Job 2:3 (KJV)
And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.

Philippians 2:13-15 (KJV)
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. [14] Do all things without murmurings and disputings: [15] That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

Blameless and harmless the sons of God

Matthew 10:16-18 (KJV)
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. [17] But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; [18] And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.

Harmless as a dove

But guess what those that come in the name of Jesus will deliver you up to the council

No weapon on earth can ever save anyone but GOD alone. Having and owning gun does not mean that you are save from danger. It is only GOD that can protect you and nothing more.

You are 100% right, so I ask the Lord to help me get a good sight picture and help me to not jerk the trigger, in other words, I ask the Lord to help me shoot straight.

How about praying The Lord's Prayer

Matthew 6:9-13 (KJV)
After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. [10] Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. [11] Give us this day our daily bread. [12] And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. [13] And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Deliver me from evil.

When we teach our children The Lord's Prayer, when we pray The Lord's Prayer, we are asking The Lord to deliver us from evil.

We are asking The Lord to protect us.

Matthew 6:13 (KJV)
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

I guess we have those who ask there idol (gun) to deliver them from evil

"iog" believes no evil befalls the people of God.
I believe "iog" says just the opposite. Go and re-read what he said about Satan approaching Job. Not to mention, John the Baptist and Jesus, to name a few!

As iog said in another of his post... why would Satan go after sinners? They are already serving him. Satan wants a larger group with him in the lake of fire......and to do that he must go after the righteous...those that are keeping God's laws and commandments.

Man points pistol at Bulgarian politician
By CNN Staff

(CNN) - It happened in a flash.

A man Saturday approached Bulgarian opposition politician Ahmet Dogan, who was at a lectern giving a speech at a party conference in Sofia, the capital city.

Video shows the man pointing a gas pistol at the head of Dogan, who grappled with him, according to Bulgaria State News (BTA).

Dogan, leader of the ethnic Turk Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF), managed to knock the gun away as people rushed the stage and subdued the assailant.

The suspect was arrested and identified as Oktay Yenimehmedov, 25, according to media reports.

Dogan, who is leaving his party post after more than 20 years, was unscathed. He did not continue his speech.

BTA did not indicate a possible motive.

Turkey's Anadolu News Agency said the majority of MRF's members are ethnic Turks, who make up nearly 9% of Bulgaria's population.

The convention elected Lutfi Mestan to succeed Dogan, Anadolu reported.

Why would he listen to that request?
Let me give you a little history. My parents were missionaries to the Philippines before WW2. My father was Captain of a "Gospel Ship" that took missionaries all over the islands. Jolo Island, in the extreme south, was rather primitive in the ‘30s with a large Muslim population, but my father decided to go ashore and invited me, his eight old son, to go with him. Unbeknownst to us, the Muslim imams up in the hills were feeding their flocks beetlenut (a local narcotic) and telling them if they went to town and killed a few Christians, particularly if they got a white missionary, that they'd get few extra virgins in Paradise.

Well, this crazed Muslim with jihad on his mind, comes running down the dock at us swinging a native sword called a bolo. My father reaches down for my hand and says, “Stand fast son.” He then throws his sword cane up in the air and grabs it by the small end. Now that sword cane had a large solid silver head, about the size of a hardball. Well, this screaming native tries to behead my father, who parries and clubs the guy across the side of the head, full force, probably killing him. This is life or death, so it was no love tap on the noggin.

Of course, my father could have fallen to his knees and sung a few hymns, in which case, I wouldn’t be here to tell you about it, would I? Point being: Christians back then appear to have been made of sterner stuff or, with all due respect, could we possibly be confusing the wimpy attitudes, so popular in the churches today, with sanctity?

God is Awesome. God takes care of those that OBEY Him; Noah, Abraham, Moses and the nation of Israel (When they obeyed God), and all of God's saints. He will do the same in the future....He will protect those that obey Him during the tribulation period....there will be no need for guns or weapons. Just faith in God and His word.
