Lol - get your narrative straight.


Lol - how did Jesus Christ become a symbol for gun rights?

Let's get this straight:

It's the anti-guns who started using Jesus Christ in their effort to shame, or to put guilt into Christians who support the right to carry arms.
Christians simply pointed out that self-defense isn't unbiblical.

If Jesus Christ has become a symbol for gun rights - it's the progressives who made it that way.

Many atheists are shown to be fools ................................... not because of their belief.

But, because of what they say.

22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools

Like many narratives in the Bible - there's more to it than just that.

It had to do with a covenant with God.



This disturbing incident, in which God was going to kill Moses, is not fully explained in the text, but we can piece together an idea of what occurred. Here are the clues:
- God was seeking to kill Moses
- Zipporah, Moses’ wife, took a flint knife and circumcised their son
- after the operation, Zipporah touched Moses’ feet with the foreskin
- Zipporah called her husband “a bridegroom of blood,” referring to the circumcision
- at that point, “the Lord let him alone” (Exodus 4:26).


So, as far as we can tell, God was threatening to kill Moses because Moses had not circumcised his son. The question then is, why was that particular sin being judged so harshly?
Surely there were other sins that Moses was guilty of, yet God chose to pursue the death penalty over a lack of circumcision. The answer probably goes back to the time of Abraham.

When God called Abram and established a covenant with him, He changed his name to Abraham and gave him a sign of the covenant: circumcision.
Moses later wrote this account: “Then God said to Abraham, ‘As for you, you must keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you for the generations to come.
This is my covenant with you and your descendants after you, the covenant you are to keep: Every male among you shall be circumcised.
You are to undergo circumcision, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and you’” (Genesis 17:9–11).
God was clear that, among Abraham’s descendants, every male in every household was to be circumcised. No exceptions: “My covenant in your flesh is to be an everlasting covenant.
Any uncircumcised male, who has not been circumcised in the flesh, will be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant” (Genesis 17:13–14).
Moses’ personal life had to be in order before he could properly direct the spiritual lives of the Hebrew people. Whatever the cause of Moses’ neglect of such an important rite, his sin made him unfit to serve as a spiritual leader.
The situation had to be rectified before he could carry out his mission. God was about to kill Moses, but Moses lived because God allowed for repentance and forgiveness.
Praise the Lord that “mercy triumphs over judgment” (James 2:13).

I think - that's what you've been doing with this thread.
An unruly child wanting his parents' attention, comes to mind.

You seem to yearn for God's attention.

Well - I hope and pray, He reveals Himself to you.
That you find Him someday, and that you may be at peace.

Triggered by the accuracy of that meme. I think lots of Christians should find another religion cause turning the other cheek just isn't their thing.
