Rufus, it's good to see you around. gun-totting, you mean like in ...
Matthew 26
52 Then Jesus said^ to him, "Put your sword back into its place; for all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword.---.
But anyway, I support home schooling, ... Not everything is about guns Jim but if I meant anything as you say, I would've meant like the two gun toting disciples that had a gun when the Saviour of the world told them to sell their garments and buy one.I interpret what Jesus said in Matthew 26 as, I am going to let these satanic tyrants have their hour for the sake of the sinners I love but those tyrants that lead into captivity, I'm going to enslave and those that kill by the sword I'm going to kill. Keep in mind he's the king of kings and he will be bringing his kingdom in with violence. Praise God you are favorable towards homeschooling. That is the only non-statist position I've witnessed you take. |

Very good article.I particularly liked the following: "Moreover, Dr. Ray concludes adults taught at home retained their parent’s worldviews far more frequently than peers. Students learning at home absorb much less liberal cant." This is something that bad guys recognize too and every Christian should hold the following quote (not found in the article) near to them: "Education is thus a most powerful ally of humanism, and every American school is a school of humanism. What can a theistic Sunday school's meeting for an hour once a week and teaching only a fraction of the children do to stem the tide of the five-day program of humanistic teaching?" - Charles F. Potter "Humanism: A New Religion," 1930 |

No, reject this progressive nonsense.
It was the Import taxes and tariffs that were a denial of God-given free markets and always resulted in a reduction of trade and a reduction in the wealth of nations and in freedom. It was not for nothing that tea was thrown into the docks.
Freedom requires the free flow of ideas, knowledge, capital, goods and people. It is progressive/communistic ideology that brought in the 16th amendment and the "income" tax and took a formerly free people and turned them into tax and debt slaves to international banksters. How one could define the rejection of this ideology as "progressive nonsense" is quite baffling. |

...
And in the ten or so years I was a part of that team, witnessing every Saturday throughout the year, despite our equipment sometimes taking a bashing, and tracts being eaten by lunatics, not one of us ever suffered any harm, but were regularly filled with the Spirit and with joy.  That is a beautiful testimony and perfectly played and this is the rightly dividing of this issue in my opinion. When we are labouring for the Lord and preaching the gospel, when we are being directly persecuted for the cause of Christ, then we endure and suffer the persecution. Now, take this same thug and let's say he breaks into a house, school, church, restaurant whatever and begins to attempt to take the lives of innocent people. Is it the duty of a Christian man to A. Hide behind a tree (in which case innocent people die) B. Call 911 (in which case innocent people die) or C. Intervene using all means necessary to neutralize the threat (in which case there is the potential of saving innocent life). I believe there is a time to be martyred and there is a time to kill (Ecc 3:3). May God grant us the wisdom to rightly discern the right time for each. |

If you come to the Uk Mike it will probably shock you that you won't need to carry a gun around with you, we don't have a gun shop on every street and mall and don't experience with regular monotony the slaughter which America has become so inured to in recent decades.
ps. Simple solution to cut down on the massacre of six year olds is take away the gun shops - you don't need them in a civilised society.
pps.
"massacre" ~
noun
the unnecessary, indiscriminate killing of a large number of human beings or animals, as in barbarous warfare or persecution" (Dicty) You are operating under a faulty premise. This is not a "civilised society". There are people within this society that desire to murder, maim, rape, pillage and such like. It is important therefore to possess a force equalizer to contend against such fiends. It would appear to be your passion to disarm civilized people so that they might be victimized by the uncivilized. |

There is no debate about there being Christian doctrines in the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church has always affirmed the Bible to be the inerrant and infallible Word of God, that Jesus is God, the Holy Trinity. It is not required for salvation for one who is Born Again to leave the Catholic Church or any other non Evangelical Church and unite with an Evangelical Church. Eternal salvation is by belief in the shed blood of Jesus Christ plus nothing else. You can be a saved believer and be judged right along side unbelievers for partaking of their sins, being unequally yoked etc. If you confess that Jesus Christ died for the remission of your sins (the true Jesus not the one who doesn't have brothers, has long hair etc. ya know that Catholic Jesus who is another Jesus) then you are covered eternally. Yet, if you walk disobediently you are placing yourself under the potential for judgment in this age and the age to come, though you be saved in the age to follow. |

So, even though Jesus is speaking to the apostles regarding an event at that time, was he telling them to sell their garments and be naked? If we apply to everyone, do we sell are garments and walk around naked so we can buy swords? God forbid that Jesus Christ would tell his disciples then or now to walk around naked. |

It does not change the fact that there are Christian doctrines in the Catholic Church. That can't be denied. And the whore of the Book of Revelation is not one church but consists of all churches that have false doctrines in them. The whore is physically identified as being Rome (where your pope is at). Yes, spiritually it consists of more than just the RC because she is the mother of harlots.And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. - (Revelation 17:5) So the solution is to come out from the whore, not yoke up with her because she might have a right doctrine somewhere (though whether this is the case is most debatable)... And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. - (Revelation 18:4) |

Bad Guys???
Criminals don't slaughter 20 six year olds in a school.
A society who allows easy access of military style weapons on the high street is culpable of that evil act. A society who allows the people placed in charge of the protection of those children to be unarmed is culpable for the evil of not protecting them.There are 107 countries with a higher murder rate per 100,000 people than the United States and every single one of them has more restrictive gun laws than the U.S. "After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn't do it." - William S. Burroughs |

He will have to do like Eisenhower or Kennedy did, nationalize the Texas National Guard and have the law enforced.
... Any sworn officer of the state of Texas has the authority to charge and arrest any individual violating the laws of this state. If someone under the color of federal authority wants to usurp the law of this state, he or she would be subject to arrest,incarceration and prosecution and the national guard would not need to be called on to do it. |

Excellent post, Rufus. I'm going to steal that one. You are welcome to it. It is inspired from a line in "Freedom to Fascism". There was a patriot pointing at a U.S. Constitution which was only a few pages and U.S. Code 26 which was thousands of pages and said something like "This document freed a country and this document enslaved one." I agreed with her sentiment in a civic sense but in a spiritual sense, where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. |
