Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: but I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
It's all been said. So don't get caught unable to protect yourself and those you love, please. Be Well. Rusty
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. Winston Churchill.
Didn't Jesus whip some ass when it needed whipping, money changers or the like? Why would He have a problem with a follower defending the faithful against someone with horrible intent?
Yep, platted a whip, a definite assault weapon, surely not defensive.
And, he did kick some serious arse, turned over tables, went ballistic. And it worked; he got their attention...

Nothing in scripture indicates that Jesus actually struck anyone with the whip, chances are he just intimidated/drove the money lenders who surely knew what a whip could do to them.
And Jesus wasnt 'carrying'...he had to go to the trouble of assembling a whip.
yet some folks seem to think he was an Indiana Jones...

I knew a Mormon, that guy loved guns and hunting. I bet that didn’t set good with him
I'm sure it doesn't sit well with many. I was the only non-Mormon in a machine shop. They like thier guns, and we would often go shooting together as a group.

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

I'll do just that. Then, it's my turn and it won't be a slap. It'll be one serious ass whuppin'. ou dumb jackass. Paul B.

My first wife was LDS so are the kids we had. After the divorce I was allowed no say in their upbringing. Just pat the support and and alimony.
Nonetheless, after many years I got se see my kids after they'd reached adulthood. My daughter now lives in Utah and a few years back my late wife and I had gone up to visit. They threw a get together for us and the women were one one side of the room doing girl talk and us guys on the other doing guy talk. The conversation quickly turned to guns and those guys knew their stuff. One interesting thing about LDS and this came from the man who was my father in law the church believed every man (church member) should be armed. I know the guys I met in Utah sure believed in that. I find it very strange that the leaders of the church would now take that stand. Paul B.

The Mormon church is no longer dominated by white western Americans. There are now more members in other countries (think poor, third world) than in the U.S. Their values have changed to reflect their tithe payers. Follow the money.
Lots and lots of Mormans around these parts. Probably the biggest religion in SW Idaho. The ones I know sure as heck never heard that sport hunting was discouraged by church doctrine.
Unless, perhaps, sport hunting is different than subsistence hunting. Because these guys are serious about filling the freezer.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
"If you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one"
Yes , I think He would.
Jesus didn't need a weapon. He came to die but no power on earth could kill him until it was time. He could have called on 10,000 angels if need be. He did, however, instruct his followers to arm themselves.

But did he suggest appropriate mindset and training to compliment caring a sword? ..
ie; ...men carrying are like men wearing pants its expected, but good men? [Magnificent Seven ]
lets remember everyone deserted Jesus and fled for their own safety. (Mark 14:50)
what good are swords in the hands of show pony cowards?
