Though shalt not kill unless you want to bring a gun to church. (And you are doing GOD'S WORK when you GUN DOWN AN ABORTION DOCTOR in his church.. Dr. Tiller was gunned down in his). His ASSASSIN has a huge fan base. Pat Robertson: Blessed are the fully armed in church, theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven[/SIZE][/B] By David Edwards Tuesday, September 9, 2014 12:45 EDT TV preacher Pat Robertson on Tuesday argued that more guns in churches was a good idea to protect Christians because blessed are the fully armed. Its Sunday morning and they sing hymns and they praise the Lord and you listen to a sermon, good or bad, and you shake hands with your neighbors, and it seems like the one place in America youd think youd be safe: a church, Robertson explained to 700 Club viewers. But sadly, that isnt always true. Violent attacks and even deaths on church property occur far more often than people realize, he continued. The good news: you can protect yourself. What are you going to do? You going to give church members AK-47s at the door to let them blow away those intruders? After showing a report about how some churches were forming armed eyes and ears teams to watch for trouble during services, Robertson suggested an approach slightly more measured than giving the congregation military-style assault rifles. What is the new Beatitude? Blessed are the fully armed for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven, the CBN host laughed. I really believe that if the bad guys understand that the citizenry are able to react against them then they wont be as free to go into a crowded mall or a school or a church and start blowing people out. I do believe that that if people are trained with firearms, and theyre able to protect themselves, I dont think it will lead to more violence, it will lead to less, he continued. The idea of having citizens who are trained or to have off-duty police in your church is not a bad thing. Anyhow, its something to consider, Robertson concluded. You dont even think about it. You want to go to church to praise the Lord. You dont want to go to church to shoot people or to get shot. http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/09/...ed-in-church-theirs-is-the-kingdom-of-heaven/
The translation of the 10 Commandments reads "Thou shalt not commit murder". "Thou shalt not kill is a lazy translation. They are talking about murder and not acts of self defense or the defense of others. Here are other verses concerning "killing" in the Bible. Don't commit murder (Exodus 20:13) Don't accept ransom for life of the murderer (Numbers 35:31) Exile an accidental murderer (Numbers 35:25) Don't accept ransom from him (Numbers 35:32) Don't kill the murderer before trying him (Numbers 35:12) Save the pursued at the cost of the life of the pursuer (Deuteronomy 25:12) Don't show pity for the pursuer (Numbers 35:12) Don't stand idly by when you can save a life (Leviticus 19:16) Set aside cities of refuge for those who commit accidental homicide (Deuteronomy 19:3) Don't cause loss of human life (through negligence) (Deuteronomy 22: Robertson has made many stupid comments over the years, but this isn't one of those times. I carry in church every week, and I'm not the only one.
