QOTD: "I wanted to know: Would Jesus ever use a gun?

The pastor thought a moment. “I don’t think so, because as God, he doesn’t need a gun. He can command anything, and it would happen. But all of his followers carried swords for three and a half years, and not one time did he tell them to put those swords down. The only time that Jesus told Peter to put his sword back was at the very end. That was because Jesus came to die on the cross to pay for our sins, and he did not want Peter to get in the way.”

“Why did Jesus want them to have swords?”

“For exactly what we need guns for—for personal protection and to protect our liberties… All you have to do is read 1984 to know what’s going on in this country.”" --Roc Morin

I think Morin is confused. Jesus "kept and guarded" his disciples (John 17.14)throughout his ministry and asked "did you lack anything?" He then told them because He was leaving to take more for their journey including swords.
The responsibilities of a Christian are succinctly outlined in Mark 13.34. Christ gives His followers authority and work - authority to speak in His name, authority work, authority to watch and pray concerning temptation, what steals, what kills and what destroys because inherent in this is the authority to guard what God has given to us. This is exactly where the Church has erred, by thinking it was humility to flex on issues when we were told to say "NO" to unrighteousness and pray.
The Great Awakening that swept America before the Revolution prepared Christians to fight for Liberty. Take a sword? You bet, but it is God who shapes the battle and authors liberty.

Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

Luke 22:36 (KJV)

What are you waiting for? Buy a gun already!
