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.



There's never been anything but "violent times," Sherlock.
