Killer at Christian school was “transgender”

I would say you can't be mentally stable, unless you are spiritually stable. So it's always related.



Using this logic, we should tell the military to get rid of all their weapons. Then we should tell them, only get some weapons if a war ever breaks out.
We should tell the police, get rid of all your weapons. Only use them when a crime happens.

In most cases, the reason conflict does NOT happen, is because the other side is armed. If we outlaw guns, then only outlaws will have guns.
Correct…

Ephesians 4:23
And be renewed in the spirit of your mind

2 Timothy 1:7
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
 
I do not agree at all that assessment. Somebody who loses it and pick up a knife and stab someone. It is not the gun that kills the victim, it is the person picking up the gun, the knife, the baseball bat, or using their own hands.

True, but a gun does way more damage than a knife. It is impossible to regulate everyone, but it is possible to regulate guns so as to minimise damage that a crazy person can do.
 
Using your logic, one should remove all steak knives, hatchets, baseball bats, ropes, and anything else that one could use to harm another person in the household.

You've missed my point. It is about minimising damage, not about removing everything. Besides, those things you've listed have daily uses. A gun has no daily use other than protection.

A person can be mentally unstable due to physical brain damage too. That's not a spiritual thing.

The military and police go through a rigorous mental assessment process before they are even given a gun. Not the laymen who buys a gun off a store.

Besides, a gun ban should prevent outlaws from owning it, if it doesn't, it's not a ban to begin with.
 
In addition, if you are using the firearm as a method of self-defense, and you believe in the sanctity of life, and that you were created by God in His image, you would see nothing wrong with picking up a fire arm, in order to protect yourself, or your family from harm, and preserve their lives.
I disagree. I use bow and arrow and different firearms to hunt a lot of what I eat. I hunt, fish, farm and forage for the bulk of what I eat. To me it is a way of life, and a God given right. Not to mention a constitutional right here in the U.S.
If you're fine with people who are out to kill having the same right, then I agree to disagree.

Owning a gun as a right is a double edged sword. If you don't want to minimize damage by banning guns, then you have to just accept gun violence as an unavoidable risk of allowing everyone to own guns. Apparently, you don't want to accept this risk or else you won't be posting/discussing on this thread. So what are we even discussing? You can't have it both ways, unfortunately.

At a bare minimum, US should start regulating the use of guns, so not everyone can purchase it unless its within a regulated use like maybe hunting. If anyone uses it beyond that regulated use, then a gun ban should apply for that individual. Or do you want children in schools to be armed too so they can protect themselves from gun violence??
 
I thank God my God is not like the gods of other folks Oh, if they only Knew, My [our]GOD!

"Even Though I Walk Through The Valley Of The Shadow Of Death, I Will Fear No Evil, For He is With Me; His Rod And His Staff, They comfort Me. 5 He has Prepare A Table Before Me In The Presence Of My Enemies. he has Anointed My Head With Oil; My Cup Overflows."

"My [our] GOD is The Maker of ALL HEAVEN AND EARTH and HE IS SOVEREIGN and all ETERNITY belongs to Him and Everything that EXISTs and I am One of His "Sons" INDICATIVE that will have, a Shared Inheritance of all that he has, both known and unknown.

if you can count The Galaxies and all of the Sola systems, is only a small part of that is a part of my shared Inheritance that belongs to me! and already is, a done deal, sign and sealed before creation was even CREATED.

Even the very air that men breath is a part of My Shared Inheritance, even things, that mankind have never seen or known that it exists. God has given me. even The angels of God belongs to us "indicative' Oh yes I am shouting now. and the quicker I died the closer The Inheritance will be! Oh, yes I can say with a joyful soul with an assurance just like Paul!


To Live is Christ Philippians 1
21For to me, to live is Christ, And To Die Is Gain. 22But if I go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. So what shall I choose? I do not know. 23I am torn between the two. I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better indeed.…:relieved:

And I know
I am not the only one feels this way. To live is Christ and to die is Gain" a moment of rejoicing, who would even want to stay one moment in this Corrupted world! to die is a celebration.

