Loving your neighbor is obedience to Christ, not hate and killing reduction. <br /><br />Being nice as an antidote to hate is like progressives claiming that if we are nice to America hating Muslims, they won't hate us anymore. <br /><br />Having said that, the household of faith is very week in the "love and good works" department. The system is self-ingratiating. Obeying Christ's instructions is not a hate and murder reduction plan, but a bringing glory to Christ plan.

There was a hue and cry about it, but it happened. Note how many mass shootings (of even more than one person) have happened since then. Note how many people in Australia walk around with a gun on their hip/shoulder in public (police and other law enforcement personnel only)<br />Now tell me that people in Australia don't feel safe because we don't have a loaded gun sitting nest to the bed or in my pocket, or in a hidden holster. Nobody I know subscribes to that theory. As far as I am aware, nobody I know even owns a gun (if they do, I don't know, because they don't flash it around, but keep it safely locked away). <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13492333852404775596noreply@blogger.com
