Review of The Armor of Light (2015) by Frances H — 14 Apr 2017
Something I have wanted to see happen. someone finally realizing that tthe gun lobby of the NRA and the evangelical movement should be diametrically opposed!. What did Christ say about someone assaulting you? "Turn the other cheek" I believe it was.
Christ never said for Christians to use force against anyone who attacked them. The early Christians believed in martyrdom--martyrs become saints, not warriors. Using a gun against one's fellow man is just the opposite of what Christ said and preached.
And them there is "Vengeance is MINE SAYTH THE LORD--not imperfect people here on earth. I loved this I loved the statement Reverend Schenck made that when he asked pastor where they got information on gun issues, the answered, "Fox News and the NRA.
" Then he answered, "Brothers, Fox News and the NRA are not spiritual authorities." I also liked his statement, "I'm concerned about the NRA promoting the idea that the best way to solve the most vexing problems in our society is to be prepared to shoot people dead.
That doesn't sit well with me as a Christian moral vision. And when we champoin the Second Amendment over and above the word of God, then we must be very careful that in respecting the Second Amendment, we don't violate the Second Commandment.
