Oh boy yet another Jesus as a Rorschach test. Kinda like the people who quote that one verse from Leviticus but seem to forget all the other stuff.
“GOD SAYS HE HATES FAGS! And no, I won’t keep a Kosher Kitchen, that’s for those Jews!”
uh-huh, you’re reading their book, Jethro!

“But now the one who has a purse must take it, and likewise a bag. And the one who has no sword must sell his cloak and buy one.”
-Jesus Christ in Luke 22:36
Jesus said right before his death and he was basically instructing his disciples to be prepared for the time of persecution that would surely follow.

“GOD SAYS HE HATES FAGS! And no, I won’t keep a Kosher Kitchen, that’s for those Jews!”
Jesus specifically exempts Christians from Kosher dietary law in the New Testament. On the other hand the the NT reiterates all the homosexuality prohibitions with passages like Romans 1:26-27.

Shouldn’t WWJD really stand for What Would JayG Do?

“On the other hand the the NT reiterates all the homosexuality prohibitions with passages like Romans 1:26-27.”
So not only do gun-control advocates want the gays to be unarmed when attacked by gay-bashers, but they also want them to go to hell after they are murdered?

“So not only do gun-control advocates want the gays to be unarmed when attacked by gay-bashers, but they also want them to go to hell after they are murdered?”
Of course not. Gun control advocates will pick and choose their religious convictions and rhetoric based on the outcomes they want.

To reiterate Jeff’s comments to Weer’d’s first comment…
“Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. 11Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.” 1Corinthians 6:9, 10
Just slightly more clear than the Romans verse.
And like the Luke scripture says on the sword…

The idea that Jesus was a pussy was the reason I rejected Christianity in the first place. Every hard core anti-gunner I knew was also a hard core bible thumper. To my way of thinking at the time, being a Christian meant rejecting violence, which meant not only that Christianity was fundamentally flawed in it’s thinking, it was downright stupid. I was not able to see Christians as people of diverse and varying viewpoints until I was in my early 20’s, and I was not able to see religion in general as a potential good for society until years later.
When I was a teenager, and hadn’t yet become a complete atheist, I read about Islam (this was in the late 90’s) and I was like “Now, these motherfuckers have the right idea! You don’t believe in our prophet? WE’LL FUCKING KILL YOU! Respect!”
I was something of a violent teenager, I’m told. The promotion of violence is a central reason as to why Islam is on the rise all over the world, especially in Europe. Europeans used to be badasses, but then they got all touchy-feely, and became soft Christians, then post Christians, then secular humanists, and now they suck. They’re a bunch of weaklings, and there isn’t a young man on the planet who wants to be identified as a weakling. There’s nothing appealing about Post-Christian European culture, and young men are beginning to look East to violent, male dominated cultures. I know the appeal of Islam, because it appealed to me, I just was smart enough to find my own way without it.
Potentially the greatest danger that Christianity faces is it’s total rejection by young men. Men tend to be the initiators of a culture, and women perpetuate it. Example: Gun Culture. Without young men, Christianity will continue to decline, and Islam will continue to rise. The perception that Jesus would or did reject all forms of violence will be the death of Christianity as a serious ideological contender.

The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus(B) went up to Jerusalem. 14(C) In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers sitting there. 15And making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen. And he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. 16And he told those who sold the pigeons, “Take these things away; do not make(D) my Father’s house a house of trade.” -Jn2:13-16
“If the thief is found breaking in, and he is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt for his bloodshed. 3 “If the sun has risen on him, there shall be guilt for his bloodshed.” -Ex22:2-3
It’s almost like there are times when violence is appropriate or something.
