It’s decent actually. But I’ll be honest. I’m not gonna shoot someone for confiscation. I used to think differently, a few yrs ago. Just decided I’m not gonna kill for it. If the military backs up the deepstate, I would just die in a blaze of glory anyways. It goes back to my faith again. Hope it never comes to that. I can see many reasons to use lethal force if necessary. Like the NC child situation I heard about yesterday. But I can’t cling to my guns and have faith in God at the same time. One or the other, I have to place my faith in. I chose the Lord.
No offense to you personally, but that last bit makes no sense. Of course you can have faith in the Lord and use your firearms for a righteous cause. Did the Christians of days past just say “It’s in God’s hands” and lay down their arms as the Ottomans invaded? Heck no! They said “It’s in God’s hands” and killed some fucking invading Turks for daring to attack their home and families. I’m not telling you what to do, of course. It’s your life. But don’t be a defeatist when the moment is the hardest.
As a fellow Christian I’d say you’re on the right track and I completely understand what you meant regarding god vs guns sentence. It’s more figurative than literal, and can only be said by someone who has gone through the inner cleansing of realizing his dependence on his own self, “self reliance,” which contains a lot of fear and pride. True faith is realizing we are never meant to have faith in ourselves. I have gone through similar changes. I can’t hold on too tightly to my prepper stash, or else it becomes my god because my fear runs the show. So I give my fear to God and now I’m not so scared anymore. Funny how that works! Life is peaceful when you trust God

He’ll let me know. I’m not a pacifist. I own guns for reason(s). But I’ve decided when I “wont” use them. I can’t predict every scenario.
Fair enough friend. God bless you.

Very nicely put.
Your reply is exactly why the Left has continually run over the Right for decades. All puss, no bite. Man up dude.
