Luke 22:35-38
Jesus asked, "I have provided for all your needs haven't I?" When his followers answered yes He warned them with this command... "This world is evil and there are those who wish you physical harm for no other reason than because you believe in me. So wherever you go I want you to protect not only yourself, but what I have entrusted to you. So if you do not have a concealed handgun I want you to buy one." His followers responded, "we have 2." Jesus said, "that is enough."
Ok here is the original text:
It's all Greek to me... Dang those translations. The word that sword was translated from is machaira. It means a relatively short sword or other sharp instrument, a sword-dagger. This isn't a soldier's long sword, but a small sword, the handgun of the ancient world that was kept concealed and out of sight and used for protection. Jesus hated the use of violence. But is self defense violence? For me it is not.
So what does this mean? Really that is up to you to decide. Jesus didn't say to go out right away and apply for a concealed dagger permit. As such the Second Amendment to our Constitution states that our right to a gun for defense shall not be infringed. Not you are privileged to a hunting rifle if you fill out this paperwork and contact information. It is a natural law.
By being a citizen of this country... and a believer, we are given unalienable rights to carry a weapon for self defense. Do you agree?
Ok here is the original text:
[35] Then Jesus asked them, "When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?"
"Nothing," they answered.
[36] He said to them, "But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. [37] It is written: 'And he was numbered with the transgressors'; and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment."
[38] The disciples said, "See, Lord, here are two swords."
"That is enough," he replied.
