When is it gonna be enough?

[yeshuaslavejeff]

So we're just supposed to let the world go up in flames and let people die because, "That's okay! Jesus will come back and fix everything!" Disgusting.

What did you change from what God's Word Says ?
What else would you like to change from what God's Word Says and why ?

What if there wasn't a gun nearby?

There will always will be one here. And I suggest you buy one, or two.
Times are getting tough friend and God gave us a brain for a reason.
I will not go into detail on why I think people are brainwashed by video games and Tv and everything else going on around them and then how they need anti depressants because they don't have Jesus and cannot find peace in their life. So since I am not going there, I will just say that as a "person of faith" you should understand bible fulfillment and that times are going to get this way in the end days.
I have read the end of the book and it scares me, But I trust in Jesus and He gave me the common horse sense to buy guns and bullets and other things that I might one day need, so that I do not have to beg or join some gang of criminals to get food in these lat days.

At a recent women’s conference, a popular speaker repeated one phrase over and over again: “The world is cray-cray; focus on Jesus!

LOL, LOL and dare I say LOL... nough said, I am out.

Clearly I'm not gonna be able to get to people like you who are willing to sacrifice children and lives on the altar of guns and eschatology.

Utterly shameful... I pray God opens your eyes to your callous heart and attitude.

Where do you find the intrinsic worth of human life apart from Christianity? You can say you have your own preferences and values, but they simply remain your own. They need not mean anything to anyone else. Where does the value of life come from? It cannot be self existing because there is nothing behind it apart from God.

I'm thankful God gave me common sense. I refuse to become a religious whackjob.

I value life because God values it. They're not statistics, they're not nameless people waiting to be converted. Jesus was willing to get his hands dirty. We should too. If we don't, we're cowards.

Too late, apparently.
What men call good, God calls defiled.
What men call common sense, God says is foolishness to Him because it leads them away from Him

 

[yeshuaslavejeff]

We should too. If we don't, we're cowards.

Whatever is born of the flesh, is flesh, and PROFITS NOTHING.

God's Way is ALWAYS BEST, and so far, you have not presented it.

My people don't know me for lack of knowledge.
As much as you do unto others, you do unto me. As much as you don't do unto others, you don't do unto me.

What should I personally do? I own some guns. Should I get rid of them and then hope some kid doesn't walk into another school with his own gun and start shooting people? Then I could say, "Well, I did my part!". I understand the sentiment that if we only were to "do something", then these tragedies wouldn't happen. It simply doesn't work that way.

God wants us to get out there and love people and be in the world but not of it, rather than just sitting in our ivory towers singing hymns all day.

So we're just supposed to sit by and do nothing?

And if someone did take your guns to kill those kids, would you seriously be like, "Eh, not my problem."

 

[HisPrincess710]

I really am appalled by the lack of compassion and humanity on these forums. I'm glad I left the Christian label. I haven't left God, but I'm not going to be associated with such callous, heartless, cruel people who stand for the very things Jesus opposed.

You impose heavy burdens on people yet refuse to lift a finger to help them.

 

[Aldebaran]

Fine. Do something. Whatever you feel needs to be done. I've already described how doing what people seem to be suggesting doesn't work. And yes, if what you want done does more harm that good, then do nothing.

 

[Aldebaran]

And if someone did take your guns to kill those kids, would you seriously be like, "Eh, not my problem."

Is that what your concern is? You're concerned that MY guns are going to be used by a thief to do harm to people, and therefore I can't have what I rightfully own, even though I'm not doing anything wrong?

 

[HisPrincess710]

Take all of this from an exvangelical and an exchristian. The earliest Christians didn't call themselves Christians by a way. That was actually a taunting nickname from Pagans.

What do you want done? The idea of "do something" isn't going to cut it. Be specific.
