Staropramen wrote:I live in NYC, walk to work most nights and am a known racist. If I could legally buy and carry a gun I would. But I can't. Nonetheless that doesn't stop me from walking to work at night because I have the whole armor of God. With the whole armor of God first one can make sensible choices regarding physical armor, weapons, etc. rather than being like, say Mjodr on Stormfront who's religion is his guns. Isn't there a scripture that says in effect that physical training is worth a little but spiritual strength is much more important?

i'm with bryan on this one, not using as much as we're able to on our end to defeat the enemy and assuming god will take care of it for us is testing him. we should arm ourselves physically and spiritually, because yahshua said also that when traveling, to sell your cloak and by a sword.
or something is just plain wrong with the Bible...

Some die as Martyrs.
10: He pleased God, and was beloved of him: so that living among sinners he was translated.
11: Yea speedily was he taken away, lest that wickedness should alter his understanding, or deceit beguile his soul.
12: For the bewitching of naughtiness doth obscure things that are honest; and the wandering of concupiscence doth undermine the simple mind.
13: He, being made perfect in a short time, fulfilled a long time:
14: For his soul pleased the Lord: therefore hasted he to take him away from among the wicked.
15: This the people saw, and understood it not, neither laid they up this in their minds, That his grace and mercy is with his saints, and that he hath respect unto his chosen.
16: Thus the righteous that is dead shall condemn the ungodly which are living; and youth that is soon perfected the many years and old age of the unrighteous.
17: For they shall see the end of the wise, and shall not understand what God in his counsel hath decreed of him, and to what end the Lord hath set him in safety.
18: They shall see him, and despise him; but God shall laugh them to scorn: and they shall hereafter be a vile carcase, and a reproach among the dead for evermore.
