These two men are retired, and no the deacon did not noticed that I saw the gun. We are a small town, pastor RC, you know the size of our town and most likely our church. I think what I am having a hardtime wrapping my head around is this. There is a church an Apostolic ( oneness) in my community which is a cult. They have armed gaurds, with guns always have, I though that was strange years ago, long before this incident. One man owns a electronics store, and the other the deacon I trust his skills because he was a Fire investigator. The other one, Lord help us, would be like Barney Fife (sp). That is just an opinion I do not really know his markmans man ship skills, just him. Some one rushed the pastor, he might shoot his own toe off. I am joking maybe thinking of my own skills. The point is not really zamdad or earthless, or any off duty personel, carrying weapons. I do not like weapons with little children teenagers upstairs, and the pastor said in meeting there has been no threats. To me which has been wrong, or may differ from some oit seems like a power thing. Maybe it is because the only church I have known in my town who, had armed gaurds, have been a cult. This is just not a person having their gun with them, they are church security. Nothing warnts this in my opinion. Now there maybe churches that do have to have security, and yes I have thought about Jesus and the sword verse. These man were traveling, and there were wild animals also, you can reference this with the temptation of Jesus in the Desert. Paul was beaten, and all the disciples or apostles except John were killed, along with many other Christians in the early church and now. Were theyble fighters with the just, horrible fighters with their swords?
Now the church in Oklahoma city giving away guns as a prize is totally wrong. I do not know for sure if it is a hand gun or rifle, either way, why not seanon passess to Whitewater. Yes Pastor RC, I have been raised In Oklahoma since the age of five, my daddy unted, my brother, my uncles. I shot cans at the river when younger. I would defend my children with a gun if necessary. I just think things are going to far, with conceled weapons under mens suits. If I saw it I am sure others have. These are not young men either, probaly sixties. I do with common sense lock my doors when leaving for the store even. My husband has dome security at church ( he is huge) weapon free, just made sure things are ok. As far as the kitchen Knife I said, I was not anti-gun we have about twelve in the closet hand guns, and rifles. My husbband is Military for petes sake, he Field Artillery. You know cannons and such big guns. Many false teachers such as Jaunita Bynum, TD jakes, and other host of TBN preachers have armed gaurds. I thank you for opinions, I do see things in your points, I still have a problem with it being a power thing. On the second issue, giving uns to children as door prizes has a whole other set of problems. Who knows who, is a psyco kid going to shpoot your children at school. They do not have to pass a background check, they cannot even buy a gun at under eighteen. Who knows what type of child a weapon is given to? I mean an unbalnced child could come to win the prize and have revival at the Public Highschool.
