DeadCalm and Walt Marshall,
I hope that you will reconsider closing this thread. Even though, I can not agree with some comments, I see that most of us are following the topic on respectful terms. I hope to learn from others here and enjoy the topic. It is refreshing to hear guys here speak on such a "taboo" topic that even most gun rights political activistic organizations won't even touch w/a ten foot pole. Thanks all the same for bringing up the topic. Its interesting, if nothing else.
Black Helo,
I agree that Nazis are no good and I wouldn't waste a minute trying to exchange information with a group if I thought they represented such an evil. Maybe you know something that I don't, but so far, I haven't heard Cornered Rat say anything that would lead me to believe that he was anyone other than a man of integrety. Certainly NOT a Nazi.
I realize that there have been many who have done evil things under the name of "Christianity". I don't even agree with many groups of those who claim to be Christians today, on many issues and Biblical doctrine any more than any one Jew would be in agreement with every other who claimed to be Jewish. You are entitled to your opinion, but you need to realize that those who represent Jesus Christ hold NO animosity toward the Jews. Those who harbor any ill will toward the Jewish people, come under the direct disciplinary justice of Jesus Christ. Why? Because He, Jesus the Christ (Jewish Messiah/"Annointed Savior") made the covenant to Abraham in Genesis 12:1-3. Hitler, who murdered both Jews and Christians, was not a representative of Jesus any more than any other anti-semitic individual. Any Christian that knows even the basic Bible teachings of the first, second, OR third covenants should be the best friend that Israel has. Until you've challenged yourself to study the Bible to learn enough about the Messiah to make an intelligent comment concerning His followers, please refrain from lumping all religious hate groups together as "Christ-ians". They don't represent Him any more than you do, not that I'm lumping you together with them. You simply don't represent Him; that's all. Jew-haters don't either; nor are they "Christian", translated "one who is like (resembles) Christ". If you are a Jew, I hope that you will consider the Jewish Scriptures of Isaiah 53 to start with.
Sorry to get off of the subject. Just thought that this issue had to be put to rest so we can go on with the topic at hand.
