Catholics want to take away your guns

[tombogan03884]

 The Bible says, "When a strong man, armed, guards his house, his goods are in order."

I'm just waiting for one of the volunteers checking the gun as safe, to touch a round of into their wall.

The Bible says, "When a strong man, armed, guards his house, his goods are in order."

The parable is found in four different forms:

    * Or again, how can anyone enter a strong man's house and carry off his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can rob his house. (Matt 12:29)
    * In fact, no one can enter a strong man's house and carry off his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he can rob his house. (Mark 3:27)
    * When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe. But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted and divides up the spoils. (Luke 11:21-22)
    * Jesus said, "It is not possible for anyone to enter the house of a strong man and take it by force unless he binds his hands; then he will (be able to) ransack his house." (Thomas 35)

Guys, while I could have cut down the wod count a bit, nuance IS necessary. Its because there are twopoints.
1 blaming stuff rather than people is dumb
2 human nature is constant and nothing will change it
Thus, as those last Biblical quotes indicate: Buy a gun because folks will try to steal your stuff and hurt you.
See, I can do simple.

TAB, there is more to each of those quotes.  The Bible says that you should AVOID an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, lest the whole world be blind and toothless.  And the Bible says, "Vengeance is mine, SAYETH THE LORD."  (not "sayeth the TAB")

my point was you can't take the bible word for word.

Of course you can. You just need to know what the words mean.

And there is a huge difference between justice (eye for an eye) and revenge (vengeance).

And there is a huge difference between justice (eye for an eye) and revenge (vengeance).

And you need to take the words in context.
