Was Lauren Boebert right in saying Christ may have prevented his crucifixion if he owned assault-style weapons?

@hippyjoe1955 I was unaware that the Second Amendment applied to Jesus in either Galilee or Judea. Perhaps that's why no one but you has mentioned the Second Amendment in this thread.

@ElwoodBlues nice point you got there. If you comb your hair right no one will notice.

@ElwoodBlues sounds more like a Maxine water's rally😂

@ElwoodBlues Stange how the image you posted looks like the artist rendition of cro magnon man. You some kind of racist? Strangely all the middle eastern people I know look very similar to their European cousins. A family from Lebanon has red hair. Now about the passage of scripture where Jesus said to feed the poor - could you point that out to me. I have read the Bible more times than years you have been alive and I can't recall that passage. I do remember Jesus rebuking Judas because Judas wanted to feed the poor and Jesus said, "The poor you will always have with you". Strange how He was defending a woman who spent a years wages on ointment for Jesus' feet.

@hippyjoe1955 Feed the [b][i]hungry[/i][/b], dude!!

36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.[/quote]
[i]Matthew[/i] 25:35-40 KJV

"Least of these my brethren," never noticed this passage before?? Dude, maybe you want to brush up on those reading comprehension skills!!

@ElwoodBlues If you think that you are to set up a welfare system/nanny state you have no idea what Jesus was talking about.

@hippyjoe1955 I said "feed the [b][i]hungry,[/i][/b]" dude. Not "feed the poor," but "feed the [b][i]hungry.[/i][/b]" I'm really sorry to see that you have such poor reading skills. I'm even sorrier to see how little you comprehend of Scripture, [b]LOL!!![/b]

@ElwoodBlues So you don't feed the poor or the hungry. Yawn.

@hippyjoe1955 Trying to duck the point now, LOL!!! Here, let me remind you of which ludicrous question of yours I was answering.


"Least of these my brethren," dude. You never noticed this passage before?? Dude, maybe you want to brush up on those reading comprehension skills!!

@ElwoodBlues Oh look wormwood is doing his cut and paste. Too funny. So I run a charity finding work for homeless people. What do you do? Oh I know you sit on SW making a twit of yourself because you don't understand the words of Jesus or its context. Too funny!!!!

@hippyjoe1955 You asked me to point out that passage of scripture where Jesus said to feed the hungry. I did so. Why are you now so bent out of shape?? Why not just admit that OF COURSE Jesus said to feed the hungry?? Is that really such a hard thing for you to admit??


"Least of these my brethren," dude. You know the passage. Why not just admit it???

@ElwoodBlues I pointed out that you are mistaken in your ideas. You are a leftist that believes in government. Kind of sad but that is your problem. Your words condemn you.

@hippyjoe1955 I said NOTHING about government; that was all you. Here, take another look at what I posted, your reading comprehension really seems to be suffering.


Responding to the above, you asked, and I answered:


Why are you now so bent out of shape?? Why not just admit that OF COURSE Jesus said to feed the hungry?? Is that really such a hard thing for you to admit??

@ElwoodBlues Your lack of self awareness is stunning.

@markansas So do you know how the books were chosen? BTW my Bible has the appropha in it. My son's orthodox has other books beside that. Do you have a serious point to make or are just trying to denigrate my faith? BTW I don't worship the Bible. I worship Yahweh. Yahweh speaks through the Bible but that doesn't mean I worship it.

@hippyjoe1955 no that was ok .. just needed to understand a few points. thanks . mark

@markansas The canon of scripture was set by having all the Christian bishops get together and pick the books that belonged. It was very high standard they set. Every book chosen had to have every bishop agree that it belonged there. If even one bishop said no the book was not accepted. Thus the 66 core books were deemed fully canonical. The other books were not burned nor destroyed. They are still available. They simply are not part of the canon. The Catholic church later added the appochipha and the Orthodox church added a couple more but those books were not considered canonical and are referred to as deuterocanonical. Kind of a second canon that justifies some practices in the church that would otherwise not be acceptable. The reformers decided that they would try to get back to the basics and rejected the deuterocanonical books but kept all the canonical books. Having done that they then set the standard Sola Scriptura. In other words unless it is in the Bible we don't do it. Thus Mariology as practiced in the Catholic church is banned and the veneration of the Icons in the Orthodox church is also banned.
