Should true christains own lethal weapons?

[BADecker]

It's simple, If one still believes in religions, one should not be given access to weapons.

religion
[ ri-lij-uh n ]

noun

6. something one believes in and follows devotedly; a point or matter of ethics or conscience: to make a religion of fighting prejudice.

Many of the other parts of the definition show that everybody has religion. Atheism is a religion.

In order to take weapons access away from people, you would have to deprive them of all of nature. Is that what the lockdowns are?

As you see, such a depriving is not working.

How do you enforce keeping the weapons out of hands of religious people. After all, it's a religion to want to deprive anybody of self-protection.

My faith will save my soul but my weapon will save me from Bad people so why not have faith and weapon together?

because sometimes Evil people wont let you do a prayer instead may shot you more while laughing as you pray.

This should be like trading. You have to diversify and have tools for self protection. What if god is just not feeling it on a particular day. Right?

To rephrase: Why should anyone even be allowed to own lethal weapons?

Also, weapons were created either to be used (as it was intended to be used) against an opponent, or it may have been created to be used as a deterrent instead.

What does it mean to be allowed? People are born with lethal weapons. Bruce Lee simply perfected the usage of his.

The lethal weapon that is dangerous is the mind. It is driven by a person's spirit. If it is not used as a lethal weapon, it can do marvelous, wonderful things... just as guns can.

Besides, who will limit people from having guns? Other people with their guns? God could have if he had wanted. So, who?

It's a rhetorical question that I asked, to rephrase the reason behind the initial question asked by the OP, who asked the original question: "Should true christians own lethal weapons?" Because OP's question was being specific only to asking Christians only.

But it was your explanation instead, wherein you said that a person's built-in capability i.e. Bruce Lee, can use himself as an alternative "lethal weapon," rather than actually using an actual lethal weapon device.

Just to repeat what I've said earlier: "weapons were created either to be used (as it was intended to be used) against an opponent, or it may have been created to be used as a deterrent instead."

And to explain further what I meant: I am merely mentioning a fact, that weapons are either created to be used as an offensive threat towards an enemy and it may also be created to be used as a defensive deterrence against an enemy as well, that's all.

Well said.

The scripture says in Matthew 26:52 tells it as well. If you want to live truthfully and die peacefully, you'll live without it.

But the Bible allows Christians defend themselves in a situation of war as a civic responsibility, isn't it? Therefore, I don't see anything wrong if Christians can also own lethal weapons provided they use it for defence too.

[KiloFoxtrot]

I see nothing wrong with people owning weapons in general and if the reason is more about self-defense or deterrence purposes only. But if it's for any other purpose at all, then that's another issue altogether instead.

[BADecker]

Ownership of lethal weapons isn't what counts. What counts is if they have them to use when necessary.

The jokers who push the red buttons activating the nuclear missiles, don't own the missiles. But they sure have control of them.

[xen1oph]

Yes. I completely agree with this, your words are true. When you are on the side of God (when you act according to God's plans), then you are immune to everything from this temporary material world. But this doesn't mean that you don't need to have a weapon at all. There are different situations, if, for example, you need to protect your family when other people attack you (when the devil takes control of their minds), then you will have to defend yourself in every way even at their material aggressive level (because they won’t understand the words). And God will be on your side in that case.

And I'm not talking only about religion (Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, etc.). All religions say the same thing. This is just a set of recommendations for people of a certain level and culture, which is written so that it is clear to those who will read it. Therefore, this applies to all people.

That is why there are people who called themselves as PRO Guns meaning People Responsible Owners of Guns.

Should true Christians own lethal weapons?


Yes! But nothing smaller than tank cannons, howitzers, and hydrogen bombs.
