    Pastor Matt got a reaction from John Young in How about discussing protestant churches that confuse politics with Christianity?   
    The Bible is not open to personal interpretation
    2 Peter 1:20  Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

    I'd like to see churches focus on worship & praise of God. We get enough politix in the rest of our lives.

    Pastor Matt reacted to TheGloryLand in Meeting of the board   
    A man and his wife visit a church to hear the service, he said it was very boring to his wife. During the service the preacher announced that there will be a meeting of the board after service in the back of the church. So the man visiting went after the service went to the back of the church. The pastor said welcome may I help you?  The man visiting said,  is this the meeting of the boring service ?

    Pastor Matt reacted to Steven Yeadon in Texas Ban On Most Abortions Goes Into Effect   
    My prayer is that abortions will eventually stop. I know this looks highly unlikely, but God can do anything. For now, I am thanking Him for stopping any abortions in America. Murders stopped are murders stopped, after all. I know we live in what seems more and more like a modern version of pagan Rome. Romans left babies with defects or that were unwanted outside as trash for the dogs to eat them. We murder babies while in the womb for the same reasons. So, I know what my prayer is up against, but I celebrate any victories God gives us in praise to Him. I know that abortion will only truly end when Christ returns and punishes the wicked.

    We must also remember that prayer is more than just asking God for things. It is the very same, or even more intense relationship as we have, or should have, with our earthly father. We need extend that relationship to our heavenly Father, talk to Him the way he talks to you, in love and compassion, not just asking for things.

    God know what you need but still wants you to ask. He gets pleasure out of you asking and receiving.

    I'm familiar with it, I don't go into that part of Boston too often, just the Promised Land (Fenway Park).  Most of that area is cleaned up now, PTL. 
    Anyways, Swords are made and designed to kill. Just look up the history of a Sword, it was made for war so it does qualify as "assault" weapon. My gun is made for killing as well, I use it for other things like going to the range and shooting targets. My Sword is on my wall, it is used for decoration right now. Both made to kill.

    "Something more beneficial"? Are you aware that this is an IFB discussion board that was designed for fellowship between like minded Christians? How about YOU discussing Scriptural things instead of deflecting everything into the political realm?
    Finances? How about Scripture or Scriptural things? Now let's see how you deflect this.

    I remember each was tangled in sin or was in a condition set forth to glorify the Father and the Son. Your assumption as well as Bonhoeffer's is incorrect. Quoted scripture is NEVER incorrect. What men do is sin and what men omit is sorrow over sin to repentance and salvation.

    Evidently you don't have the foggiest clue regarding what a militia is Bill. A militia is made up of all of the able bodied citizens.
    Try this: 
    What did militia mean in 1776? What is a militia? At the time of the American Revolutionary War, militias were groups of able-bodied men who protected their towns, colonies, and eventually states.   What is a militia in simple terms? 1a : a part of the organized armed forces of a country liable to call only in emergency b : a body of citizens organized for military service. 2 : the whole body of able-bodied male citizens declared by law as being subject to call to military service.   How old do you have to be to be in a militia?17 years of age(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32 , under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States.

    It was completely legal for an early American to own a canon, which would have been considered an "assault" weapon in todays standards. The second amendment is in place as a means of controlling an oppressive government.
    Plus like the stats show. Hand guns kill more people that other guns combined in the US. So why go after automatic guns when those are the least used in killings?

    The second amendment is not for hunting weapons, it is in place as a means of controlling an oppressive government. The second amendment is the reason we are still a free nation. One valid reason to own a weapon like this is self defense, which we have a God given right to. Would you feel better going up against a criminal intruder with your sword if he were wielding a gun?

    There is no such thing as an "assault" rifle. Assault is an action, not a piece of equipment.

    Handguns seem to be the weapon of choice for committing a gun-related crimes. In Chicago in 2017 more than 90 percent of crime gun recoveries were handguns.
    Looks like it's that way across the US.
    https://www.statista.com/statistics/476409/mass-shootings-in-the-us-by-weapon-types-used/
    "Handguns are the most common weapon type used in mass shootings in the United States, with a total of 145 different handguns being used in 97 incidents between 1982 and May 2021."
    As usual, our government is not looking at the gun that kills the most lives.

    One of the ten commandments is "Thou shalt not kill", not that shall not own anything that can kill. We find in Scripture that God allows us to own weapons. Luke 22:37-39,

    @Totoosart I agree, it's great to hear from you again. I'm sorry to hear about the situation you're in where you live. Keep your head up and in the Word. 
    As far as church goes, you may want to pray about starting a Bible study in your home and see where the Lord leads.
