There nothing wrong with depending on God. And as Christian we should. But God has given us knowledge

u said that by having a gun you are not trusting that god can protect u

Luke 22:36-38 says two swords (guns). 😉 😉

Yes, because God said that he will protect you.

Having a gun for self-defense*

How do you know that his plan isn't for me to save another follower by killing the evil person who is trying to hurt a child of God.

that makes no sense

A sword has no other purpose than for self defense.

Hunting sports?

That's like saying a gun has no other purpose than to kill

all christians or catholics if they did not fight back in the previous times would've been exterminated

No, a sword has no purpose in hunting sports.

thats why the crusades were important i mean

Much like Sampson protected the Israelites from the Palestinians.

When it's comes to self defense I think you are taking the term literally. It also include protecting other such as your family and friends

Not true the Christians during the time of Nero did not protect themselves, and instead lived on.

it didn't really work well for them tho?

They lived knowing God will protect them

And it worked out fine in the end.

their populations were low as hell

until Constantine the great came along

That's actually not true Christianity was spreading like a wildfire during that period of time

Constantine the great came along and made it encouraged.

That actually stopped the spread, because people outside considered it a "roman religion"

outside of the roman empire*

Persecution makes us stronger, and God will reward us for it.

I think u mean the ones that survived nero lived on...the ones that didn't get tossed to the lions, or lit up as human candles brought us Christianity.

And Christianity spread so fast the emperor couldn't deal with it

Christianity lived on, emperor nero ended up dying

Christianity lived nero died

Idk what he died of

@Cothelas Decaeneus Would you have fought in WW2 or would you just step back and let others die for you?

I'm Romanian so I wouldn't have fought, because I would have fought for the side of Hitler.

Also because it wasn't needed

lmfao yeah with his logic we shoulda just let hitler be

cuz god would take care of it

Is pentecostal popular in romania? @Cothelas Decaeneus

Hitler, Stalin, all of them.

You know Hitler's rise was predicted in Deuteronomy as a punishment to the jews the way it stopped was, because again God allowed it to be stopped through the use of mostly non Christians

Would you fight for the allies though?

im just sayin if we got the power to stop an atrocity then as a good human we should
