CHAPTER 17 GUNS AND THE BIBLE AND THE TRUE MINISTERS OF GOD Our Governments’ Little Secret Our Country wasn’t settled with the LIE of “Separation of Church and State.” Just who do you think it was, who led our forefathers in the battle, which brought about our freedom and independence in America, if it was not the Ministers of God in the Churches? People from the world over, wonder in awe at the freedom America enjoyed for many years. They have flooded over our borders to live in freedom that anyone in their right mind would have to admit, can come only, from living the laws God gave us in our Bible. Then these same non Bible believing people want to change our way of life, away from God’s word, which gave us this freedom, to their freedom robbing, heathen way of thinking. Is this not killing the goose that laid the golden egg? Many groups of the militia, during the War for Independence, or revolutionary period, surprisingly, were organized in Churches. Pastors quietly told the men, to arm them selves and learn to be skilled in war. There was no formal organization, only a call to be prepared. It is recorded that many congregations marched off to war when the fighting began. As long as they retained their means of selfdefense, they were not calling for war. The legal battle raged in the courts and parliament while protests and pamphlets were used to expose the enemy. In 1775, the order was “to seize all powder, shot, cannons and muskets held by the illegal citizens’ Militia (the minutemen), when General Gage’s “Redcoats” were marching on Lexington and Concord.” (We must remember; the so-called “assault weapon” used during the revolution was, a single shot, flintlock, muzzle loading musket). When the government moved to disarm the people, the only choices were, to fight and hope to win, or surrender and lose all. The minute men could not, with a clear conscience, throw away the freedoms won by their recent forefathers. WHEN GENERAL GAGE MOVED AGAINST ONE SMALL GROUP OF CITIZENS, TO TAKE THEIR MEANS OF SELF-DEFENSE, THE WHOLE COUNTRY SPRANG TO LIFE. WITHIN A WEEK THE BRITISH WERE FACING A FORMIDABLE ARRAY OF MILITIA, AND SMALL BANDS OF ANGRY AMERICANS.
WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT GUN CONTROL? We all know there were no guns in Bible times, but the scriptures inform us the private citizens did have swords to defend themselves, against robbers and sometimes the police. Swords were a fine weapon for self defense until bows and arrows came along. Bows and arrows were fine weapons, too, for self defense until guns came along. Then as Samuel Colt said; “GOD CREATED MAN, SAM COLT MADE THEM EQUAL.” He meant, of course the repeating pistols he found a way to mass produce cheap enough, so that everyone could own them for self defense. It was said “you could load it on Sunday and shoot it all week because they held six shots.” Now we have Semi-automatics as well as full automatic weapons (machine guns.) As far as machine guns go, they have no accuracy after the first shot. I believe they should be outlawed. They are nothing but a terrorist weapon, no matter whose hands they are in. (I would exempt collectors, as I have never met a collector that would misuse one.) Even the police are nothing but terrorists when armed with fully automatic weapons, especially to use against American citizens. Today the ministers, in a lot of Churches are ignorant of the true Bible teaching on weapons for self defense. Instead of studying their own Bible they listen to the so called “non-biased” liberal news media slanted misinformation. Question: Did you ever know a news person against guns who was a Christian? I rest my case. When it comes to getting unbiased news, when the news media only hires so called liberal minded people, Mostly Zionists, so how can we ever expect to get the truth?