The people of the world of course do not want to go. But we are not of This WORLD for we have been "BORN OF GOD" and this is not our place for we are stranger here and we long for home in a far off place.

Nero's
chopping block, Andrews team of wild Horses pulling him apart, James swordsman sawing him into. Boiling oil for some The hangman's rope for others and flames of the fires at the stakes . The lion's mouth for others and the cross for the Christ. for it is a joy to died in the LORD.

But
I can understand if The Lords joy is not in ones soul, then death can be a
problem and a terror instead of a of Hope and rejoicing Joy.:pensive:

Come quickly Lord Jesus come quick or take me Home and may we, lie in your bosom.


Oh what Glory that awaits us! For this is what "The GOSPEL According to Jesus Christ"is all about! it is to die, you must die to live. now that is "The Good News" there cannot be "No
Better News" We
inherit it ALL, He has given us ALL! Not some He has given it all! For we are "THE GLORY OF GOD" THE FATHER "not him but "WE ARE "THE GLORY OF GOD"

All eternity will say behold there goes "THE SONS of THE LIVING GOD" and we will Light up all Eternity! For that is our brightness! yes it is worth to forsake it all! There is nothing that can compare to what belongs to us.

We have given it all, and willing to die and put it all on the Altar of GOD what ever earth had to offer.

And I
have been proclaiming the same message for years and it keeps getting better.

"For eyes have not seen nor have ears have heard" or entered into The heart of man"


But he has showed me! he has REVEALED IT TO me what eyes have not seen!
1 CORINTHIANS BSB
9Rather, as it is written: No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him.” 10But God has revealed it to us by the Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.…


YES we are not afraid to die, it is a blessing and not a curse we will rejoice when we close our eyes. and Praise GOD for the Glory that awaits That Manifestation Just like my Mother!

Thank God
I am finally dying, and I am ready to go home! and that is GOOD NEWS!


Dying is A victory for us!

…"When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come to pass: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” “Where, O Death, is your victory?":relieved:

And I
know I do not act like a Christian or talk like one. for I am not one, but The Lord knows "I am A Child of The Living GOD" and I talk like one and I walk like one and I proclaim The Gospel According to Jesus Christ" like a Child of GOD" who have Born of His SPIRIT and washed in His Blood and have had a Heavenly Birth and not like a creature of This world.

They, many have told me, even strangers you are different. and I am not a christian! but I am a "CHILD of the LIVING GOD" he chose me and I
didn't; choose Him. he called me, by My name! and I saw His face with the sadness of tears in His eyes! and I told him "No Lord don't die for me" But he did. and His voice broke my heart and The Oil of GOD pour on my soul the Holy Oil of GOD and I have never been the same, now over 44 years oh how he has kept me.

Oh yes he is real! He is real! For He is The SON of the
Living GOD:pensive:

Another short story. " I am a witness, for my GOD" Oh Yes I am I am a Witness for My GOD!

They already have laws for that, it’s called background checks. But even still it will not stop the violence because the enemy is within the violent, as it is the spirit of their father the Devil.

That is why no amount of laws, or weapons of war will ever stop the violence or bring peace. Only God can by removing the spirit of the Devil from mens hearts and minds, and by destroying all sinners from off the face of the earth.

This He will do, in due time. The saints must be patient in order to posses their souls, and let the Lord have His vengeance, for vengeance belongs to the Lord.

That's absolute nonsense. Plenty of nations have effectively tackled violent gun culture. The reason the problem remains to the extent that it does in the USA is entirely political. Bluntly, the vested interests in the gun lobby speak more loudly than the lives of children.

You can take all the guns away you want, but you will stop the violent from performing acts of violence, they will just use other methods to kill.

Not true. As has been demonstrated many times in many countries.

About 30 years ago there was a horrific shooting in a school in Scotland. Many children died. The government took action and banned hand guns. No mass shooting in a British school since.

The world stats do not include God’s definition of murder, therefore they cannot see that murder rates have increased in every country.

1 John 3:15
Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
