I'll even go further and say I'd have no problem with a proficiency test to ensure that someone purchasing a gun knows how to be safe with it.<br /><br />That said, I have to contend with your assertion that &.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13856253694243784280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11949850.post-83259005797573396772012-08-27T13:55:38.910-04:002012-08-27T13:55:38.910-04:00Joel, I agree with you in some aspects of your pos...Joel, I agree with you in some aspects of your post.

Certainly Jesus was aware of this yet he never told them to dispose of them. Further, when Peter cut off Malchus' ear at the time of Jesus arrest Jesus told him to "put up his sword or, put it back in its place....." not to throw it away.

Your points are well rooted in correctly applied scripture.<br />I happen to agree with you wholeheartedly, but it is good to be reminded of the importance of unity within the body regardless of personal nonessential convictions.<br />I also liked the reference to the line from my wife's Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
