Should Christians be allowed to own a gun legally?

My question is very simple. Is it okay for Christians to own a gun legally for protection purposes? I would love to hear what other people has to say in regards to that.

I personally believe that we dont need a gun, but at the same time, arent everyone entitled to protect themselves? Now, you see where the confusion is with me lol

I brought the popcorn and drinks

Luk 22:36 Then said 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.

Luk 22:38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.

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.

My understanding is Peter got scolded for being aggressive with the sword . Being aggressive is not defense.

Thanks

Lol thanks

So what you're saying is that its okay?

yup and i will expound

I trust the Lord yet i wear a jacket against the cold. I trust the Lord while I do not play on the freeway. I trust the Lord although i lock my doors. The Lord is the Living water yet i drink a few glasses a day of tap water.. The Lord is the Bread of Life i like tuna on sour dough.

Why do you believe that a Christian should not own a firearm? Is this based off of scripture or a personal preference?

No...

I'm trying to find the congruence and logical conclusion as to how these things fit together as a one causing the other or have anything to do with each other.

Faith in God doesn't have anything to do with owning or not owning a firearm.

There are no roads connecting the two together.

The recreational aspect of target shooting is much like golf, archery, bowling etc.
Firearm ownership nearly always omits this and jumps right to injury whether justified or not.

All right folks, let’s buckle up.

NO YOU DON’T NEED A GUN !
IVE NEVER HAD A GUN. TAKE THAT SECOND AMENDMENT !

said the reprobate troll.......

Calm down Charles Manson, nobody is threatening your imaginary cult. It’s just words, on a screen.

Well Jesus told Peter that they that live by the sword shall die by the sword. He also said to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.

I think in this case it's not a matter of theology but a case of individual conviction. I have seen the evil of the world and would support every person's right to bare arms.

in typical reprobate form

Thanks, didn't know they had this one out.

Got one! Not this pretty red, white and blue, but have a blast with it. Pun intended!
Slightly coarser salt gives it a better effectiveness

Just sent the great grandkids (and their dad) water guns . Sent the kid some clothes saw his face he smiled and was polite nope dont send a 8 year old boy clothes with out also some thing fun.

I’m not gonna lie, I have used a water gun before.
Those were the days when cops didn’t “confuse” water guns with real guns and shot unarmed people on their back.

Protection from what? Personally I have multiple shotguns and revolvers that I used while hunting hogs,deer ect. and they protected me and my family from hunger very well. Guns are sort of like a screwdriver or a hammer in that they are some very useful tools when used correctly. I have stabbed myself in the hand with screwdrivers several times and as they say "to a hammer everything is a nail" and I've lost count of how many times I've hit my fingers(don't hold a nail for me if I will hit myself I will surely hit you too if you try to hold it for me,lol). let me ask you the obvious question,,,if the booger man broke into your house and was hurting one of your family members would you hit him with a hammer? If so how do you think Jesus would look at you?
