Just so. But for me the issue for a Christian is, when are we going to stop manufacturing weaponry, and turn our swords into plough-shares?
Best wishes, 2RM.
Luke 22:36 He said to them, “But now let the one who has a moneybag take it, and likewise a knapsack. And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one.
As soon as we are done using them for Godly purposes. Things like protecting our families, protecting our freedoms, or just something that we can get together as believers, possibly across denominational lines or as a men's activity (or women's- many of them are catching on to the joys of shooting). It can also be an outreach, especially to young men and boys. My black powder rifles especially work well for this, as the kick is minimal, but the flash, "whoom!" and smoke are like a magnet drawing them over.
Isaiah 2:2,4 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. ... And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
That is a latter days prophecy for the millennium. Until then there will be "wars and rumors of war (Mat 24:6). So I suppose the correct answer is when I've seen the Christ coming in the clouds and my bones are renewed and I've risen to meet Jesus I'll start making plowshares instead of buying guns.
