absolutely forbidden to fight (2 Corinthians 10:4).
If you think the government is your enemy , you must be very RICH indeed .Always wanting to take your hard earned money and spend it on schools and hospitals and roads and bull shit like that !
Have you not read what government's do to people that aren't armed? Recently they put people in cages for not getting the vaccine in some countries. In the past they loaded people on trains and hauled them like cattle to their deaths. I refuse to be just another cow led to the slaughter.
God created life to be lived. God created nature, and in nature all animals try to stay alive by eating or defending themselves from other animals. Self defense is a natural, God created and ordered act of preserving a life meant by God to be lived. Animals use claws, teeth, stingers, venom, and their thinking brains to defend themselves by making dens or other protective structures. Humans are meant to defend the life God intended them to live, and create firearms from their brain for self defense just like animals make dens or burrows, ect to aid in self preservation and defense. Use of any object to violate a Commandment is a sin, not natural defense, whether rock, stick, or firearm. So....YES, CHRISTIANS MAY USE FIREARMS FOR DEFENSE.
Instead of Pastors how about we listen to Jesus. Luke 22:36 Then said (Jesus) 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. 1 Timothy 5:8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. (includes protection) someone wants to rape and kill your sister / daughter you gonna hand em a condom and say may the Lord bless you? Exodus 22:2 If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him. (guiltless)
""someone wants to rape and kill your sister / daughter you gonna hand em a condom and say may the Lord bless you?"" Then perhaps, before you worry about the rest of the world, you should first worry about how these acts are being handled within the churches themselves. The SBC is dealing with a schism over these issues now.
The Creator has given us the mentality and strength to defend ourselves. That right to self defense also means we have the right to defend ourselves from government, being local, state or federal.
The opening title was "Weapons" and not specifically guns. There are those of us whom are Christians and do not gravitate towards firearms. Edged weapons such as what was in the Bible. As an example, my husband is an ordained minister and also performs hands on night security on our complex grounds. He holds a concealed carry permit which covers knives, swords, firearms, etc. No length limit on the edged weapons. He carries a 10.5" Bowie in an IWB concealment rig. The Bowie has no equal and when one has qualified intensive training in its use as well as full knowledge of deadly force laws, you are looking at one who is more than competent to protect God's House, their family and of course themselves. We do not serve a God who is interested in allowing us to be lambs for the slaughter.
