So, what weapon systems did Jesus recommend? :)
Harry, He never condoned, nor condemned having weapons.
You mean, there's no "reportage" of such a position. It's really
unfortunate Jesus didn't leave behind any writings. All we have is
what
other people wrote, and some of those "other people" had their own
agendas.

Well, you have free agent, what do you think?


About Jesus? *If* there was such a being, and *if* he were 51% as
described, a very cool dude. Christianity, not so much.

Both "bibles" are full of contradictions, sometimes, I think
deliberately. So, to conclude from the Sermon on the Mount that Jesus
was in favor of nonviolent resistance only would not be the only
possible answer, since in Luke it is also claimed that Jesus urged
those who were swordless to get on. But I believe that reference was
to self-defense only.

One certainly does not need a full-auto assault rifle for self-defense.

If you read he old testament you find that it is a violence filled tome.


D'oh.

Really?

Gosh.

Tim and I were discussing what Jesus might have thought of "weaponing
up," *not* the Old Testament. He wasn't a player in that set of books.


No **** Sherlock. But, he was familiar with them wasn't he? Could it be
that he had read them? Jesus did live in violent times. What a dumb ass
you are Krause.
